Don't worry about the wicked
or envy those who do wrong.
For like grass, they soon fade away.
Like spring flowers, they soon wither.
Trust in the Lord and do good.
Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.
Take delight in the Lord,
and He will give you your heart's desires.
Commit everything you do to the Lord.
Trust Him and He will help you.
He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn,
and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.
Be still in the presence of the Lord,
and wait patiently for Him to act.
Don't worry about evil people who prosper
or fret about their wicked schemes.
Stop being angry!
Turn from your rage!
Do not lose your temper-
it only leads to harm.
For the wicked will be destroyed,
but those who trust in the Lord will possess the land.
The Lord directs the steps of the godly.
He delights in every detail of their lives.
Though they stumble, they will never fall,
for the Lord holds them by the hand.
Turn from evil and do good,
and you will live in the land forever.
For the Lord loves justice,
and he will never abandon the godly.
Psalm 37

well put
go the book of psalms.
This could easily be put into a song...unless it already has been.
What version is this from?
37:4 has always been my favorite line:Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. NOT what YOU want, but what HIS desires are for you. He will give you the desires! THATS the tricky part.
Love you Alanna!
