SCRIPTURE Psalm 37: 1-9
1
Do not fret because of the wicked;
do not be envious of wrongdoers,
2
for they will soon fade like the grass,
and wither like the green herb.
3
Trust in the Lord, and do good;
so you will live in the land, and enjoy security.
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.
6
He will make your vindication shine like the light,
and the justice of your cause like the noonday.
7
Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for him;
do not fret over those who prosper in their way,
over those who carry out evil devices.
8
Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath.
Do not fret—it leads only to evil.
9
For the wicked shall be cut off,
but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.
