Scripture:

Psalm 37:1-40
Of David.

[1] Do not fret because of evil men
or be envious of those who do wrong;
[2] for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.
[3] Trust in the Lord and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
[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 do this:
[6] He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
[7] 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.
[8] Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
do not fret--it leads only to evil.
[9] For evil men will be cut off,
but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.
[10] A little while, and the wicked will be no more;
though you look for them, they will not be found.
[11] But the meek will inherit the land
and enjoy great peace.
[12] The wicked plot against the righteous
and gnash their teeth at them;
[13] but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
for he knows their day is coming.
[14] The wicked draw the sword
and bend the bow
to bring down the poor and needy,
to slay those whose ways are upright.
[15] But their swords will pierce their own hearts,
and their bows will be broken.
[16] Better the little that the righteous have
than the wealth of many wicked;
[17] for the power of the wicked will be broken,
but the Lord upholds the righteous.
[18] The days of the blameless are known to the Lord,
and their inheritance will endure forever.
[19] In times of disaster they will not wither;
in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.
[20] But the wicked will perish:
The Lord's enemies will be like the beauty of the fields,
they will vanish--vanish like smoke.
[21] The wicked borrow and do not repay,
but the righteous give generously;
[22] those the Lord blesses will inherit the land,
but those he curses will be cut off.
[23] If the Lord delights in a man's way,
he makes his steps firm;
[24] though he stumble, he will not fall,
for the Lord upholds him with his hand.
[25] I was young and now I am old,
yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken
or their children begging bread.
[26] They are always generous and lend freely;
their children will be blessed.
[27] Turn from evil and do good;
then you will dwell in the land forever.
[28] For the Lord loves the just
and will not forsake his faithful ones.
They will be protected forever,
but the offspring of the wicked will be cut off;
[29] the righteous will inherit the land
and dwell in it forever.
[30] The mouth of the righteous man utters wisdom,
and his tongue speaks what is just.
[31] The law of his God is in his heart;
his feet do not slip.
[32] The wicked lie in wait for the righteous,
seeking their very lives;
[33] but the Lord will not leave them in their power
or let them be condemned when brought to trial.
[34] Wait for the Lord and keep his way.
He will exalt you to inherit the land;
when the wicked are cut off, you will see it.
[35] I have seen a wicked and ruthless man
flourishing like a green tree in its native soil,
[36] but he soon passed away and was no more;
though I looked for him, he could not be found.
[37] Consider the blameless, observe the upright;
there is a future for the man of peace.
[38] But all sinners will be destroyed;
the future of the wicked will be cut off.
[39] The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord;
he is their stronghold in time of trouble.
[40] The Lord helps them and delivers them;
he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they take refuge in him.
