Thank you for stopping by Amelia and your sweet comment - blessings to you :)<br />Psalm 37<br />Of David.<br />1 Do not fret because of those who are evil<br /> or be envious of those who do wrong;<br />2 for like the grass they will soon wither,<br /> like green plants they will soon die away.<br /><br />3 Trust in the Lord and do good;<br /> dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.<br />4 Take delight in the Lord,<br /> and he will give you the desires of your heart.<br /><br />5 Commit your way to the Lord;<br /> trust in him and he will do this:<br />6 He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,<br /> your vindication like the noonday sun.<br /><br />7 Be still before the Lord<br /> and wait patiently for him;<br />do not fret when people succeed in their ways,<br /> when they carry out their wicked schemes.<br /><br />8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;<br /> do not fret—it leads only to evil.<br />9 For those who are evil will be destroyed,<br /> but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.<br /><br />10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more;<br /> though you look for them, they will not be found.<br />11 But the meek will inherit the land<br /> and enjoy peace and prosperity.<br /><br />12 The wicked plot against the righteous<br /> and gnash their teeth at them;<br />13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked,<br /> for he knows their day is coming.<br /><br />14 The wicked draw the sword<br /> and bend the bow<br />to bring down the poor and needy,<br /> to slay those whose ways are upright.<br />15 But their swords will pierce their own hearts,<br /> and their bows will be broken.<br /><br />16 Better the little that the righteous have<br /> than the wealth of many wicked;<br />17 for the power of the wicked will be broken,<br /> but the Lord upholds the righteous.<br /><br />18 The blameless spend their days under the Lord’s care,<br /> and their inheritance will endure forever.<br />19 In times of disaster they will not wither;<br /> in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.<br /><br />20 But the wicked will perish:<br /> Though the Lord’s enemies are like the flowers of the field,<br /> they will be consumed, they will go up in smoke.<br /><br />21 The wicked borrow and do not repay,<br /> but the righteous give generously;<br />22 those the Lord blesses will inherit the land,<br /> but those he curses will be destroyed.<br /><br />23 The Lord makes firm the steps<br /> of the one who delights in him;<br />24 though he may stumble, he will not fall,<br /> for the Lord upholds him with his hand.<br /><br />25 I was young and now I am old,<br /> yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken<br /> or their children begging bread.<br />26 They are always generous and lend freely;<br /> their children will be a blessing.[b]<br /><br />27 Turn from evil and do good;<br /> then you will dwell in the land forever.<br />28 For the Lord loves the just<br /> and will not forsake his faithful ones.<br /><br />Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed[c];<br /> the offspring of the wicked will perish.<br />29 The righteous will inherit the land<br /> and dwell in it forever.<br /><br />30 The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom,<br /> and their tongues speak what is just.<br />31 The law of their God is in their hearts;<br /> their feet do not slip.<br /><br />32 The wicked lie in wait for the righteous,<br /> intent on putting them to death;<br />33 but the Lord will not leave them in the power of the wicked<br /> or let them be condemned when brought to trial.<br /><br />34 Hope in the Lord<br /> and keep his way.<br />He will exalt you to inherit the land;<br /> when the wicked are destroyed, you will see it.<br /><br />35 I have seen a wicked and ruthless man<br /> flourishing like a luxuriant native tree,<br />36 but he soon passed away and was no more;<br /> though I looked for him, he could not be found.<br /><br />37 Consider the blameless, observe the upright;<br /> a future awaits those who seek peace.[d]<br />38 But all sinners will be destroyed;<br /> there will be no future[e] for the wicked.<br /><br />39 The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord;<br /> he is their stronghold in time of trouble.<br />40 The Lord helps them and delivers them;<br /> he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,<br /> because they take refuge in him.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089908106331409725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849778772100810529.post-88057320207091537982021-01-21T05:51:54.218-08:002021-01-21T05:51:54.218-08:00I think of Psalms 37, to consider the perfect man,...I think of Psalms 37, to consider the perfect man, the upright. Lately I've remembered those words from Psalms 37 as I prayerfully express myself. I do not want to do harm in even speaking truth. <br /><br />Yes, let's be blameless, a very important thing to always consider. Take care now, love, AmeliaAmeliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093408888499365118noreply@blogger.com
