Psalm 37:1

New International Version

Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong;

See the chapter Copy

The upright are appalled at this; the innocent are aroused against the ungodly.

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.

For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

A person’s own folly leads to their ruin, yet their heart rages against the Lord.

Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the Lord.

Do not envy the wicked, do not desire their company;

Do not fret because of evildoers or be envious of the wicked,

Do not envy the violent or choose any of their ways.

Yet because the wicked do not fear God, it will not go well with them, and their days will not lengthen like a shadow.

and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
