Psalms 37:1-7

¹A psalm of David. Don't be upset over wicked people, or be jealous of those who do wrong.

²For like grass, they will quickly dry up; like plants, they will soon wither away.

³Trust in the Lord, and do good. Live in the land and feed on faithfulness.

⁴Find your happiness in the Lord, and he will give you what you want the most.

⁵Entrust all that you do to the Lord. Place your confidence in him and he will help you.

⁶He will make your vindication shine like a light, the rightness of your cause like the noonday sun.

⁷Be still in God's presence; wait patiently for him. Don't be upset over people who prosper when they carry out their evil schemes.
