1. Fret not yourself because of evildoers, neither be you envious of the workers of iniquity.
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; so shall you dwell in the land, and verily you shall be fed.
4. Delight yourself also in the LORD; and he shall give you the desires of your heart.
5. Commit your way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
6. And he shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.
7. Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not yourself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass.
8. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not yourself in any way to do evil.
9. For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
10. For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, you shall diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
11. But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12. The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes upon him with his teeth.
13. The Lord shall laugh at him: for he sees that his day is coming.
14. The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright behavior.
15. Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16. A little that a righteous man has is better than the riches of many wicked.
17. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholds the righteous.
