A Song of Wisdom 

(The Passion Translation)

Psalm 37 

A Song of Wisdom

Poetic praise, by King David

1 Don’t follow after the wicked ones or be jealous of their wealth.

Don’t think for a moment they’re better off than you.

2 They and their short-lived success

will soon shrivel up and quickly fade away

like grass clippings in the hot sun.

3 Keep trusting in the Lord and do what is right in his eyes.

Fix your heart on the promises of God and you will be secure,

feasting on his faithfulness.

4 Make God the utmost delight and pleasure of your life,

and he will provide for you what you desire the most.

5 Give God the right to direct your life,

and as you trust him along the way

you’ll find he pulled it off perfectly!

6 He will appear as your righteousness,

as sure as the dawning of a new day.

He will manifest as your justice,

as sure and strong as the noonday sun.

7 Quiet your heart in his presence and pray;

keep hope alive as you long for God to come...
