1: Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against 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 shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

4: Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

5: Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

6: And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

7: Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

8: Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

9: For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
