Psalm 37a

Psalm 37:1-12

CMD

Do not fret over evil men
Or envy those who're wrong;
Just like the grass they'll soon be gone,
Green plants, they won't last long.
Trust in the Lord and do what's right;
Graze safe, dwell in the land
And in the Lord yourself delight,
He'll give what you demand.

So to the Lord commit your way,
Trust in him, this he'll do:
Your good make shine as break of day,
Your cause, as noon, prove true.
Be still before the Lord and wait;
When men succeed, don't fret,
When wicked schemes they operate,
Leave wrath – it's vain - don't fret.

For evil men he will destroy,
But those who place their cares
Into the Lord's hands will enjoy
The land, it will be theirs.
A little while, no more they'll be;
No, sinners won't be found.
The meek, the land's their legacy,
They'll know a peace profound.
