Tune: Ewing
('Jerusalem the golden')
Psalm 37 v.5-11
********
Commit your way to the Lord
Trust in Him and His word
And He shall bring things to pass
On Him your burden cast
He shall your righteousness
Brin forth, you shall Him bless
He shall give light and judgment
As clear as noonday sent
Rest in the Lord, wait patient
For Him, and not relent
Fret not yourself of they who
Prosper and evil do
Cease from anger, wrath forsake
And harmony, peace make
Fret not yourself to do sin
It shall cause harm therein
For evildoers the ysahll
Be destroyed, know it well
But they that on the Lord wait
Shall inherit estate
Of the earth, it be the due
Of meek and lowly too
They shall have abundant peace
Delights that never cease

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 7.6.7.6. 7.6.7.6. I sang this hymn in a dusty-smelling old church, though pews had been polished. It gave an ethereal atmosphere.

Somehow the meek inherit the earth, not the proud arrogant, etc.
there's no point in overdoing it Steven .. maybe a rest is for the best .. & for all of us .. I do like the smell of old dusty churches, cathedrals and temples .. not so keen on old dusty hutches .. Neville
Thanks N. I'm taking a rest in my hutch!
I used to let my friends carry my back pack. I told them it was very Christian to carry another man's burden. That is also an interesting thought, to smell the music, it gives it a whole different appeal. Nice one Orchi.
Thanks SB. Depends if the dust irritates us, starts us coughing, etc. lol.
Ah.. as if we were sitting with David himself!
Thanks John. I thought at first that David wrote ALL the Psalms, but he didn't! Though it looks like he wrote this one, No.37.
Correct Solomon and others also wrote Psalms.. Psalms are still being written today
God one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
