1
Do not be angry because of the wrongdoers, or have envy of the workers of evil.
2
For they will quickly be cut down like grass, and become dry like the green plants.
3
Have faith in the Lord, and do good; be at rest in the land, and go after righteousness.
4
So will your delight be in the Lord, and he will give you your heart's desires.
5
Put your life in the hands of the Lord; have faith in him and he will do it.
6
And he will make your righteousness be seen like the light, and your cause like the shining of the sun.
7
Take your rest in the Lord, waiting quietly for him; do not be angry because of the man who does well in his evil ways, and gives effect to his bad designs.

Psalms 37:1-7 Meaning and Commentary
INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 37
\\<<[A Psalm] of David>>\\. This psalm, it is very probable, was written at the same time, and upon the same occasion, with the former; and describes the different states of good and bad men; and is full of exhortations, instructions, and advice to the people of God; intermixed with various encouraging promises. A late learned writer {h} thinks it was written for Mephibosheth's consolation under Ziba's calumny. {h} Delaney's Life of King David, vol. 2. p. 219.
