Psalms 37:5
3 Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.
4 Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him, and He will do it.
6 He will bring forth your righteousness like the dawn, your justice like the noonday sun.
7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for Him; do not fret when men prosper in their ways, when they carry out wicked schemes.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
