Give no heed to those who are greedy,
attend not to those who do wrong.
For, like the green grass of spring,
they soon fade and wither away.
Trust in the Most High, and seek goodness;
live harmoniously on the earth
in peace and assurance.
Take delight in the Beloved, and
enjoy the bountiful gifts of Love.
Recognize your own anger as unfulfilled
desire and,
lift your hearts to higher planes;
For those who act out of anger,
separate themselves from Love;
While those who live in harmony,
shall know peace, assurance, gratitude, and love.
In a little while, those who live with greed,
will prosper no more;
the darkness of ignorance will pass,
as a new dawn enlightens the world.
The lovers of darkness shall perish,
while the humble shall inherit
the earth, and find
delight in sharing its abundance
with all.
From Psalm 37: Psalms for Praying
