1
A Psalm of David. Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.
2
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb.
3
Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
4
Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
5
Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.
6
He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, And your justice as the noonday.
7
Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
8
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; Do not fret--it only causes harm.
9
For evildoers shall be cut off; But those who wait on the Lord, They shall inherit the earth.
10
For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more; Indeed, you will look carefully for his place, But it shall be no more.
11
But the meek shall inherit the earth, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
