Psalms 37:1-11
11Do not fret over those who do evil;do not envy those who do wrong.2For they wither quickly like grassand wilt like tender plants.
3Trust in the LORD and do good;dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.4Delight yourself in the LORD,and He will give you the desires of your heart.
5Commit your way to the LORD;trust in Him, and He will do it.6He will bring forth your righteousness like the dawn,your justice like the noonday sun.
7Be still before the LORDand wait patiently for Him;do not fret when men prosper in their ways,when they carry out wicked schemes.
8Refrain from anger and abandon wrath;do not fret—it can only bring harm.9For the evildoers will be cut off,but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.
10Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more;though you look for them, they will not be found.11But the meek will inherit the land2and delight in abundant prosperity.
