Psalm 37:1–10 | Liturgical Calendar

1

Do not fret yourself because of evildoers; *

do not be jealous of those who do wrong.

2

For they shall soon wither like the grass, *

and like the green grass fade away.

3

Put your trust in the Lord and do good; *

dwell in the land and feed on its riches.

4

Take delight in the Lord, *

and he shall give you your heart’s desire.

5

Commit your way to the Lord and put your trust in him, *

and he will bring it to pass.

6

He will make your righteousness as clear as the light *

and your just dealing as the noonday.

7

Be still before the Lord *

and wait patiently for him.

8

Do not fret yourself over the one who prospers, *

the one who succeeds in evil schemes.

9

Refrain from anger, leave rage alone; *

do not fret yourself; it leads only to evil.

10

For evildoers shall be cut off, *

but those who wait upon the Lord shall possess the land.
