1. Do not fret because of evildoers; do not be envious of doers of wickedness.
2. For like the grass they will dry up quickly, and like green vegetation they will wither.
3. Trust Yahweh and do good. Abide in the land and feed on faithfulness.
4. Take pleasure in Yahweh as well, and he will give to you the requests of your heart.
5. Commit to Yahweh your way; Trust also on him and he will act.
6. Then he will bring forth your righteousness like the light, and your justice like the noonday.
7. Be quiet before Yahweh and wait for him. Do not fret about one who succeeds in his way, about a man making plots.
8. Refrain from anger and forsake wrath. Do not fret; it only brings evil.
9. For evildoers will be cut off, but those who wait for Yahweh— they will possess the land.
