Psalm 37:1–7

The Destiny of the Wicked and of the Goodj

37 Don’t be worried on account of the wicked;

don’t be jealous of those who do wrong.

2 They will soon disappear like grass that dries up;

they will die like plants that wither.

3 Trust in the Lord and do good;

live in the land and be safe.

4 Seek your happiness in the Lord,

and he will give you your heart’s desire.

5 Give yourself to the Lord;

trust in him, and he will help you;

6 he will make your righteousness shine like the noonday sun.

7 Be patient and wait for the Lord to act;

don’t be worried about those who prosper

or those who succeed in their evil plans.
