Psalm 37:1-9; 23-26

Do not fret because of evil men
or be envious of those who do wrong;
For like grass they will soon whither,
like green plants they will soon die away.

Trust in the Lord and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
Delight yourself in the Lord
and He will give you the desires of your heart.

Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in Him and He will do this:
He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret when men succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.

Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
Do not fret- it leads only to evil.
For evil men will be cut off,
but those who hope in the Lord
will inherit the land.

If the Lord delights in a man's way,
He makes his steps firm;
though he stumbles he will not fall,
for the Lord upholds him with His hand.

I was young and now I am old,
yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken
or their children begging bread.
They are always generous and lend freely;
their children will be blessed.
