Psalms 37:1-9 - ESV Online

PSALMS 37:1-9

He Will Not Forsake His Saints

Of David.
37:1

Fret not yourself because of evildoers;

be not envious of wrongdoers! 2

For they will soon fade like the grass

and wither like the green herb.
3

Trust in the Lord, and do good;

dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. 4

Delight yourself in the Lord,

and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5

Commit your way to the Lord;

trust in him, and he will act. 6

He will bring forth your righteousness as the light,

and your justice as the noonday.
7

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;

fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way,

over the man who carries out evil devices!
8

Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath!

Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil. 9

For the evildoers shall be cut off,

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