Psalms 73:3

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

Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this:

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

The wicked, in the pride of his face, has no room in his thoughts for God.

Blessed is the man who always fears; but one who hardens his heart falls into trouble.

Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,

What agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk in them. I will be their God and they will be my people.”

Yes, he loves the people. All his saints are in your hand. They sat down at your feet. Each receives your words.

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

They lie down alike in the dust. The worm covers them.

Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

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.

All this I have seen in my days of vanity: there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who lives long in his evildoing.

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

Lord, how long will you look on? Rescue my soul from their destruction, my precious life from the lions.

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

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.

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.

Now we call the proud happy; yes, those who work wickedness are built up; yes, they tempt God, and escape.’

Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’

envy, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom.

“It is all the same. Therefore I say he destroys the blameless and the wicked.

Yahweh examines the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and him who loves violence.

They have all gone aside. They have together become corrupt. There is no one who does good, no, not one.

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.

Against you, and you only, I have sinned, and done that which is evil in your sight, so you may be proved right when you speak, and justified when you judge.

though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.

You are righteous, Yahweh. Your judgments are upright.

The wicked desires the plunder of evil men, but the root of the righteous flourishes.

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

The wise man’s eyes are in his head, and the fool walks in darkness—and yet I perceived that one event happens to them all.

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.

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.

This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.

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 is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment. Please hear all you peoples, and see my sorrow. My virgins and my young men have gone into captivity.

to subvert a man in his cause, the Lord doesn’t approve.

“Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not equal.’ Hear now, house of Israel: Is my way not equal? Aren’t your ways unequal?

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

Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails; for the wicked surround the righteous; therefore justice comes out perverted.

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.

Then you shall return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him who serves God and him who doesn’t serve him.

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

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

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

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 give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for their good, and the good of their children after them.

So the assemblies throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace, and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.

The arrogant will not stand in your sight. You hate all workers of iniquity.

The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt. They have done abominable deeds. There is no one who does good.

For my soul was grieved. I was embittered in my heart.

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

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

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

For all this I laid to my heart, even to explore all this: that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God; whether it is love or hatred, man doesn’t know it; all is before them.

You who have purer eyes than to see evil, and who cannot look on perversity, why do you tolerate those who deal treacherously, and keep silent when the wicked swallows up the man who is more righteous than he,

He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man produced abundantly.

Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously”?
