The Lord Won'T Forsake His Own -Psalm 37: 1-7
Learn not to fret or envy any evil
for the Lord cares for His own
remember not to envy your haters
the Lord watches what they've sown
Vain is the way of wrongdoers
for they will in no time soon fade
darkened in their minds with folly
all their dependance cut with a blade
The wise know to trust God and His ways
be faithful in their life always to do good
delight oneself in all that is truly God
your heart desires bring home His daily food
Be committed and trust in the Lord
for you'll find your Lord will act
showing the light in His perfect justice
never forsaking His own is a fact
Be patient, be still before His majesty
He will not leave nor forsake you
do not fret over all evildoers
the Lord is your protector always new
('Fret not yourself because of evildoers;
be not envious of wrongdoers!
For they will soon fade like the grass
and wither like the green herb.
Trust in the Lord, and do good;
dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.
Delight yourself in the Lord,
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 forth your righteousness as the light,
and your justice as the noonday.
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;
fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way,
over the man who carries out evil devices!')
Psalm 37: 1-7 (ESV)
