37 [a]Do not worry because of evildoers,
Nor be envious toward wrongdoers;
2  For they will wither quickly like the grass,
And fade like the green herb.
3 Trust [rely on and have confidence] in the Lord and do good;
Dwell in the land and feed [securely] on His faithfulness.
4 Delight yourself in the Lord,
And He will give you the desires and petitions of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the Lord;
Trust in Him also and He will do it.
6 He will make your righteousness [your pursuit of right standing with God] like the light,
And your judgment like [the shining of] the noonday [sun].

7 Be still before the Lord; wait patiently for Him and entrust yourself to Him;
Do not fret (whine, agonize) because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.
8 Cease from anger and abandon wrath;
Do not fret; it leads only to evil.
9 For those who do evil will be cut off,
But those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land.
10 For yet a little while and the wicked one will be gone [forever];
Though you look carefully where he used to be, he will not be [found].
11 But the humble will [at last] inherit the land
And will delight themselves in abundant prosperity and peace.
