Psalm 37: Psalms for Shepherds Part 4

In this final part of Psalm 37 David continues to show us the different ways God deals with the righteous and the wicked, to wait on the Lord and keep His ways.32 The wicked watches for the righteous and seeks to put him to death.33 The Lord will not abandon him to his power or let him be condemned when he is brought to trial.34 Wait for the Lord and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land; you will look on when the wicked are cut off.35 I have seen a wicked, ruthless man, spreading himself like a green laurel tree.36 But he passed away, and behold, he was no more; though I sought him, he could not be found.37 Mark the blameless and behold the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace.38 But transgressors shall be altogether destroyed; the future of the wicked shall be cut off.39 The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; he is their stronghold in the time of trouble.40 The Lord helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him.Psalm 37:32-40 ESVDear shepherd leader, take a moment and go back and read Psalm 37 again.
