Psalm 37

A Psalm of David.

    1 Do not fret because of evildoers,
         Be not envious toward wrongdoers.
    2 For they will wither quickly like the grass
         And fade like the green herb.
    3 Trust in the LORD and do good;
         Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.
    4 Delight yourself in the LORD;
         And He will give you the desires of your heart.
    5 Commit your way to the LORD,
         Trust also in Him, and He will do it.
    6 He will bring forth your righteousness as the light
         And your judgment as the noonday.
    7 Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him;
         Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
         Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.
    8 Cease from anger and forsake wrath;
         Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing.
    9 For evildoers will be cut off,
         But those who wait for the LORD, they will inherit the land.
