1
By David: Don't be upset by evildoers or envious of those who do wrong,
2
for soon they will wither like grass and fade like the green in the fields.
3
Trust in ADONAI, and do good; settle in the land, and feed on faithfulness.
4
Then you will delight yourself in ADONAI, and he will give you your heart's desire.
5
Commit your way to ADONAI; trust in him, and he will act.
6
He will make your vindication shine forth like light, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
7
Be still before ADONAI; wait patiently till he comes. Don't be upset by those whose way succeeds because of their wicked plans.
8
Stop being angry, put aside rage, and don't be upset - it leads to evil.
9
For evildoers will be cut off, but those hoping in ADONAI will inherit the land.
10
Soon the wicked will be no more; you will look for his place, and he won't be there.
11
But the meek will inherit the land and delight themselves in abundant peace.
