Psalm 37: For evil-doers fret thou not

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 17 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 37 First Line: For evil-doers fret thou not Lyrics: 1For evil-doers fret thou not thyself unquietly; Nor do thou envy bear to those that work iniquity. 2For, even like unto the grass, soon be cut down shall they; And, like the green and tender herb, they wither shall away. 3Set thou thy trust upon the Lord, and be thou doing good; And so thou in the land shalt dwell, and verily have food. 4Delight thyself in God; he’ll give thine heart’s desire to thee. 5Thy way to God commit, him trust, it bring to pass shall he. 6And, like unto the light, he shall thy righteousness display; And he thy judgment shall bring forth like noon-tide of the day. 7Rest in the Lord, and patiently wait for him: do not fret For him who, prosp’ring in his way, success in sin doth get. 8Do thou from anger cease, and wrath see thou forsake also: Fret not thyself in any wise, that evil thou should’st do. 9For those that evil doers are shall be cut off and fall: But those that wait upon the Lord the earth inherit shall. 10For yet a little while, and then the wicked shall not be; His place thou shalt consider well, but it thou shalt not see. 11But by inheritance the earth the meek ones shall possess: They also shall delight themselves in an abundant peace. 12The wicked plots against the just, and at him whets his teeth: 13The Lord shall laugh at him, because his day he coming seeth. 14The wicked have drawn out the sword, and bent their bow, to slay The poor and needy, and to kill men of an upright way. 15But their own sword, which they have drawn, shall enter their own heart: Their bows which they have bent shall break, and into pieces part. 16A little that a just man hath is more and better far Than is the wealth of many such as lewd and wicked are. 17For sinners’ arms shall broken be; but God the just sustains. 18God knows the just man’s days, and still their heritage remains. 19They shall not be asham’d when they the evil time do see; And when the days of famine are, they satisfy’d shall be. 20But wicked men, and foes of God, as fat of lambs, decay; They shall consume, yea, into smoke they shall consume away. 21The wicked borrows, but the same again he doth not pay; Whereas the righteous mercy shews, and gives his own away. 22For such as blessed be of him the earth inherit shall; And they that cursed are of him shall be destroyed all. 23A good man’s footsteps by the Lord are ordered aright; And in the way wherein he walks he greatly doth delight. 24Although he fall, yet shall he not be cast down utterly; Because the Lord with his own hand upholds him mightily. 25I have been young, and now am old, yet have I never seen The just man left, nor that his seed for bread have beggars been. 26He’s ever merciful, and lends: his seed is bless’d therefore. 27Depart from evil, and do good, and dwell for evermore. 28For God loves judgment, and his saints leaves not in any case; They are kept ever: but cut off shall be the sinner’s race. 29The just inherit shall the land, and ever in it dwell: 30The just man’s mouth doth wisdom speak; his tongue doth judgment tell. 31In’s heart the law is of his God, his steps slide not away. 32The wicked man doth watch the just, and seeketh him to slay. 33Yet him the Lord will not forsake, nor leave him in his hands: The righteous will he not condemn, when he in judgment stands. 34Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and thee exalt shall he Th’ earth to inherit; when cut off the wicked thou shalt see. 35I saw the wicked great in pow’r, spread like a green bay-tree: 36He pass’d, yea, was not; him I sought, but found he could not be. 37Mark thou the perfect, and behold the man of uprightness; Because that surely of this man the latter end is peace. 38But those men that transgressors are shall be destroy’d together; The latter end of wicked men shall be cut off for ever. 39But the salvation of the just is from the Lord above; He in the time of their distress their stay and strength doth prove. 40The Lord shall help, and them deliver: he shall them free and save From wicked men; because in him their confidence they have.

Tho' wicked Men grow rich or great

Appears in 15 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 37 Lyrics: 1 Tho' wicked Men grow rich or great, Yet let not their successful State Thy Anger, or thy Envy, raise; 2 For they, cut down, like tender Grass, Or like young Flow'rs, away shall pass, Whose blooming Beauty soon decays. 3 Depend on God, and Him obey; So thou within the Land shalt stay, Secure from Danger, and from Want; 4 Make His Commands thy chief Delight; And He, thy Duty to requite, Shall all thy earnest Wishes grant. 5 In all thy Ways trust thou the Lord, And He will needful Help afford, To perfect ev'ry just Design; 6 He'll make, like Light, serene and clear, Thy clouded Innocence appear, And as a mid-day Sun to shine. 7 With quiet Mind on God depend, And patiently for Him attend; Nor let thy Anger fondly rise, Tho' wicked men with Wealth abound, And with Success the Plots are crown'd, Which they maliciously devise. 8 From Anger cease, and Wrath forsake; Let no ungovern'd Passion make Thy wav'ring Heart espous their Crime: 9 For God shall sinful Men destroy; Whilst only they the Land enjoy, Who trust on Him, and wait His Time. 10 How soon shall wicked Men decay! Their Place shall vanish quite away, Nor by the strictest Search be found; 11 Whilst humble Souls possess the Earth, Rejoicing still with godly Mirth, With Peace and Plenty always crown'd. Part II 12 While sinful Crouds, with false Design, Against the righteous Few combine, And gnash their Teeth, and threat'ning stand; 13 God shall their empty Plots deride, And laugh at their defeated Pride: He sees their Ruin near at hand. 14 They draw the Sword, and bend the Bow, The Poor and Needy to o'erthrow, And Men of upright Lives to slay: 15 But their strong Bows shall soon be broke Their sharpen'd Weapon's mortal Stroke Thro' their own Hearts shall force its Way. 16 A Little, with God's Favour blest, That's by one righteous Men possess'd, The Wealth of many Bad excels: 17 For God supports the just Man's Cause; But, as for those that break his Laws, Their unsuccessful Pow'r He quells. 18 His constant Care the Upright guides, And over all their Life presides; Their Portion shall for ever last: 19 They, when Distress o'erwhelms the Earth, Shall be unmov'd, and ev'n in Dearth The happy Fruits of Plenty taste. 20 Not so the wicked Men, and those Who proudly dare God's Will oppose: Destruction is their hapless Share: Like Fat of Lambs, their Hopes, and they, Shall in an Instant melt away, And vanish into Smoke and Air. Part III 21 While Sinners, brought to sad Decay, Still borrow on, and never pay, The Just have Will and Pow'r to give; 22 For such as God vouchsafes to bless, Shall peaceably the Earth possess; And those He curses, shall not live. 23 The good Man's Way is God's Delight; He orders all the Steps aright, Of him that moves by his Command; 24 Though he sometimes may be distress'd; Yet shall he ne'er be quite oppress'd; For God upholds him with his Hand. 25 From my first youth, till Age prevail'd, I never saw the Righteous fail'd, Or Want o'ertake his num'rous Race, 26 Because Compassion fill'd his Heart, And he did chearfully impart, God made his offspring's Wealth increase. 27 With Caution shun each wicked Deed, In Virtue's Ways with Zeal proceed, And so prolong your happy Days: 28 For God, who Judgment loves, does still Preserve his Saints secure from Ill, While soon the wicked Race decays. 29,30,31 The Upright shall possess the land: His Portion shall for Ages stand; His Mouth with Wisdom is supply'd; His Tongue by Rules of Judgment moves; His Heart the Law of God approves; Therefore his Footsteps never slide. Part IV 32 In wait the watchful Sinner lies, In vain, his righteous to surprize, In vain, his Ruin does decree: 33 God will not him defenceless leave, To his Revenge expos'd, but save, And, when he's sentenc'd, set him free. 34 Wait still on God; keep his Commands; And thou, exalted in the land, Thy blest Possession ne'er shalt quit: The Wicked soon destroy'd shall be, And at his dismal Tragedy Thou shalt a safe Spectator sit. 35 The Wicked I in Pow'r have seen, And, like a Bay-tree, fresh and green, That spreads its pleasant Branches round; 36 But he was gone as swift as Thought; And tho' in ev'ry Place I sought, No Sign or Track of him I found. 37 Observe the perfect Man with Care, And mark all such as upright are; Their roughest Days in Peace shall end: 38 While on the latter End of those, Who dare God's sacred Will oppose. A common Ruin shall attend. 39 God to the Just will Aid afford; Their only Safeguard is the Lord; Their Strength, in time of Need, is He: 40 Because on Him they still depend, The Lord will timely Succour send, And from the Wicked set them free.

A Psalm of David

Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 37 First Line: Fret not thy self at wicked men Lyrics: 1 Fret not thy self at wicked men, for their prosperity; Nor be thou envious at the men who work iniquity. 2 For like the grass that flourished, cut quickly down are they; And like the green and tender herb, shall wither soon away. 3 Upon JEHOVAH put thy trust, and be thou doing good: So shalt thou dwell within the land, and truth* shall be thy food. 4 See that thou set thy hearts' delight chiefly upon the LORD: Then the just wishes of thy heart to thee he will afford. 5 Upon the LORD devolve thy way, by faith on Him depend; And He will bring thy good designs to a most happy end. 6 Yea, like the shining light will he they righteousness display; And He thy judgment will bring forth clear-shining as noon-day. 7 Rest on the LORD, and patiently wait for Him; fret not thou At him who prospers in his way in ill devices now. 8 All wrath relinquish utterly; cease from rash anger too: In no wise fret thy self, to move Thee any ill to do. 9 For those who evil doers are shall be cut off and fall; But those who on JEHOVAH wait the earth inherit shall. 10 For, yet a little while, and here the wicked shall not be. Yea thou shalt look and view his place but him thou shalt not see. 11 Whereas the meek and humble shall the earth as heirs possess; And thankfully delight themselves in plenteousness of peace. [2 Part] 12 The wicked plots against the just; they gnash their teeth and foam; 13 But them the Lord derides, and sees their fatal day will come. 14 The wicked forth their sword have drawn and bent their bow have they To cast the poor and needy down, The upright men to slay. 15 But their own swords into their hearts shall enter suddenly: Their bows which they have bent shall all in pieces broken be. 16 The little that a righteous man enjoys, is better far, Than when to many wicked join'd their stores of riches are. 17 For of ungodly men the arms shall wholly broken be; But those who righteous are, the LORD will hold up carefully. 18 The LORD, the days of upright men exactly knows; and sure Their promised inheritance for ever shall endure. 19 In dangerous and evil times, from shame they shall be free; And when the days of famine come, they satify'd shall be. 20 But wicked men shall perish soon; and who the LORD provoke, Shall like the fat of lambs consume, and vanish into smoke. [3 Part] 21 The man ungodly borrows much, and takes no are to pay; Whereas the just man mercy shews, and freely gives away. 22 For such as blessed are by Him, The earth inherit shall: But those who by Him cursed are, shall be cut off and fall. 23 The steps of good men by the LORD are ordered aright; And in their good and righteous way, He takes a great delight. 24 Altho' they fall, yet shall they not be cast down utterly; Because JEHOVAH with his hand upholds them carefully. 25 Nor in my youth, nor in my age, ev'n to my hoary head; Nor have I seen the just forsook, nor their seed begging bread. 26 He shews his mercy ev'ry day and lends to those who need; And blessing he behind him leaves, to all his godly seed. 27 Wherefore from evil far depart; do good; and then besure, Thou shalt have such a dwelling place as ever shall endure. 28 Because the LORD doth judgment love, his saints forsakes not He: Kept ever are they; but cut off, the sinner's race shall be. 29 The just inherit shall the land, And ever therein dwell. 30 The just man's mouth doth wisdom speak; His tongue right judgment tell. 31 The God's pure law is in his heart, none of his steps shall stray. 32 The wicked watches for the just, And seeks for him to slay. 33 But yet JEHOVAH will not leave the just man in his hands; Nor will the righteous man condemn when He in judgment stands. [4 Part] 34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way; and Thee exalt will He, Th' earth to inherit, when cut off the wicked thou shalt see. 35 The wicked man I have beheld in dreadful pow'r and pride; Ev'n like a laurel flourishing, and spreading far and wide. 36 Nevertheless he pass'd away, and, lo he quite was gone; I searched for him, but could find no glimpse of such a one. 37 But mark the perfect, and observe the man of uprightness; And thou shalt see, that of this man the latter end is peace. 36 Whereas those who transgressors are, together perish shall; To be cut off shall be the end of men ungodly all. 39 But the salvation of the just does from JEHOVAH come: And he's their strength to whom they look in times most troublesome. 40 Yea help and free them will the LORD; he will defend the just From wicked men, He will them save, because in Him they trust.
