Psalms 37:2-11 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

2. For, even like unto the grass,soon be cut down shall they;And, like the green and tender herb,they wither shall away.

3. Set thou thy trust upon the Lord,and be thou doing good;And so thou in the land shalt dwell,and verily have food.

4. Delight thyself in God; he'll givethine heart's desire to thee.

5. Thy way to God commit, him trust,it bring to pass shall he.

6. And, like unto the light, he shallthy righteousness display;And he thy judgment shall bring forthlike noon-tide of the day.

7. Rest in the Lord, and patientlywait for him: do not frefFor him who, prosp'ring in his way,success in sin doth get.

8. Do thou from anger cease, and wrathsee thou forsake also:Fret not thyself in any wise,that evil thou should'st do.

9. For those that evil doers areshall be cut off and fall:But those that wait upon the Lordthe earth inherit shall.

10. For yet a little while, and thenthe wicked shall not be;His place thou shalt consider well,but it thou shalt not see.

11. But by inheritance the earththe meek ones shall possess:They also shall delight themselvesin an abundant peace.
