Psalm 37 (Delight Yourself in the Lord) Lyrics

Don't worry about evildoers

Don't be envious of those who do wrong

For they will soon fade like the grass

And they will wither like a flower without rain

Trust in the LORD and do good

Dwell in the land and feast on the truth

Delight yourself in Yahweh

And He will give you the desires of your heart

Commit your way to the LORD

Trust in Him, and He will act

He will bring your vindication like the dawn

And your justice like the noonday

Be still before the LORD and wait with expectation

Delight yourself in the LORD 

And He'll give you the desires of your heart

The desires of your heart

Delight yourself in the LORD 

And He'll give you the desires of your heart

The desires of your heart

Don't worry about those who prosper

Nor the one who carries out evil schemes

Refrain from anger and flee from wrath

And do not worry, for it only leads to sin

The wicked will be cut off

But those who wait for the LORD

Will inherit and receive the land

But in just a little while

The wicked will be no more

Though you look closely at his place, he won't be there

Delight yourself in the LORD 

And He'll give you the desires of your heart

The desires of your heart

Delight yourself in the LORD 

And He'll give you the desires of your heart

The desires of your heart

O, the meek will inherit the land

And delight themselves in abundant peace

O, the meek will inherit the land

And delight themselves in abundant peace

The wicked plots against the just

And gnashes his teeth at him

But the LORD laughs at the wicked

For He sees that his day is near

The wicked draw the sword

And bend their bow to bring down the poor

To slay those whose way is right

But their sword shall enter into their own heart

And their bow shall be broken

Better is the little that the righteous have

Than the riches of many wicked

For the arms of the wicked shall be broken

But the LORD upholds the just

And day by day the LORD watches over His saints

And their inheritance is forever

They will not be ashamed when the dark trials come

In the famine they will be fed

The will not be ashamed when tragedy comes

In the famine they will be fed

They will be fed

They will be fed

They will be fed

They will be fed

But the wicked will pass away

The enemies of the LORD are like the glory of the meadows

They're here, then one day they're gone

They vanish into nothingness

Like smoke, they disappear

And no trace of them are left

Delight yourself in the LORD 

And He'll give you the desires of your heart

The desires of your heart

Delight yourself in the LORD 

And He'll give you the desires of your heart

The desires of your heart

The wicked borrow, but do not pay back

But the righteous give and give and give

Those blessed by God will receive the land

But those cursed by Him will be cut off

The steps of man are made sure

By the LORD when He delights in his way

Though he fall, he will not be ruined

For the LORD is the one who holds him up

I have been young, and now and am old

I haven't seen His saints disowned

Nor seen His children begging for a scrap of bread

Always he is gracious and giving

And his children are a blessing for generations

Turn yourself away from evil and do good

And you will dwell forever

For Yahweh loves justice, He will not forsake His saints

They're preserved forever

But the seed of the wicked shall not prosper

The righteous will receive the land

And they will dwell upon it forever and ever

Their inheritance is forever

The mouth of the righteous pours out wisdom

His tongue declares justice

The law of his God is in his heart

His steps do not slip

They do not slip

They will no slip

They do not slip

They will no slip

The wicked watch for the righteous

And seek a way to take him down

But the LORD will not abandon him to his power

Nor let him be condemned when he is brought to trial

No, the Lord will deliver him

Wait for the LORD

Keep His way

And He will exalt you

To inherit the land

And you will look on

When the wicked are cut off

I have seen a wicked, ruthless man

Prospering like a laurel tree

But he passed away, and was no more

When I looked for him, he could not be seen

Mark the blameless and behold the just

There's a future for the man of peace

But the wicked soon will be destroyed

His future suddenly will cease

The salvation of the saints

Is from the LORD, their stronghold

In the time of trouble, He rescues them

Because they trust in Him alone

The salvation of the saints

Is from the LORD, their stronghold

In the time of trouble, He rescues them

Because they trust in Him alone

Because they trust in Him alone
