Psalm 37:1
Douay-Rheims
A psalm for David himself. Be not emulous of evildoers; nor envy them that work iniquity.
Rashi
JewishDo not compete with the evildoers He reproves Israel that they should not compete with the success of the evildoers to do as their deeds, as (in Jer. 12:5): “how will you compete (תתחרה) with horses,” to run as they run, a atir in Old French, to compete. do not envy those who commit injustice to commit injustice like them.
