1
<> Don't fret because of evil-doers, Neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.
2
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither like the green herb.
3
Trust in the LORD, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.
4
Also delight yourself in the LORD, And he will give you the desires of your heart.
5
Commit your way to the LORD. Trust also in him, and he will do this:
6
He will make your righteousness go forth as the light, And your justice as the noon day sun.
7
Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him. Don't fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.

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.
