<
> Don't fret because of evil-doers, Neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.
2
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither like the green herb.
3
Trust in the LORD, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.
4
Also delight yourself in the LORD, And he will give you the desires of your heart.
5
Commit your way to the LORD. Trust also in him, and he will do this:
6
He will make your righteousness go forth as the light, And your justice as the noon day sun.
7
Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him. Don't fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.
8
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Don't fret, it leads only to evildoing.
9
For evildoers shall be cut off, But those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land.
10
For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more. Yes, though you look for his place, he isn't there.
