American Standard Version

Psalm 37:2-11 American Standard Version (ASV)

2. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb.

3. Trust in Jehovah, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on his faithfulness.

4. Delight thyself also in Jehovah; And he will give thee the desires of thy heart.

5. Commit thy way unto Jehovah; Trust also in him, and he will bring it to pass.

6. And he will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, And thy justice as the noon-day.

7. Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him: Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, Because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

8. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: Fret not thyself, it tendeth only to evil-doing.

9. For evil-doers shall be cut off; But those that wait for Jehovah, they shall inherit the land.

10. For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: Yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and he shall not be.

11. But the meek shall inherit the land, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
