Psalm 37:1-11( Tune: There Is A Fountain)

Words: The Book of Psalms for Worship, 37AMusic: There Is A Fountain, Lowell Mason

Arrangement: Chris Reeves

1. Do not be an-gry or out-raged when e - vil men you see.

Do not be en - vi - ous of those who do in - iq - ui - ty.

For they like grass will guick-ly change, will with-er and de- cay.

Just like a green and ten-der plant they soon will fade a - way.

2. Trust in the Lord and cul - ti - vate the good that you pos-sess.

Be set - tled in the land and choose to live in faith-ful-ness.

En - joy the Lord and he will give your heart’s de-sire to you.

Com-mit your path-way to the Lord; trust him; he will be true.

3. He’ll man-i-fest your righ-teous-ness as clear-ly as the light.

And show the jus - tice of your cause like noon-day… …shin-ing bright.

Be - fore the Lord be still and wait, for him wait ear - nest - ly.

Do not let schem-ers an - ger you with their pros-per-i- ty.

4. Let an-ger cease to be in you, and turn aw - ay from wrath.

For on - ly ev - il will re - sult with an-ger’s af - ter-math.

For ev - il - do-ers will not last; cut off, they can - not stand.

But those whose hope is in the Lord, these will pos-sess… …the land.

5. And so in just a li - ttle while the wick-ed will not be.

You may seek out where once he lived, but him you will not see.

As for the hum-ble pa-tient ones, the land they will pos - sess,

And there will sa - vor the de-lights of peace-ful bless-ed-ness.
