Psalm 37:1-8
Of David.
1
aDo not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong;
2
for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.
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 the desires of your heart.
5
Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:
6
He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.
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 turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil.
