Psalm 37:1–11

1  uFret not yourself because of evildoers;

be not venvious of wrongdoers!

2  For they will soon wfade like xthe grass

and wither ylike the green herb.

3  zTrust in the Lord, and do good;

adwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.2

4  bDelight yourself in the Lord,

and he will cgive you the desires of your heart.

5  dCommit your way to the Lord;

ztrust in him, and he will act.

6  eHe will bring forth your righteousness as the light,

and your justice as fthe noonday.

7  gBe still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;

hfret not yourself over the one who iprospers in his way,

over the man who carries out evil devices!

8  jRefrain from anger, and forsake wrath!

hFret not yourself; it tends only to evil.

9  kFor the evildoers shall be cut off,

but those who wait for the Lord shall linherit the land.

10  In mjust a little while, the wicked will be no more;

though you look carefully at nhis place, he will not be there.

11  But othe meek shall inherit the land

and delight themselves in pabundant peace.
