1. Do not fret because of those who are evilor be envious of those who do wrong;
2. for like the grass they will soon wither,like green plants they will soon die away.
3. Trust in the Lord and do good;dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
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 do this:
6. he will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,your vindication like the noonday sun.
7. Be still before the Lordand wait patiently for him;do not fret when people succeed in their ways,when they carry out their wicked schemes.
8. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;do not fret – it leads only to evil.
