Do not fret because of evil men

or be envious of those who

do wrong;

for like the grass they will soon wither,

like the green plans 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.

-Psalm 37
