Psalm 37
Do not vie with the wicked
: or envy those that do wrong;
For they will soon wither like the grass
: and fade away like the green leaf.
Trust in the Lord and do good
: and you shall dwell in the land and feed in safe pastures.
Let the Lord be your delight
: and he will grant you your heart’s desire.
Commit your way to the Lord
: trust him, and he will act.
He will make your righteousness shine as clear as the light
: and your innocence as the noonday.
Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for him
: do not be vexed when a man prospers,
when he puts his evil purposes to work.
Let go of anger and abandon wrath
: let not envy move you to do evil.
For the wicked shall be cut down
: but those who wait for the Lord shall possess the land.
