## Psalms 37:1-9 in Context (Verses 1–12 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/psalms/37/1) Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
 
 [2 ](/kjv/psalms/37/2) For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/psalms/37/3) Trust in the LORD, and do good; *so* shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.*
 
 [4 ](/kjv/psalms/37/4) Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/psalms/37/5) Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring *it* to pass.*
 
 [6 ](/kjv/psalms/37/6) And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/psalms/37/7) Rest 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.*
 
 [8 ](/kjv/psalms/37/8) Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/psalms/37/9) For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/psalms/37/10) For yet a little while, and the wicked *shall* not *be:* yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it *shall* not *be*.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/psalms/37/11) But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/psalms/37/12) The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.*
