Psalms 37:1-9

1Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

2For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

3Trust in Yhwh, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.1

4Delight thyself also in Yhwh; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

5Commit thy way unto Yhwh; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.2

6And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

7Rest in Yhwh, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.3

8Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

9For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon Yhwh, they shall inherit the earth.
