The Heritage of the Righteous and the Calamity of the Wicked

A Psalm of David.

1 Doa 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. 
8 aCease from anger, and forsake wrath;
bDo not fret—it only causes harm. 
9 For evildoers shall be1 cut off;
But those who wait on the Lord,
They shall ainherit the earth. 
10 For ayet a little while and the wicked shall be no more;
Indeed, byou will look carefully for his place,
But it shall be no more.
