\n\nDon't get excited over those doing evil;\n Don't get hot about the unjust.\n\nFor like grass they will quickly wither\n And like greenery quickly fade.\n\nTrust in Yahweh and do good!\n Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness!\n\nAnd delight in Yahweh\n And he will give you what your heart asks.\n\nAim your way at Yahweh\n Trust him and he will act.\n\nIn bright light he will show that you are right,\n And display your integrity at high noon.\n\nBe silent before Yahweh\n And wait patiently for him.\n\nDo not excite yourself over someone who prospers in his way ---\n A man executing his wicked plans.\n\nStop getting angry! \n Let go of your wrath!\n Do not keep getting worked up! \nIt leads only to evil.\n\nFor those doing evil will be exterminated;\n Those who wait for Yahweh will take their place in the land.\n\nIn a little while --- no more wicked person!\n You carefully search his turf --- gone!\n\nBut the downcast will own the land\n And revel in abundant peace!\n\nThe wicked person schemes against righteous people\n And gnashes his teeth at them.\n\nBut the Lord mocks him\n Because he sees that his day will come.\n\nWicked people draw swords and bend bows\n To bring down the humble and lowly,\n And to slaughter those who walk straight paths.\n\nTheir swords will pierce their own hearts\n And their bows will be snapped.\n\nEven the poverty of a righteous person\n Is better than the collected wealth of many wicked.\n\nFor the strong arm of the wicked will be broken\n But Yahweh makes righteous people stand.\n\nYahweh knows the days of those with integrity\n And their inheritance lasts forever.\n\nThey are not caught short in evil times\n Even during a famine they are full.\n\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Translation of Psalm 37<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69,70],"tags":[71],"class_list":["post-497","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-poetry","category-translation","tag-psalms","has-excerpt"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.homedns.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.homedns.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.homedns.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.homedns.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.homedns.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=497"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.homedns.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1464,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.homedns.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497\/revisions\/1464"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.homedns.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=497"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.homedns.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=497"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.homedns.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
