1
{[A Psalm] of David.} Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, and be not envious of them that work unrighteousness;
2
for they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and fade as the green herb.
3
Confide in Jehovah, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on faithfulness;
4
and delight thyself in Jehovah, and he will give thee the desires of thy heart.
5
Commit thy way unto Jehovah, and rely upon him: he will bring [it] to pass;
6
and he will bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7
Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him that prospereth in his way, because of the man that bringeth mischievous devices to pass.
8
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself: it [would be] only to do evil.
9
For evil-doers shall be cut off; but those that wait on Jehovah, they shall possess the land.
10
For yet a little while, and the wicked is not; and thou considerest his place, but he is not.
11
But the meek shall possess the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of prosperity.
