Psalm 37 Fret Not for Those Who Do Wrong Things
1. Fret not for those who do wrong things,
Who from God's path have strayed;
For they shall wither like the grass,
And like the green grass fade.
2. Trust God, do good, dwell in the land,
And let your wealth increase;
Take your delight in God and then
Your heart will find true peace.
3. Commit your journey to the Lord;
Trust God, it will be done;
Your righteousness will then shine forth
As clear as noon-day sun.
4. Be still before the Lord and wait
Most patiently in deed;
Fret not for those who increase wealth,
Whose evil schemes succeed.
5. Let neither rage nor anger gain
In you the upper hand,
For those who wait upon the Lord
Shall soon possess the land.
