詩篇 37
Japanese Living Bible
37 悪者をうらやんではいけません。
2 しょせん、草のようにあっという間に枯れ、
消え失せる存在なのですから。
3 主に信頼して人を思いやり、親切にしなさい。
そうすれば、この地に安住し、
成功を収めることもできます。
4 主を喜びとしなさい。
主は心の願いをみな、かなえてくださいます。
5 自分のしようとすることをみな、主にゆだねなさい。
信頼する者を、主は助けてくださいます。
6 あなたの潔白は、だれの目にも明らかになります。
神は、真昼の太陽のように
まぶしい正義の光をあてて、弁護してくださいます。
7 すべてを主にゆだねて、安心しなさい。
神が立ち上がるまで、忍耐して待つのです。
悪者どもの繁栄ぶりをねたんではいけません。
8 怒るのをやめ、憤りを捨てなさい。
くよくよと思い悩んではいけません。
自分に害をもたらすだけです。
9 悪者は滅ぼされますが、
神に信頼する者には祝福が降り注ぎます。
10 もうしばらくすれば、
見ようとしても、悪者の姿は見つけられなくなります。
11 一方、神の前に謙遜な人は、
ありとあらゆる祝福を受け、
心地よい平安に身をゆだねるのです。
12-13 神は、ご自分を信じる人を陥れようと企む者を
笑われます。
彼らのさばかれる日が近いのをご存じだからです。
14 悪者どもは貧しい者のいのちをつけねらい、
正義の人を殺そうと身構えています。
15 しかし、彼らの剣は自分の心臓を突き刺し、
その武器はみな砕かれます。
16 不正な手段で金持ちになるより、
わずかな持ち物に甘んじて、
神を敬って過ごすほうがまさっています。
17 悪者の腕はへし折られますが、
罪を赦された人は主に守られて暮らせるからです。
18 主は毎日、神を敬う人の善行をごらんになり、
永遠のほうびをお与えになるのです。
19 彼らは逆境のときにも、神に守られています。
ききんの年にも飽き足りることができるのです。
20 しかし、悪者は滅びます。
主に敵対する者は草のようにしおれ、
煙のようにはかないのです。
21 悪者は借りても、返済できません。
しかし、正しい人は施しができるまでになります。
22 主に祝福された人はこの地上を相続しますが、
のろわれた者は滅びます。
23 正しい人は、主の導きに従って歩みます。
主はその一歩一歩をお喜びになるのです。
24 たとえ倒れても、それで終わりではありません。
主がしっかり支えておられるからです。
25 以前は若かった私も、今では年をとりました。
しかしこの間、神がご自身を愛する者を
お見捨てになったり、
神を敬う人の子どもを空腹のまま
放っておかれたりする光景を、
一度も目にしたことはありません。
26 むしろ、神を敬う人は
惜しげもなく人々にふるまい、金を貸しており、
その祝福が子どもにまで及ぶのを見ました。
27 永遠の住まいに行きたいと願うなら、
卑劣な悪の道を捨て、正しい生活を送りなさい。
28 主は正義と公平を愛されるからです。
神はご自分の民を決してお見捨てになりません。
その人々は永遠に安全を保証されているのです。
反対に、悪の道を慕う者は滅びます。
29 神を敬う人はこの地に植えられて根を張り、
永遠に住むのです。
30-31 神を敬う人は正しく公平で、
善悪をわきまえているため、
すぐれた相談役を務めます。
32 悪者どもは神を敬う人をつけねらい、
何とか訴える口実を見つけ、
死罪に追い込もうと目を光らせます。
33 しかし、悪者どもの思いどおりになるのを、
主が見過ごされるはずがありません。
神を敬う人は、
法廷に引き出されるようなことがあっても、
有罪の判決を受けることはありません。
34 主が立ち上がってくださる時を、
じっと忍耐して待ちなさい。
そして、神の道をしっかり歩んで行くのです。
やがて、神が祝福をあふれるばかりに注ぎ、
あなたの名声を高めてくださる時がきます。
しかも、あなたは悪者が滅ぼされるのを
目の当たりにするのです。
35-36 この光景は私自身も目にしました。
そびえ立つレバノン杉のように、
おごり高ぶった悪者が、
次の瞬間には影も形もなくなっていたのです。
ひとみをこらして捜しましたが、
その姿は消え失せていました。
37 それに引き替え、正しい人はどうでしょう。
非の打ちどころもなく高潔で、
平和を愛するその人の未来は美しく輝いています。
すばらしい晩年が待っているのです。
38 しかし、悪者は滅ぼされ、子孫は根絶やしにされます。
39 神を敬う人は救われます。
苦しみのとき、主は救いとなり、
とりでとなってくださるのです。
40 主は、ご自分に頼る者を助け、
悪者の策略から守ってくださいます。
Psalm 37
New International Version
Psalm 37
New International Version
Psalm 37[a]
Of David.
1 Do not fret because of those who are evil
or be envious(A) of those who do wrong;(B)
2 for like the grass they will soon wither,(C)
like green plants they will soon die away.(D)
3 Trust in the Lord and do good;
dwell in the land(E) and enjoy safe pasture.(F)
4 Take delight(G) in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.(H)
5 Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him(I) and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteous reward(J) shine like the dawn,(K)
your vindication like the noonday sun.
7 Be still(L) before the Lord
and wait patiently(M) for him;
do not fret(N) when people succeed in their ways,(O)
when they carry out their wicked schemes.(P)
8 Refrain from anger(Q) and turn from wrath;
do not fret(R)—it leads only to evil.
9 For those who are evil will be destroyed,(S)
but those who hope(T) in the Lord will inherit the land.(U)
10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more;(V)
though you look for them, they will not be found.
11 But the meek will inherit the land(W)
and enjoy peace and prosperity.(X)
12 The wicked plot(Y) against the righteous
and gnash their teeth(Z) at them;
13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
for he knows their day is coming.(AA)
14 The wicked draw the sword(AB)
and bend the bow(AC)
to bring down the poor and needy,(AD)
to slay those whose ways are upright.
15 But their swords will pierce their own hearts,(AE)
and their bows will be broken.(AF)
16 Better the little that the righteous have
than the wealth(AG) of many wicked;
17 for the power of the wicked will be broken,(AH)
but the Lord upholds(AI) the righteous.
18 The blameless spend their days under the Lord’s care,(AJ)
and their inheritance will endure forever.(AK)
19 In times of disaster they will not wither;
in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.
20 But the wicked will perish:(AL)
Though the Lord’s enemies are like the flowers of the field,
they will be consumed, they will go up in smoke.(AM)
21 The wicked borrow and do not repay,
but the righteous give generously;(AN)
22 those the Lord blesses will inherit the land,
but those he curses(AO) will be destroyed.(AP)
23 The Lord makes firm the steps(AQ)
of the one who delights(AR) in him;
24 though he may stumble, he will not fall,(AS)
for the Lord upholds(AT) him with his hand.
25 I was young and now I am old,
yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken(AU)
or their children begging(AV) bread.
26 They are always generous and lend freely;(AW)
their children will be a blessing.[b](AX)
27 Turn from evil and do good;(AY)
then you will dwell in the land forever.(AZ)
28 For the Lord loves the just
and will not forsake his faithful ones.(BA)
Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed[c];
the offspring of the wicked will perish.(BB)
29 The righteous will inherit the land(BC)
and dwell in it forever.(BD)
30 The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom,(BE)
and their tongues speak what is just.
31 The law of their God is in their hearts;(BF)
their feet do not slip.(BG)
32 The wicked lie in wait(BH) for the righteous,(BI)
intent on putting them to death;
33 but the Lord will not leave them in the power of the wicked
or let them be condemned(BJ) when brought to trial.(BK)
34 Hope in the Lord(BL)
and keep his way.(BM)
He will exalt you to inherit the land;
when the wicked are destroyed,(BN) you will see(BO) it.
35 I have seen a wicked and ruthless man
flourishing(BP) like a luxuriant native tree,
36 but he soon passed away and was no more;
though I looked for him, he could not be found.(BQ)

King James Version
Psalm 37
King James Version
37 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4 Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
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 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.
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 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
14 The 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.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord upholdeth the righteous.
18 The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 But 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.
21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.
22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.
25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
28 For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
33 The Lord will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
34 Wait 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.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
40 And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
