Fret Not Thyself (EN 875)

EN 875 Fret Not Thyself

Ps.37.1

Versi Version 1

1

Fret not thyself, nor envious be,

When wicked workers thou shalt see,

Who prosper in their way;

For like the grass they perish soon,

And, like the herb cut down at noon,

They wither in a day.

2

Trust in the Lord and still do well,

Within the land securely dwell,

Feed on His faithfulness;

Delight thee also in the Lord,

And to thy heart He will accord

The good it would possess.

3

Yea, to the Lord thy way is known;

Confide in Him Who on the throne

Abides in power divine;

Thy righteousness He shall display;

Resplendent as the light of day,

It shall unclouded shine.

4

Rest in the Lord and be thou still,

With patience wait His holy will,

Enduring to the end.

Fret not though sinners’ gains increase;

Forsake thy wrath, from anger cease;

It will to evil tend.

5

The evil-doer soon shall die,

But those that on the Lord rely

Shall all the land obtain.

A little while and thou shalt see

That wicked man cut off shall be,

They shall be sought in vain.

6

Yea, thou shalt soon consider well

The place where they were wont to dwell,

And it shall not be found;

But saints shall all the land possess,

And find delight and happiness

Where fruits of peace abound.

7

The vile may plot against the just

Who in the Lord Jehovah trust,

But God will scorn them all;

The Lord their coming day shall see,

When broken all their power shall be,

And ruin on them fall.
