Rest In The Lord
Psalm 37
Dwight Armstrong

Fret not thyself unquietly because of evil men;
Nor do not envy bear to those who work iniquity.
For even like the fading grass, they shall be cut down soon;
And like the green and tender herb, they withered shall be.

Rest in the Lord, in patience wait, nor for the wicked fret;
Who prosp'ring in his evil way, success in sin doth get,
For yet a little while and then, the wicked shall not be;
His place thou shalt consider well, but it thou shalt not see.

From anger turn away thyself and also cease from wrath;
Fret not thyself in any wise, it only leads to sin.
For evildoers shall indeed be rooted out and die;
But those who wait upon the Lord, the earth they shall possess.
