Salmos 37
Grunewald-Ubersetzung
1Von David. - Ereifere dich nicht der Bösewichte wegen!Beneide nicht die Übeltäter!
2Sie welken schnell wie Gras,verdorren wie das grüne Kraut.
3Vertrau dem Herrn! Tu Gutes!Verbleib im Land, dich redlich nährend!
4Wie ein verwöhntes Kind komm zu dem Herrn!Er gibt dir, was dein Herz sich wünscht.
5Befiehl du deinen Weg dein Herrn!Auf ihn vertrau! Er wird's schon machen.
6Er bringt ans Licht, daß du gerecht,und an den Tag, daß du im Recht.
7Und schweig zum Herrn und harre sein!Ereifere über den dich nicht, der sich Erfolg erzwingt,nicht über einen Mann, der Schwindel treibt!
8Gib auf den Ärger! So ereifere dich nicht,daß selbst du Böses tätest!
9Denn ausgerottet werden Übeltäter;die auf den Herrn vertrauen, bleiben im Besitz des Landes.
10Noch kurze Zeit! Dann ist der Bösewicht dahin!Du schaust nach seiner Stätte. Er ist nicht mehr.
11Die Dulder bleiben im Besitz des Landesan reichem Glücke sich erlabend.
12Dem Frommen plant zuleid der Frevler Argesund fletscht die Zähne wider ihn.
13Der Herr lacht seiner;schon sieht er seinen Tag sich nahen.
14Die Frevler zücken zwar ihr Schwert und spannen ihren Bogen,um Elende und Arme zu erlegenund hinzuwürgen, die geraden Wandels.
15Allein ihr Schwert dringt in ihr eigen Herz,und ihre Bogen splittern.
16Das Wenige bekommt dem Frommen besser,als Frevlern großer Reichtum.
17Zerbrochen werden ja der Frevler Arme;die Frommen aber stützt der Herr.
18Der Herr sorgt für die Tage lauterer Menschen,und ihr Besitztum dauert immerfort.
19Sie werden nicht in böser Zeit zuschanden;sie werden satt in Hungertagen.
20Denn nur die Frevler gehn zugrunde,des Herrn Feinde gleich der Auen Pracht;sie schwinden hin wie Rauch; sie schwinden.
21Der Frevler borgt,kann's aber nicht zurückerstatten;freigebig, milde kann der Fromme sein.
22Denn die von ihm Gesegneten verbleiben im Besitz des Landes;doch die von ihm Verfluchten werden ausgerottet.
23Sind eines Mannes Schritte recht im Hinblick auf den Herrn,dann kümmert dieser sich um seinen Weg.
24Und wankt er auch, so stürzt er nicht;ihn stützt der Herr mit seiner Hand.
25Ich war ein Jüngling, ward ein Greis;doch ganz verlassen habe ich den Frommen nie gesehen,noch sein Geschlecht um Nahrung betteln.
26Stets milde, leiht es allezeit;zum Segen sät es aus.
27Dem Laster gram, der Tugend hold,so bleibst du immerdar.
28Der Herr liebt ja das Recht;von seinen Frommen läßt er nicht.Sie sind für alle Zeit geschützt;der Frevler Brut wird ausgerottet.
29Den Frommen wird das Land zu eigen,sie bleiben ewiglich darin.
30Des Frommen Mund spricht Weises;nur Rechtes redet seine Zunge.
31Im Herzen trägt er seines Gottes Lehre,und seine Schritte schwanken nie.
32Der Frevler lauert auf dem Frommen,begierig, ihn zu morden.
33Doch überläßt der Herr ihn nimmer seiner Hand,läßt vor Gericht ihn nicht verdammen.
34Dem Herrn vertrau! Halt dich an seinen Weg!Dann gibt er dir das Land zu eigen;der Frevler Untergang erlebst du noch.
35Ich habe einen Frevler voller Trotz gesehen,so kahl gemacht wie Gras im Felde.
36Man schaute um; er war nicht mehr.Ich suchte ihn; er war nicht mehr zu finden.
37Merk auf die Lauteren! Schau auf die Redlichen, wie's jedem gut am Ende geht!
38Die Missetäter aber werden all vertilgt;der Frevler Zukunft wird vernichtet.
39Der Frommen Heil dagegen kommt vom Herrn;er ist ihr Schutz zur Zeit der Not.
40Der Herr steht ihnen bei und rettet sie;er schirmt und schützt sie vor dem Bösen;denn sie vertraun auf ihn.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Salmo de David. NO te impacientes á causa de los malignos, ni tengas envidia de los que hacen iniquidad.
2Porque como hierba serán presto cortados, y decaerán como verdor de renuevo.
3Espera en Jehová, y haz bien; vivirás en la tierra, y en verdad serás alimentado.
4Pon asimismo tu delicia en Jehová, y él te dará las peticiones de tu corazón.
5Encomienda á Jehová tu camino, y espera en él; y él hará.
6Y exhibirá tu justicia como la luz, y tus derechos como el medio día.
7Calla á Jehová, y espera en él: no te alteres con motivo del que prospera en su camino, por el hombre que hace maldades.
8Déjate de la ira, y depón el enojo: no te excites en manera alguna á hacer lo malo.
9Porque los malignos serán talados, mas los que esperan en Jehová, ellos heredarán la tierra.
10Pues de aquí á poco no será el malo: y contemplarás sobre su lugar, y no parecerá.
11Pero los mansos heredarán la tierra, y se recrearán con abundancia de paz.
12Maquina el impío contra el justo, y cruje sobre él sus dientes.
13El Señor se reirá de él; porque ve que viene su día.
14Los impíos desenvainaron espada, y entesaron su arco, para derribar al pobre y al menesteroso, para matar á los de recto proceder.
15La espada de ellos entrará en su mismo corazón, y su arco será quebrado.
16Mejor es lo poco del justo, que las riquezas de muchos pecadores.
17Porque los brazos de los impíos serán quebrados: mas el que sostiene á los justos es Jehová.
18Conoce Jehová los días de los perfectos: y la heredad de ellos será para siempre.
19No serán avergonzados en el mal tiempo; y en los días de hambre serán hartos.
20Mas los impíos perecerán, y los enemigos de Jehová como la grasa de los carneros serán consumidos: se disiparán como humo.
21El impío toma prestado, y no paga; mas el justo tiene misericordia, y da.
22Porque los benditos de él heredarán la tierra; y los malditos de él serán talados.
23Por Jehová son ordenados los pasos del hombre, y aprueba su camino.
24Cuando cayere, no quedará postrado; porque Jehová sostiene su mano.
25Mozo fuí, y he envejecido, y no he visto justo desamparado, ni su simiente que mendigue pan.
26En todo tiempo tiene misericordia, y presta; y su simiente es para bendición.
27Apártate del mal, y haz el bien, y vivirás para siempre.
28Porque Jehová ama la rectitud, y no desampara sus santos: para siempre serán guardados; mas la simiente de los impíos será extirpada.
29Los justos heredarán la tierra, y vivirán para siempre sobre ella.
30La boca del justo hablará sabiduría; y su lengua proferirá juicio.
31La ley de su Dios está en su corazón; por tanto sus pasos no vacilarán.
32Acecha el impío al justo, y procura matarlo.
33Jehová no lo dejará en sus manos, ni lo condenará cuando le juzgaren.
34Espera en Jehová, y guarda su camino, y él te ensalzará para heredar la tierra: cuando serán talados los pecadores, lo verás.
35Vi yo al impío sumamente ensalzado, y que se extendía como un laurel verde.
36Empero pasóse, y he aquí no parece; y busquélo, y no fué hallado.
37Considera al íntegro, y mira al justo: que la postrimería de cada uno de ellos es paz.
38Mas los transgresores fueron todos á una destruídos: la postrimería de los impíos fué talada.
39Pero la salvación de los justos es de Jehová, y él es su fortaleza en el tiempo de angustia.
40Y Jehová los ayudará, y los librará: y libertarálos de los impíos, y los salvará, por cuanto en él esperaron.
King James Version
1Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
2For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
6And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7Rest in the LORD, 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.
8Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
10For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
11But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
14The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
15Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.
17For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
18The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
21The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.
22For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
23The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
24Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
25I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
26He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
27Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
28For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
29The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
30The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
31The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
32The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
33The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
34Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
35I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
36Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
38But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
39But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
40And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
World English Bible
1Don’t fret because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.
2For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither like the green herb.
3Trust in the LORD, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.
4Also delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5Commit your way to the LORD. Trust also in him, and he will do this:
6he will make your righteousness shine out like light, and your justice as the noon day sun.
7Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.
8Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Don’t fret; it leads only to evildoing.
9For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land.
10For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more. Yes, though you look for his place, he isn’t there.
11But the humble shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth.
13The Lord will laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming.
14The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill those who are upright on the path.
15Their sword shall enter into their own heart. Their bows shall be broken.
16Better is a little that the righteous has, than the abundance of many wicked.
17For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.
18The LORD knows the days of the perfect. Their inheritance shall be forever.
19They shall not be disappointed in the time of evil. In the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

24Though he stumble, he shall not fall, for the LORD holds him up with his hand.
25I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread.
26All day long he deals graciously, and lends. His offspring is blessed.
27Depart from evil, and do good. Live securely forever.
28For the LORD loves justice, and doesn’t forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.
29The righteous shall inherit the land, and live in it forever.
30The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom. His tongue speaks justice.
31The law of his God is in his heart. None of his steps shall slide.
32The wicked watch the righteous, and seek to kill him.
33The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
34Wait for the LORD, and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
35I have seen the wicked in great power, spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
36But he passed away, and behold, he was not. Yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37Mark the perfect man, and see the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace.
38As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together. The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
39But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
40The LORD helps them and rescues them. He rescues them from the wicked and saves them, because they have taken refuge in him.
