1 A David psalm. Don't bother your head with braggarts or wish you could succeed like the wicked. 2 In no time they'll shrivel like grass clippings and wilt like cut flowers in the sun. 3 Get insurance with GOD and do a good deed, settle down and stick to your last. 4 Keep company with GOD, get in on the best. 5 Open up before GOD, keep nothing back; he'll do whatever needs to be done: 6 He'll validate your life in the clear light of day and stamp you with approval at high noon. 7 Quiet down before GOD, be prayerful before him. Don't bother with those who climb the ladder, who elbow their way to the top. 8 Bridle your anger, trash your wrath, cool your pipes--it only makes things worse. 9 Before long the crooks will be bankrupt; GOD-investors will soon own the store.
