Psalm 37

Fret not thyself because of the ungodly  *

neither be thou envious against the evil-doers.

For they shall soon be cut down like the grass *

and be withered even as the green herb.

Put thou thy trust in the Lord, and be doing good *

dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

Delight thou in the Lord *

and he shall give thee thy heart’s desire.

Commit thy way unto the Lord, and put thy trust in him *

and he shall bring it to pass.

He shall make thy righteousness as clear as the light *

and thy just dealing as the noon-day.

Hold thee still in the Lord, and abide patiently upon him *

but grieve not thyself at him whose way doth prosper, against the man that doeth after evil counsels.

Leave off from wrath, and let go displeasure *

fret not thyself, else shalt thou be moved to do evil.

Wicked doers shall be rooted out *

and they that patiently abide the Lord, those shall inherit the land.

Yet a little while, and the ungodly shall be clean gone *

thou shalt look after his place, and he shall be away.

But the meek-spirited shall possess the earth *

and shall be refreshed in the multitude of peace.
