| 1 | 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. |
| 12 | The wicked plots against the righteous, and gnashes his teeth at him; |
| 13 | but the LORD laughs at the wicked, for he sees that his day is coming. |
