In today’s Meditatio Hour, Rev. Jonathan Fisk meditates on:

1. Psalm 37:1-7

He Will Not Forsake His Saints

[a] Of David.

37 Fret not yourself because of evildoers;
be not envious of wrongdoers!
2 For they will soon fade like the grass
and wither like the green herb.

3 Trust in the Lord, and do good;
dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.[b]
4 Delight yourself in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.

5 Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him, and he will act.
6 He will bring forth your righteousness as the light,
and your justice as the noonday.

7 Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;
fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way,
over the man who carries out evil devices!

Footnotes:

2. Proverbs 13:25

25 The righteous has enough to satisfy his appetite,
but the belly of the wicked suffers want.
