Psalms 37:1-9

1 Do not be agitated by evildoers; do not envy those who do wrong.

1 Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong;

2 For they wither quickly like grass and wilt like tender green plants.

2 for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.

3 Trust in the Lord and do what is good; dwell in the land and live securely.

3 Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

4 Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you your heart's desires.

4 Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

5 Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him, and He will act,

5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:

6 making your righteousness shine like the dawn, your justice like the noonday.

6 He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.

7 Be silent before the Lord and wait expectantly for Him; do not be agitated by one who prospers in his way, by the man who carries out evil plans.

7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.

8 Refrain from anger and give up [your] rage; do not be agitated-it can only bring harm.

8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil.

9 For evildoers will be destroyed, but those who put their hope in the Lord will inherit the land.

9 For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.
