Psalms 37:6

JusticeGod's faithfulness

4 Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart.

5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him, and He will do it.

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.

8 Refrain from anger and abandon wrath; do not fret—it can only bring harm.
