He Will Not Forsake His Saints

[a] Of David.

37 (A)Fret not yourself because of evildoers;
    be not (B)envious of wrongdoers!
For they will soon (C)fade like (D)the grass
    and wither (E)like the green herb.
(F)Trust in the Lord, and do good;
    (G)dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.[b]

Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
