Psalms 37

I have really come to appreciate the gift we as human beings have to incorporate the beauty of music into worship. Although I don't consider myself musically "in tune" whatsoever I love, love LOVE the pure simplicity and wonderfulness of singing a sacred hymn or scripture song with a group or by myself whether that be on top of a mountain, in the car, or anywhere where I can be in the presence of God. Since I don't read music I am very often attracted to a particular song because of the tune or beat. Besides singing the words of a hymn I think one can get a blessing out of a song by simply reading the words to a song or scripture verse. Because of a SONS OF KORAH scripture song (Psalms 37, Shine like the dawn), there is one particular Psalm I have really come to like. I listened to this song over and over because of the catchy tune but then stopped one day and read the actual verses in the bible and it made what I was listening to all the more meaningful! Psalms 37:1-6 states:

1 Do not fret because of evil men
or be envious of those who do wrong;
2 for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.

3 Trust in the LORD and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart.

5 Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.


I was browsing around looking for more meaning behind this particular section of Psalms 37 and found this websites dissection of Psalms 37 Interpret it as you may.

Q: In Ps 37:3-5, what is the difference between trusting in the Lord, delighting in the Lord, and committing your way to the Lord?
A: We are to do all three, but sometimes believers do only one or two.
Trusting in the Lord means to have faith to believe what He says, the peace to know that you are in God's hand, and the courage to stand for what is right and against what is wrong. It does not necessarily mean you have any joy in the Lord or that you are trying to please and obey Him. Psalm 62 is a beautiful description of trusting in the Lord.
Delighting in the Lord means that your life is one of rejoicing with praise to God. It does not necessarily mean you know Him deeply or obey Him very well.
Committing your way to the Lord means to follow what God says and not do what God forbids, to have an attitude of obedience. Obedience can be only out of duty, and not necessarily out of much love or springing from faith.
Each one is important for us to do, without neglecting the others
