By David.
Don’t fret because of evildoers, Psa 37:7Pro 23:17Pro 24:19Pro 3:31Pro 24:1Psa 73:3Gal 5:21Jas 4:5-6
neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, Psa 92:7Psa 90:5-6Jas 1:10-11Job 14:2Psa 37:35-36Job 20:5-91Pe 1:24Psa 73:17-20
and wither like the green herb.
Trust in the LORD, and do good. Jer 17:7-8Mat 6:31-33Psa 62:81Co 15:57-58Psa 34:9-10Luk 22:35Psa 4:5Heb 6:10-12
Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.
Also delight yourself in the LORD, Jhn 15:7Psa 145:19Jhn 15:16Isa 58:141Jn 5:14-15Psa 21:1-2Job 22:261Pe 1:8
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the LORD. Pro 16:31Pe 5:7Php 4:6-7Mat 6:25Psa 55:22Jas 4:15Job 22:28Luk 12:29-30
Trust also in him, and he will do this:
he will make your righteousness shine out like light, Isa 54:17Job 11:17Isa 58:8Mic 7:8-9Mat 13:43Isa 58:10Mal 3:18Psa 31:20
and your justice as the noon day sun.
Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him. Jas 5:7-11Psa 27:14Psa 62:5Heb 10:36-37Lam 3:25-26Pro 20:22Hab 2:3Jer 12:1
Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way,
because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Pro 14:29Pro 16:32Jas 1:19-20Eph 4:31Eph 4:26Jas 3:14-18Job 5:2Col 3:8
Don’t fret; it leads only to evildoing.
For evildoers shall be cut off, Isa 60:21Psa 25:13Pro 2:21Psa 37:29Isa 57:13Psa 37:11-12Psa 55:23Isa 58:14
but those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land.
For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more. Job 24:241Pe 4:7Psa 103:16Psa 107:42-43Psa 37:35-36Heb 10:36-37Job 7:10Psa 52:5
Yes, though you look for his place, he isn’t there.
But the humble shall inherit the land, Mat 5:5Gal 5:22-23Isa 26:3Jas 3:13Psa 119:165Php 4:7Isa 48:181Ti 6:11
and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
The wicked plots against the just, Mic 2:1Psa 35:16Dan 8:12Mat 26:16Psa 31:131Sa 18:211Sa 23:7-92Sa 15:10-12
and gnashes at him with his teeth.
The Lord will laugh at him, Psa 2:4Pro 1:261Sa 26:10Dan 5:26Ezk 21:25Ezk 21:29Jer 50:27Job 18:20
for he sees that his day is coming.
The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, Pro 29:27Psa 11:21Jn 3:12Pro 29:101Sa 24:111Sa 24:17Act 12:11Act 7:52
to cast down the poor and needy,
to kill those who are upright on the path.
Their sword shall enter into their own heart. Psa 7:14-15Psa 35:81Sa 31:42Sa 17:23Hos 1:5Hos 2:18Jer 51:56Psa 46:9
Their bows shall be broken.
Better is a little that the righteous has, Pro 16:8Pro 15:16-171Ti 6:6Pro 13:25Ecc 4:6Pro 3:33Ecc 2:26Mat 6:11
than the abundance of many wicked.
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, Isa 41:10Psa 63:8Psa 145:14Isa 42:1Psa 37:24Psa 119:116-117Psa 51:12Jud 1:24
but the LORD upholds the righteous.
The LORD knows the days of the perfect. Psa 1:6Psa 103:17Rom 6:232Ti 2:191Pe 1:4-5Psa 31:7Psa 49:5Psa 73:24
Their inheritance shall be forever.
They shall not be disappointed in the time of evil. Pro 10:3Psa 33:19Job 5:20-22Isa 33:16Amo 5:13Eph 5:16Ecc 9:12Mic 2:3
In the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
But the wicked shall perish. Psa 68:2Psa 102:3Luk 13:3Deu 33:14-16Jdg 5:312Pe 2:12Gen 19:28Lev 3:3-11
The enemies of the LORD shall be like the beauty of the fields.
They will vanish—
vanish like smoke.
The wicked borrow, and don’t pay back, Heb 13:16Psa 112:5Pro 22:7Luk 6:30Psa 112:9Deu 28:122Co 8:92Co 9:6-15
but the righteous give generously.
For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land. Pro 3:331Co 16:22Gal 3:13Psa 37:9Gal 3:10Job 5:3Mat 25:41Psa 115:15
Those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.
A man’s steps are established by the LORD. Pro 16:9Psa 119:133Pro 4:261Sa 2:9Psa 40:2Psa 121:8Psa 85:13Jer 10:23
He delights in his way.
Though he stumble, he shall not fall, Pro 24:16Psa 145:14Psa 94:18Mic 7:7-8Jhn 10:27-30Luk 22:31-32Psa 40:2Psa 34:19-20
for the LORD holds him up with his hand.
I have been young, and now am old, Heb 13:5Psa 37:28Psa 112:2Psa 25:131Sa 12:222Co 4:9Psa 94:14Psa 71:18
yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,
nor his children begging for bread.
All day long he deals graciously, and lends. Psa 112:5Psa 37:21Mat 5:7Deu 15:8-10Jer 32:39Luk 6:35-38Pro 20:7Psa 112:9
His offspring is blessed.
Depart from evil, and do good. Psa 34:14Pro 16:61Jn 2:16-171Th 5:15Heb 13:162Ti 2:19Tit 2:11-14Heb 13:21
Live securely forever.
For the LORD loves justice, Pro 2:22Psa 11:7Psa 21:10Isa 59:211Pe 1:5Isa 14:20-21Isa 61:8Job 27:14
and doesn’t forsake his saints.
They are preserved forever,
but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.
The righteous shall inherit the land, Pro 2:21Psa 37:92Pe 3:13Psa 37:11Psa 37:18Rev 21:7Deu 30:20Rev 21:3-4
and live in it forever.
The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom. Col 4:6Pro 25:11-13Eph 4:29Pro 15:7Mat 12:35Pro 10:31Pro 10:21Psa 71:15
His tongue speaks justice.
The law of his God is in his heart. Psa 40:8Deu 6:6Isa 51:7Psa 119:11Jer 31:33Psa 37:23Psa 121:3Deu 11:18-20
None of his steps shall slide.
The wicked watch the righteous, Jer 20:10Luk 14:1Luk 19:47-48Luk 20:20Psa 10:8-10Act 9:24Luk 11:54Luk 6:7
and seek to kill him.
The LORD will not leave him in his hand, Psa 109:312Pe 2:9Rom 8:1Rom 8:33-342Ti 4:17Psa 31:7-8Psa 124:6-71Sa 23:26-28
nor condemn him when he is judged.
Wait for the LORD, and keep his way, Psa 27:14Pro 20:22Psa 37:9Mat 24:13Psa 37:7Psa 52:5-6Job 23:10-12Pro 4:25-27
and he will exalt you to inherit the land.
When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
I have seen the wicked in great power, Job 5:3Job 21:7-17Psa 73:3-11Est 5:11Ezk 31:18Ezk 31:6-10Isa 14:14-19Job 8:13-19
spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
But he passed away, and behold, he was not. Psa 37:10Act 12:22-23Exo 15:19Isa 10:16-19Isa 10:33-34Exo 15:9-10Job 20:5-29
Yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.
Mark the perfect man, and see the upright, Isa 32:17Isa 57:1-22Ti 4:6-8Act 7:59-60Job 1:1Job 42:12-17Luk 2:25-29Pro 14:32
for there is a future for the man of peace.
As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together. Pro 14:32Psa 52:52Th 1:8-9Mat 13:49-50Psa 1:4-6Psa 9:17Mat 13:30Mat 25:46
The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD. Psa 9:9Psa 91:15Isa 12:2Psa 3:82Ti 4:17Psa 46:1Eph 2:8Col 1:11
He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
The LORD helps them and rescues them. Isa 31:51Ch 5:20Dan 3:17Dan 6:23Isa 46:4Dan 3:281Jn 5:18Psa 22:4-5
He rescues them from the wicked and saves them,
because they have taken refuge in him.
