Responsive Call to Worship: Psalm 37:1–11
L: Do not fret because of the wicked;
do not be envious of wrongdoers,
All: for they will soon fade like the grass,
and wither like the green herb.
L: Trust in the Lord, and do good;
so you will live in the land, and enjoy security.
All: Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
L: Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him, and he will act.
All: He will make your vindication shine like the light,
and the justice of your cause like the noonday.
L: Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for him;
All: Do not fret over those who prosper in their way,
over those who carry out evil devices.
L: Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath.
Do not fret—it leads only to evil.
All: For the wicked shall be cut off,
but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.
L: Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more;
though you look diligently for their place, they will not be there.
All: But the meek shall inherit the land,
and delight in abundant prosperity.
