PSALM 37

The Lord has Words for Us Today

 

1.   The Lord has words for us today.

When evil looks to conquer all.

Delight in me and live my way

Though hurting now I hear your call.

 

2.    Rest in the Lord for he will act.

The wrong he’ll right; the good he’ll do.

He’s at your side; you nothing lack

He blesses you each day anew.

 

3.    Do not envy those who do well

The Lord has said their time will end.

He will befriend all those who dwell

Close to his Son whom he did send.

 

4.    The Lord will meet your heart's desire

As you commit to Him your way.

His home he said you will acquire

When close to Him you always stay.

 

5.    You'll find your joy in what he gives;

When he alone directs your ways.

Give praise to Him that Jesus lives

To guide his people all their days

 

6.    Be humble now before the Lord.

Know he observes all your good deeds.

He offers peace as his reward

He sent his Son to meet your needs.

 

7.    Walk in his way; wait on the Lord.

And to his Word your life submit

When mind and heart are in accord

With Him in heaven you will sit.

Here’s a psalm that reconciles the fact that evil prospers while God’s faithful suffer.  Envy them not who do well for, like the grass, they are short lived.  Put your trust in God and remain obedient to his call to follow in his way.  Then delight in his promise to give you your heart’s desire which in the long run is to find eternal rest in him.
