Study note

Psalm 37:1–9

The wise respond to evil by trusting in the Lord. Trust has five parts:

  1. Do not become irritated or jealous of those who do evil (Psalm 37:1–2).

  2. Delight in the Lord (Psalm 37:3–4).

  3. Submit to the Lord (Psalm 37:5–6).

  4. Practice patience in hope (Psalm 37:7).

  5. Avoid anger (Psalm 37:8–9).
