1. A psalm for David himself.Be not emulous of evildoers; nor envy them that work iniquity.
2. For they shall shortly wither away as grass, and as the green herbs shall quickly fall.
3. Trust in the Lord, and do good, and dwell in the land, and thou shalt be fed with its riches.
4. Delight in the Lord, and he will give thee the requests of thy heart.
5. Commit thy way to the Lord, and trust in him, and he will do it.
6. And he will bring forth thy justice as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7. Be subject to the Lord and pray to him Envy not the man who prospereth in his way; the man who doth unjust things.
8. Cease from anger, and leave rage; have no emulation to do evil.
9. For the evildoers shall be cut off: but they that wait upon the Lord shall inherit the land.
10. For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: and thou shalt seek his place, and shalt not find it.
