1
Aleph Do not be angry with the evildoers, neither be thou envious of the workers of iniquity.
2
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass and wither as the green herb.
3
Beth Wait in the LORD and do good; live in the land and uphold the truth.
4
In the same manner delight thyself in the LORD, and he shall give thee the desires of thy heart.
5
Gimel Turn thy way unto the LORD and wait in him, and he shall bring
it to pass.
6
And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light and thy uprightness as the noonday.
7
Daleth Be silent before the LORD and wait
patiently for him; do not be angry with him who prospers in his way, with the man who brings wicked devices to pass.
8
He Cease from anger and forsake wrath: let not thy wrath in any wise cause you to become evil.
9
For evildoers shall be cut off; but those that wait for the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
10
Vau For yet a little while, and the wicked
shall not
be; thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it
shall not
be.
11
But the meek shall inherit the earth and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
