In The Fray

Fret not yourself because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers! For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb. Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices! Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it only tends to evil. For the evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land. In just a little while, the wicked will be no more;  though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there. But the meek shall inherit the land and delight themselves in abundant peace. The wicked draw the sword and bend their bows... to slay those whose way is upright; Their sword shall enter their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. The Lord upholds the righteous... for those blessed be the Lord shall inherit the land, but those cursed by him shall be cut off. I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken.

Whoever does not come to know the face of God in contemplation will not recognize it in action...
