1. Do not be preoccupied with evildoers.Do not envy those who do wicked things.
2. They will quickly dry up like grassand wither away like green plants.
3. Trust the Lord, and do good things.Live in the land, and practice being faithful.
4. Be happy with the Lord,and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5. Entrust your ways to the Lord.Trust him, and he will act ⌊on your behalf⌋.
6. He will make your righteousness shine like a light,your just cause like the noonday sun.
7. Surrender yourself to the Lord, and wait patiently for him.Do not be preoccupied with ⌊an evildoer⌋ who succeeds in his waywhen he carries out his schemes.
8. Let go of anger, and leave rage behind.Do not be preoccupied.It only leads to evil.
