  Speaker 1: Psalm thirty seven by David. Don't fret because of evil doers.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Neither be envious against those who work on righteousness, for
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: they shall soon be cut down like the grass and
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: wither like the green herb. Trust in Yahweh and do good,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Also delight
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: in him, and he will do this. He will make
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: your righteousness go forth as delight, and your justice as
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the noonday sun. Rest in Yahweh and wait patiently for him.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Don't fret because of him who prospers in his way,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: because of the man who makes wicked plots happen, cease
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: from anger and forsake wrath. Don't fret. It leads only
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: to evil doing, for evil doers shall be cut off.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: But those who wait for Yahweh shall inherit the land
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: for yet a little while, and the wicked will be
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: no more. Yes, you look for his place, he isn't there.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: But the humble shall inherit the land and shall delight
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: themselves in the abundance of peace. The wicked plots against
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the just, and gnashes in him with his teeth. The
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Lord will laugh at him, for he sees that his
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: day is coming. The wicked have drawn out the sword
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and have bent their bow to cast down the poor
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: and needy, to kill those who are upright in the way.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Their swords shall enter into their own heart. Their bows
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: shall be broken. Better is the little that the righteous
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: has than the abundance of many wicked. For the arms
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: of the wicked shall be broken. But Yahweh upholds the righteous.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Yahweh knows the days of the perfect. Their inheritance shall
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: be forever. They shall not be put to shame. In
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: the time of evil, in the days of famine, they
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: shall be satisfied. But the wicked shall perish. The enemies
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: of Yahweh shall be like the beauty of the fields.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: They will vanish, vanish like smoke. The wicked borrow and
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: don't pay back. But the righteous give generous life. For
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: such as are blessed by Him shall inherit the land.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: A man's goings are established by Yahweh. He delights in
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: his way. Though he stumble, he shall not fall, for
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Yahweh holds him up with his hand. I have been
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: young and now am old. Yet I have not seen
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread all
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: day long. He deals graciously in lends. His seed is blest.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Depart from evil and do good. Lives securely forever. For
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Yahweh loves justice and does not forsake his saints. They
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: are preserved forever. But the children of the wicked shall
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land and
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: live in it forever. The mouth of the righteous talks
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: of wisdom. His tongue speaks justice. The law of God
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: is in his heart. None of his steps shall slide.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: The wicked watches the righteous and seeks to kill him.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Yahweh will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: him when he is judged. Wait for ye, Yahweh, and
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: see it. I have seen the wicked in great power,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: But he passed away, And behold he was not. Yes,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I sought him, but he could not be found. Mark
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the perfect man and see the upright, for there is
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: a future for the man of peace. As for transgressors,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: they shall be destroyed together. The future of the wicked
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: shall be cut off. But the salvation of the righteous
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: is from Yahweh. He is their stronghold. In the time
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: of trouble. Yahweh helps them and rescues them. He rescues
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: them from the wicked and saves them because they have
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: taken refuge in Him.
