Psalms 37:1-6

CEB

NIV

1 Don't get upset over evildoers; don't be jealous of those who do wrong,
1 Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong;
2 because they will fade fast, like grass; they will wither like green vegetables.
2 for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.
3 Trust the LORD and do good; live in the land, and farm faithfulness.
3 Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Enjoy the LORD, and he will give what your heart asks.
4 Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the LORD! Trust him! He will act
5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:
6 and will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, your justice like high noon.
6 He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.
