1. Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.
2. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3. Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and follow after faithfulness.
4. Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him, and he shall bring it to pass.
6. Add he shall make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7. Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself, it tendeth only to evil-doing.
9. For evil-doers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the land.
10. For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and he shall not be.
11. But the meek shall inherit the land; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12. The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13. The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
