Psalms 37: 1-13

Do not fret because of evil men
or be envious of those who do wrong
for like the grass they will soon wither
like green plants they will soon die away
--
Trust in the Lord and do good
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture
Delight yourself in the Lord
and He will give you the desires of your heart
--
Commit your way to the Lord
trust in Him and He will do this
He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun
--
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him
do not fret when men succeed in their ways
when they carry out their wicked schemes.
--
Refrain from anger and turn wrath
do not fret-it leads only to evil
For evil men will be cut off
but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land
--
A little while, and the wicked will be no more
though you look for them, they will not be found
But the meek will inherit the land
and enjoy great peace
--
The wicked plot against the righteous
and gnash their teeth at them
but the Lord laughs at the wicked
for He knows their day is coming
