But give great joy to those who came to my defense.Let them continually say, “Great is the Lord,who delights in blessing his servant with peace!”

Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts.36:1 As in some Hebrew manuscripts and Syriac version, which read in his heart. Masoretic Text reads in my heart.They have no fear of God at all.

Be still in the presence of the Lord,and wait patiently for him to act.Don’t worry about evil people who prosperor fret about their wicked schemes.8Stop being angry!Turn from your rage!Do not lose your temper—it only leads to harm.9For the wicked will be destroyed,but those who trust in the Lord will possess the land.

Put your hope in the Lord.Travel steadily along his path.He will honor you by giving you the land.You will see the wicked destroyed.

Lord God my Father,

Bring others to join me in doing your will, protect me from distraction. May your confidence carry me past my fear and keep my hope under your control.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
