Worry as a Way of Life

Blessed is the man whom You instruct, O LORD,

And teach out of Your law,

13 That You may give him rest from the days of adversity,

Until the pit is dug for the wicked.

Unless the LORD had been my help,

My soul would soon have settled in silence.

18 If I say, “My foot slips,”

Your mercy, O LORD, will hold me up.

19 In the multitude of my anxieties within me,

Your comforts delight my soul.

Cursed is the man who trusts in man

And makes flesh his strength,

Whose heart departs from the LORD.

7 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,

And whose hope is the LORD.

8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,

Worry
