to English speakers... God Himself wrote with his own finger on stone tablets He then gave to Moses. (Exo 31:18) Using the Diving Name of our Creator is a uniting force in this divided world! •••
Psalms 37:1-11 NWT . . .By David. Do not be concerned with evil people. Do not envy those who prosper by doing wicked things. (2) They will quickly die like new grass that withers without water.

Trust him, and he will act in your behalf. (6) He will make your righteousness shine as light itself, your just cause like the noonday sun. (7) Surrender yourself to יהוה and wait patiently for him. Do not be concerned with an evildoer who succeeds in his way when he carries out his schemes. (8) Let go of anger, and leave rage behind. Do not fret yourself. It only leads to evil.

(10) Sinners will soon disappear, never to be found, (11) but the [righteous] poor will take the land and enjoy a big harvest.
Psalm 37:1-11 NWT . . .Do not show yourself heated up because of the evildoers. Do not be envious of those doing unrighteousness. 2 For like grass they will speedily wither, And like green new grass they will fade away. ? [Behth] 3 Trust in Jehovah (יהוה) and do good; Reside in the earth, and deal with faithfulness. 4 Also take exquisite delight in Jehovah (יהוה), And he will give you the requests of your heart. ? [Gi´mel] 5 Roll upon Jehovah (יהוה) your way, And rely upon him, and he himself will act. 6 And he will certainly bring forth your righteousness as the light itself, And your justice as the midday. ? [Da´leth] 7 Keep silent before Jehovah (יהוה) And wait longingly for him. Do not show yourself heated up at anyone making his way successful, At the man carrying out [his] ideas. ? [He´] 8 Let anger alone and leave rage; Do not show yourself heated up only to do evil. 9 For evildoers themselves will be cut off, But those hoping in Jehovah (יהוה) are the ones that will possess the earth. ? [Waw] 10 And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more; And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. 11 But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.
