Frends,
Then the Man that calmed the storm said, "Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
And wither as the green herb.
Trust in God and do good;
Dwell in the land , and feed on His faithfulness.
Delight yourself also in God,
And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your Way to God,
Trust also in Him,
And He will bring it to pass.
He shall bring forth your righteousnessas the light,
And your Justice as the noonday.
Rest in God, and wait paitiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
Cease from anger and forsake wrath;
Do not fret- it only causes harm.
For evildoes shall be cut off;
But those who wait on God,
They shall inherit the earth.
For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more;
But the meek shall inherit the earth,
And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
The wicked plots against the just,
And gnashes at him with his teeth.
And God laughs at him,
For He sees that his day is comming.
The wicked have drawn the sword
And have bent their bow,
To cast down the poor and needy,
To slay those who are of upright conduct.
Their sword shall enter their own heart,
And their bows shall be broken.
A little that a righteous man has is better than the riches of many wicked.
But God upholds the righteous.
God knows the days of the upright,
And their inheritance shall be forever.
They shall not be ashamed in the evil time,
And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied
The wicked borrows and does not repay,
But the righteous shows mercy and gives.
Though a good man fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;
For God upholds him with His hand.
I have seen the young and have seen the old,
Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,
Nor his decendants begging bread.
God is ever merciful.
Depart from evil, and do good.
For God loves Justice.
Wait on God
And keep His Way.
And He shall exalt you to inherit the land.
God is your strengh in the time of trouble.
He shall deliver the righteous from the wicked.
Because they Trust in Him."
