Stand Brave and Bold

Don’t worry about the wrong others do this day;
Like the grass they will wither and pass away.
In all you do trust the Lord doing what is right;
Delight in His precepts by day and by night.

Walk in the ways of the Lord; He will prove true:
In His righteous vindication will come to you.
Don’t fret when it looks like evil men succeed,
For the fiery wrath of God judges their deed.

Refrain from your anger; don’t fall into that sin;
For the Son of God came that you might win.
The plans of evil men will perish at God’s hand;
And those who hope in the Lord will rule the land.

Those who plot and scheme will be brought down;
You can look here and there but none will be found.
The upright and meek will enjoy God’s peace;
While the days of the wicked soon will cease.

The wicked strive to kill the humble and poor;
But the Lord knows soon their day will be no more.
Their evil will consume them with lust and greed;
But the righteous upon God’s sweet love will feed.

Now consider the blameless, observe the upright;
Turn from those evil ways and do what is right.
In times of trails and troubles He is your stronghold,
In Him alone is there salvation; stand brave and bold.
