20 For evil-doers fret thou not...
Words: Scottish Psalter Music: William Henry Havergal
1 For evil-doers fret thou not
Thyself unquietly,
Nor do thou envy bear to those
That work iniquity.
2 For even like unto the grass,
Soon be cut down shall they;
And, like the green and tender herb,
They wither shall away.
3 Set thou thy trust upon the Lord,
And be thou doing good;
And so thou in the land shalt dwell,
And verily have food.
4 Delight thyself in God; He'll give
Thine heart's desire to thee.
Thy way to God commit, Him trust,
It bring to pass shall He.
5 And like unto the light, He shall
Thy righteousness display;
And He thy judgement shall bring forth
Like noon-tide of the day.
