Psalm 37

Fret not yourself because of the ungodly, *

neither be envious of those who are evildoers.

For they shall soon be dried up like the grass, *

and be withered even as the green herb.

Put your trust in the Lord, and do good; *

dwell in the land, and surely you shall be fed.

Delight yourself in the Lord, *

and he shall give you your heart’s desire.

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

and he shall bring it to pass.

He shall make your righteousness as clear as the light *

and your just dealing as the noonday.

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; *

do not grieve yourself over the one whose way prospers, over the one who carries out evil counsels.

Refrain from wrath, and let go of anger; *

fret not yourself, lest you be moved to do evil.

For evildoers shall be rooted out, *

but those who wait patiently for the Lord, they shall inherit the land.

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

you shall look for their place, and they shall not be there.

But the meek-spirited shall possess the land *

and shall be refreshed with an abundance of peace.
