Good morning Foadie, I am up now!
I have been reading Psalm 37, thought I would share it.
Psa 37:1 Do not fret because of evildoers,
Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.
Psa 37:2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
And wither as the green herb.
Psa 37:3 Trust in the LORD, and do good;
Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
Psa 37:4 Delight yourself also in the LORD,
And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Psa 37:5 Commit your way to the LORD,
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass.
Psa 37:6 He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,
And your justice as the noonday.
Psa 37:7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
Psa 37:8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath;
Do not fret--it only causes harm.
Psa 37:9 For evildoers shall be cut off;
But those who wait on the LORD,
They shall inherit the earth.
Psa 37:10 For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more;
Indeed, you will look carefully for his place,
But it shall be no more.
Psa 37:11 But the meek shall inherit the earth,
And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
Psa 37:12 The wicked plots against the just,
And gnashes at him with his teeth.
Psa 37:13 The Lord laughs at him,
For He sees that his day is coming.
Psa 37:14 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.
Psa 37:15 Their sword shall enter their own heart,
And their bows shall be broken.
Psa 37:16 A little that a righteous man has
Is better than the riches of many wicked.
Psa 37:17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,
But the LORD upholds the righteous.
Psa 37:18 The LORD knows the days of the upright,
And their inheritance shall be forever.
Psa 37:19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time,
And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Psa 37:20 But the wicked shall perish;
And the enemies of the LORD,
Like the splendor of the meadows, shall vanish.
Into smoke they shall vanish away.
Psa 37:21 The wicked borrows and does not repay,
But the righteous shows mercy and gives.
Psa 37:22 For those blessed by Him shall inherit the earth,
But those cursed by Him shall be cut off.
Psa 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD,
And He delights in his way.
Psa 37:24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;
For the LORD upholds him with His hand.
Psa 37:25 I have been young, and now am old;
Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,
Nor his descendants begging bread.
Psa 37:26 He is ever merciful, and lends;
And his descendants are blessed.
Psa 37:27 Depart from evil, and do good;
And dwell forevermore.
Psa 37:28 For the LORD loves justice,
And does not forsake His saints;
They are preserved forever,
But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off.
Psa 37:29 The righteous shall inherit the land,
And dwell in it forever.
Psa 37:30 The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom,
And his tongue talks of justice.
Psa 37:31 The law of his God is in his heart;
None of his steps shall slide.
Psa 37:32 The wicked watches the righteous,
And seeks to slay him.
Psa 37:33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand,
Nor condemn him when he is judged.
Psa 37:34 Wait on the LORD,
And keep His way,
And He shall exalt you to inherit the land;
When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
Psa 37:35 I have seen the wicked in great power,
And spreading himself like a native green tree.
Psa 37:36 Yet he passed away, and behold, he was no more;
Indeed I sought him, but he could not be found.
Psa 37:37 Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright;
For the future of that man is peace.
Psa 37:38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together;
The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
Psa 37:39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD;
He is their strength in the time of trouble.
Psa 37:40 And the LORD shall help them and deliver them;
He shall deliver them from the wicked,
And save them,
Because they trust in Him.
I am here.. in bits and pieces!!
