1. Do not be agitated by evildoers;do not envy those who do wrong.
2. For they wither quickly like grassand wilt like tender green plants.
3. Trust in the Lord and do what is good; dwell in the land and live securely.
4. Take delight in the Lord,and He will give you your heart’s desires.
5. Commit your way to the Lord;trust in Him, and He will act,
6. making your righteousness shine like the dawn,your justice like the noonday.
7. Be silent before the Lord and wait expectantly for Him; do not be agitated by one who prospers in his way,by the man who carries out evil plans.
8. Refrain from anger and give up your rage;do not be agitated — it can only bring harm.
9. For evildoers will be destroyed,but those who put their hope in the Lordwill inherit the land.
10. A little while, and the wicked person will be no more;though you look for him, he will not be there.
