054) Psalm 37

Psalm 37 A Psalm of David.

8.6.8.6

1 Fret not thy self because of those that evil workers be, nor envious be against the men that work iniquity.

2 For like unto the grass they shall be cut down, suddenly: and like unto the tender herb they withering shall dye.

3 Upon the Lord put thou thy trust, and be thou doing good, so shalt thou dwell within the land, and sure thou shalt have food.

4 See that thou set thy hearts delight also upon the Lord, and the desirers of thy heart to thee he will afford.

5 Trust in the Lord: and he’ll it work, to him commit thy way.

6 As light thy justice he’ll bring forth, thy judgment as noon day.

7 Rest in Jehovah, and for him with patience do thou stay: fret not thy self because of him who prospers in his way, Nor at the man, who brings to pass the crafts he doth devise.

8 Cease ire, and wrath leave: to do ill thy self fret in no wise.

9 For evil doers shall be made by cutting down to fall: but those that wait upon the Lord, the land inherit shall.
