1  aFret not thyself because of evildoers,

Neither bbe thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

2  For they shall soon cbe cut down dlike the grass,

And wither as the green herb.

3  eTrust in the Lord, and do good;

So shalt thou dwell in the land, and †verily eethou shalt be fed.

4  fDelight thyself also in the Lord;

And ghe shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

5  †hCommit thy way unto the Lord;

eTrust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

6  And ihe shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light,

And thy judgment as jthe noonday.

7  †Rest in the Lord, and kwait patiently for him:

aFret not thyself because of him lwho prospereth in his way,

Because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

8  mCease from anger, and forsake wrath:

aFret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

9  mmFor evildoers shall be cut off:

But those that wait upon the Lord, they shall ninherit the earth.

10  For oyet a little while, and the wicked shall not be:

Yea, thou shalt diligently consider phis place, and it shall not be.

11  But qthe meek shall ninherit the earth;

And shall fdelight themselves in the abundance of peace.
