Meaning of Psalm 37
Psalm 37 calls us not to envy wrongdoing or despair when evil appears to prosper. It urges trust in the Lord, patient endurance, and a life of goodness and generosity.
Psalm 37
Do not be troubled because of evildoers or envy those who do wrong; they fade like grass. Trust in the Lord and do good. Delight in the Lord, commit your way to him, and wait patiently.
Leave anger and abandon wrath. The meek will inherit the land and delight in abundant peace.
Better is the little of the righteous than the wealth of many who do evil. The Lord sustains the just, guides their steps, and holds their hand when they fall.
Turn away from evil and do good. The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord; he is their strength in trouble and helps those who take refuge in him.
