1 Do^a not fret because of evildoers,
Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity. ‡

2 For they shall soon be cut down ^alike the grass,
And wither as the green herb. ‡

3 Trust in the Lord, and do good;
Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.

4 ^aDelight yourself also in the Lord,
And He shall give you the desires of your ^bheart. ‡

5 ^aCommit¹ your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass. ‡

6 ^aHe shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,
And your justice as the noonday. ‡

7 Rest in the Lord, ^aand wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who ^bprospers in his way,
Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass. ‡
