1 Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of the workers of iniquity2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. 3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. 4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.6 He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday….12 The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth.13 The Lord laughs at him,For He sees that his day is coming. 14 The wicked have drawn the sword
and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to slay those who are of upright conduct. 15 Their sword shall enter their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. 16 A little that a righteous man has is better than the riches of many wicked….19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied…..23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord,And He delights in his way. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;For the Lord upholds him with His hand. 25 I have been young, and now am old;Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging bread…27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell forevermore. 29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell in it forever. 30 The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, and his tongue talks of justice. 31 The law of his God is in his heart;none of his steps shall slide.32 The wicked watches the righteous,and seeks to slay him. 33 The Lord will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. 34 Wait on the Lord, and keep His way, and He shall exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you shall see it…..38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together; the future of the wicked shall be cut off.39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their strength in the time of trouble. 40 And the Lord shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in Him.
Psalms 37: 1-6,12-16,19,23-25,27-34,38-40
Q & A：
- Discuss how David handles and reacts to the episodes where Saul tried to kill David despite his faithfulness, Absalom being his own flesh and blood (closest person) betrayed him and Mephibosheth’s ungratefulness when David was at his lowest point. How do the outcomes of these people show you about justice and whoever sows injustice will reap calamity? (1 Sam 31:4; 2 Sam 15:13-14; 2 Sam 18:9; 2 Sam 16:3-4; 2 Sam 19:24)
- What can you learn from David to be guided and led by God, recomposes his emotions with a clear strategic mind and not fret over evildoers? Discuss how you can be a trailblazer in this world of darkness by being different in the way you live by faith, regardless whether you are a student, a young adult, an entrepreneur or a seasoned businessman. (Ps 37:16, 19, 23-25, 39-40)
