Psalms

Psalm 37:5–7

⁵Commit your way to the LORD;

trust in Him, and He will do it.

⁶He will bring forth your righteousness like the dawn,

your justice like the noonday sun.

⁷Be still before the LORD

and wait patiently for Him;

do not fret when men prosper in their ways,

when they carry out wicked schemes.
