Popular Bible Verses from Psalms of David 37

Share

Make his commands thy chief delight; And he, thy duty to requite, Shall all thy earnest wishes grant.

In all thy ways trust thou the Lord, And he will needful help afford To perfect ev’ry just design

With quiet mind on God depend, And patiently for him attend; Nor let thy anger fondly rise: Though wicked men with wealth abound, And with success the plots are crown’d, Which they maliciously devise.

Depend on God, and him obey; So thou within the land shalt stay, Secure from danger and from want

The good man’s way is God’s delight, He orders all the steps aright Of him that moves by his command; Though he sometimes may be distress’d, Yet shall he ne’er be quite oppress’d, For God upholds him with his hand.

He’ll make, like light, serene and clear, Thy clouded innocence appear, And as a midday sun to shine.

From anger cease, and wrath forsake; Let no ungovern’d passion make Thy wav’ring heart espouse their crime

From my first youth, till age prevail’d, I never saw the righteous fail’d, Or want o’ertake his num’rous race

THO’ wicked men grow rich or great, Yet let not their successful state Thy anger or thy envy raise
