Psalms 37:3-13

3 Get insurance with God and do a good deed, settle down and stick to your last.

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

4 Keep company with God, get in on the best.

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

5 Open up before God, keep nothing back; he'll do whatever needs to be done:

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

6 He'll validate your life in the clear light of day and stamp you with approval at high noon.

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

7 Quiet down before God, be prayerful before him. Don't bother with those who climb the ladder, who elbow their way to the top.

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 Bridle your anger, trash your wrath, cool your pipes - it only makes things worse.

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

9 Before long the crooks will be bankrupt; God-investors will soon own the store.

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

10 Before you know it, the wicked will have had it; you'll stare at his once famous place and - nothing!

10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.

11 Down-to-earth people will move in and take over, relishing a huge bonanza.

11 But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy peace and prosperity.

12 Bad guys have it in for the good guys, obsessed with doing them in.

12 The wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them;

13 But God isn't losing any sleep; to him they're a joke with no punch line.

13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming.
