when you're losing heart.. .

¹Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

²For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

³Trust in the LORD and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

⁴Delight thyself also in the LORD, and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

⁵Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.

⁶And He shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

⁷Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him; fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

⁸Cease from anger and forsake wrath; fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

⁹For evildoers shall be cut off; but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

¹⁰For yet a little while and the wicked shall not be; yea, thou shalt diligently look for his place, and it shall not be.

¹¹But the meek shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

¹⁶A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.

¹⁷For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.

¹⁸The LORD knoweth the days of the upright; and their inheritance shall be for ever.

¹⁹They shall not be ashamed in the evil time, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

²³The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, and He delighteth in his way.

²⁴Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the LORD upholdeth him with His hand.

²⁵I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging for bread.

³⁴Wait on the LORD and keep His way, and He shall exalt thee to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

³⁹But the salvation of the righteous is in the LORD; He is their strength in the time of trouble.

⁴⁰And the LORD shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked and save them, because they trust in Him.

-Psalm 37
