1 Fret not because of evildoers; ♦︎
be not jealous of those who do wrong.
2 For they shall soon wither like grass ♦︎
and like the green herb fade away.
3 Trust in the Lord and be doing good; ♦︎
dwell in the land and be nourished with truth.
4 Let your delight be in the Lord ♦︎
and he will give you your hearts desire.
5 Commit your way to the Lord and put your trust in him, ♦︎
and he will bring it to pass.
6 He will make your righteousness as clear as the light ♦︎
and your just dealing as the noonday.
7 Be still before the Lord and wait for him; ♦︎
do not fret over those that prosper
as they follow their evil schemes.
8 Refrain from anger and abandon wrath; ♦︎
do not fret, lest you be moved to do evil.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off, ♦︎
but those who wait upon the Lord shall possess the land.
