Bible Question: What does this verse mean? |
Bible Answer: Sometimes it helps to consult another translation and to look at the context of a verse (NIV) Psalm 37:1-4 1 Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong; 2 for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away. 3 Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. 4 Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. To me, this means, don't get upset over the actions of wicked people for their fate is certain. Instead, devote yourself to the Lord; you will be safe from the wicked, so there is no need to worry about what they do. |
