Psalms 73:21

Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding.

Don’t let your heart envy sinners, but rather fear Yahweh all day long.

Don’t fret yourself because of evildoers, neither be envious of the wicked;

“Why do the wicked live, become old, yes, and grow mighty in power?

Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh.

I waited patiently for Yahweh. He turned to me, and heard my cry.

Yahweh will command his loving kindness in the daytime. In the night his song shall be with me: a prayer to the God of my life.

You will guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.

I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; my spirit diligently inquires:

Don’t envy the man of violence. Choose none of his ways.

You have proved my heart. You have visited me in the night. You have tried me, and found nothing. I have resolved that my mouth shall not disobey.

My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him.

My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.

Don’t say, “I will pay back evil.” Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you.

Don’t be envious of evil men, neither desire to be with them;

You are righteous, Yahweh, when I contend with you; yet I would like to reason the cause with you. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are they all at ease who deal very treacherously?

Yahweh is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.

It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of Yahweh.

For the arrows of the Almighty are within me. My spirit drinks up their poison. The terrors of God set themselves in array against me.

He draws it out, and it comes out of his body. Yes, the glittering point comes out of his liver. Terrors are on him.

The foolishness of man subverts his way; his heart rages against Yahweh.

All things come alike to all. There is one event to the righteous and to the wicked; to the good, to the clean, to the unclean, to him who sacrifices, and to him who doesn’t sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner; he who takes an oath, as he who fears an oath.

For thus said the Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, “You will be saved in returning and rest. Your strength will be in quietness and in confidence.” You refused,

Yahweh, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says: “I am Yahweh your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go.

The Lord Yahweh has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary. He awakens morning by morning, he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.

But as for me, I will look to Yahweh. I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.

For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it; because it will surely come. It won’t delay.

Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up.

I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.

“I will heap evils on them. I will spend my arrows on them.

I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.

My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don’t answer; in the night season, and am not silent.

Wait for Yahweh, and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.

Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence.

Don’t be afraid when a man is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;

I don’t rebuke you for your sacrifices. Your burnt offerings are continually before me.

when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.

In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord. My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn’t get tired. My soul refused to be comforted.

I will give thanks to you with uprightness of heart, when I learn your righteous judgments.

I have remembered your name, Yahweh, in the night, and I obey your law.

My eyes stay open through the night watches, that I might meditate on your word.

Counsel and sound knowledge are mine. I have understanding and power.

If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent taking away of justice and righteousness in a district, don’t marvel at the matter, for one official is eyed by a higher one, and there are officials over them.

There is a vanity which is done on the earth, that there are righteous men to whom it happens according to the work of the wicked. Again, there are wicked men to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.

I will wait for Yahweh, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.

With my soul I have desired you in the night. Yes, with my spirit within me I will seek you earnestly; for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

My eyes fail with tears. My heart is troubled. My liver is poured on the earth, because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, because the young children and the infants swoon in the streets of the city.

“The king will do according to his will. He will exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and will speak marvelous things against the God of gods. He will prosper until the indignation is accomplished; for that which is determined will be done.

Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,

The archers have severely grieved him, shot at him, and persecuted him:

Saul said, “Bring the burnt offering to me here, and the peace offerings.” He offered the burnt offering.

While he was still talking with them, behold, the messenger came down to him. Then he said, “Behold, this evil is from Yahweh. Why should I wait for Yahweh any longer?”

He appointed some of the Levites to minister before Yahweh’s ark, and to commemorate, to thank, and to praise Yahweh, the God of Israel:

The tents of robbers prosper. Those who provoke God are secure, who carry their god in their hands.

His archers surround me. He splits my kidneys apart, and does not spare. He pours out my bile on the ground.

Notwithstanding my right I am considered a liar. My wound is incurable, though I am without disobedience.’

Don’t fret because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.

Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.

For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

My heart is blighted like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread.

You have planted them. Yes, they have taken root. They grow. Yes, they produce fruit. You are near in their mouth, and far from their heart.

He has caused the shafts of his quiver to enter into my kidneys.

Sigh, but not aloud. Make no mourning for the dead. Bind your headdress on you, and put your sandals on your feet. Don’t cover your lips, and don’t eat mourner’s bread.”

Therefore turn to your God. Keep kindness and justice, and wait continually for your God.

“Therefore wait for me”, says Yahweh, “until the day that I rise up to the prey, for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour on them my indignation, even all my fierce anger, for all the earth will be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.

“By your endurance you will win your lives.

rejoicing in hope; enduring in troubles; continuing steadfastly in prayer;

For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.

I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may become rich; and white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see.
