1. Don't be worried on account of the wicked;don't be jealous of those who do wrong.
2. They will soon disappear like grass that dries up;they will die like plants that wither.

4. Seek your happiness in the Lord,and he will give you your heart's desire.
5. Give yourself to the Lord;trust in him, and he will help you;
6. he will make your righteousness shine like the noonday sun.
7. Be patient and wait for the Lord to act;don't be worried about those who prosperor those who succeed in their evil plans.
8. Don't give in to worry or anger;it only leads to trouble.
9. Those who trust in the Lord will possess the land,but the wicked will be driven out.
10. Soon the wicked will disappear;you may look for them, but you won't find them;
11. the humble will possess the landand enjoy prosperity and peace.
12. The wicked plot against good peopleand glare at them with hate.
13. But the Lord laughs at wicked people,because he knows they will soon be destroyed.
14. The wicked draw their swords and bend their bowsto kill the poor and needy,to slaughter those who do what is right;
15. but they will be killed by their own swords,and their bows will be smashed.
