PSALM 37 (DELIGHT YOURSELF IN THE LORD)

LYRICS

Chorus:
Delight yourself in the Lord
And He will give you the desires of your heart

Verse 1:
Do not fret, do not envy those that do wrong
For they will fade like the grass
Trust the Lord, befriend faithfulness, and do good
Our Lord will hold you fast

Verse 2:
Just be still, wait before the Lord
He will act as you commit your way
He will bring forth your righteousness as the light
Your justice as the day

  • From Rachel: In my worship context, I write Psalm “reains” that the congregation can sing in response to the psalm being read each Sunday. It is a way to worship creatively, inviting even the unmusical in the congregation to engage in simple spontaneity using sound, sight, and rhythm to worship God actively. It’s work. This song camefrom one of those refrains, landing in a comforting way as delight should. It became a refrain that I would wake up hearing in my spirit, a heart I longed to have for God, a promise I could reach out and touch by faith.
