Psalm 37

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

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

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

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

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

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

Your sense of what is right shall be made bright and clear, and your discernment shall be made as full of light as the noonday of the East (Cf. Pa. XXV: 9).

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