Psalms 37:1-9

1Of David. Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of them who do wrong.

2For like the grass they soon wither and fade like a green herb.

3Trust in Adonai and do good. Dwell in the land, feed on faithfulness.

4Delight yourself in Adonai, and He will give you the requests of your heart.

5Commit your way to Adonai. Trust in Him, and He will do it.

6He will bring out your vindication as light, and your cause will shine as noonday.

7Be still before Adonai and wait patiently for Him. Do not fret over one prospering in his way, over one carrying out wicked schemes.

8Put away anger and turn from wrath. Do not fret—it only leads to doing evil.

9For evildoers will be cut off, but those who wait for Adonai— they will inherit the land.
