Psalm 37:1-40
Good and evil
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.
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath. Those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.
The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous give generously.
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.
The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord; he is their stronghold in time of trouble.
It is a collection of the proverbial sayings that the wisdom writers loved and according to which, no matter how things look, the good will prosper, the wicked be punished.
Wherever you look, people are flagrantly disobeying God's law, and getting away with it. Don't e tempted to envy them, says the psalmist. Things are not what they seem.
The wicked are in a far from enviable position. Their time will soon up, but blessing and security await God's people. Go on doing good; be patient: trust God to act.
Why?
Commit my way to the Lord, don't think I am wise, God's way always better than mine.
Wait for the Lord with hope, do not angry or envy the prosper of wicked one, the wicked will be cut off, things are far away what they seem.
How?
Wait for the Lord and keep his way, be patient: trust God to act.
