Davidic[a]

Patiently Trust in God

37 Don’t be angry because of those who do evil,
    do not be jealous because of those who commit iniquity.
Indeed, they soon will wither like grass,
    and like green herbs they will fade away.

Trust in the Lord and do good.
    Dwell in the land and feed on faithfulness.
