Psalm 37:1-3
“Don’t fret because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in Yahweh, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.”
This Psalm is attributed to David, a king and poet, and offers advice to people in ancient Israel facing difficulties and apparent prosperity of the wicked. It's a wisdom psalm, encouraging a long-term perspective and reliance on God rather than immediate reactions to perceived injustice.
