"The meek shall inherit the earth and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.... For such as be blessed of Him shall inherit the earth.... though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with His hand.... Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace" (Psalm 37:11, 22-24, 37).
The meek shall inherit the earth after all,
But not for their meekness or righteous behavior,
For even the meekest among them will fall;
The meek put their trust in our Lord and our Savior.
Yes, even the meek may be sometimes enticed
To act in self-will or give in to temptation,
Yet they are secured by the Lord Jesus Christ
Who brings to perfection His work of salvation.
Mark then the meek, and consider their peace,
For this is their end in Christ Jesus their Lord.
Though heaven and earth as we know them shall cease,
Their Lord is forever their greatest Reward.
