1
A Psalm of David. Fret not yourself because of the wicked, be not envious of wrongdoers!
2
For they will soon fade like the grass, and wither like the green herb.
3
Trust in the LORD, and do good; so you will dwell in the land, and enjoy security.
4
Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5
Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act.
6
He will bring forth your vindication as the light, and your right as the noonday.
7
Be still before the LORD, and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over him who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices!
8
Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.
9
For the wicked shall be cut off; but those who wait for the LORD shall possess the land.
10
Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look well at his place, he will not be there.
11
But the meek shall possess the land, and delight themselves in abundant prosperity.
