Worries and Frets

Psalm 37:1–40 (KJV)

1    Fret not thyself because of evildoers, Neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

2    For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb.

3    Trust in the Lord, and do good; So shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

4    Delight thyself also in the Lord; And he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

5    Commit thy way unto the Lord; Trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

6    And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, And thy judgment as the noonday.

7    Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, Because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

8    Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: Fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

9    For evildoers shall be cut off: But those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.

10  For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: Yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

11  But the meek shall inherit the earth; And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

Psalm 81:10 (KJV)

10  I am the Lord thy God, Which brought thee out of the land of Egypt:

          Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
