A Psalm of David. Fret not thyselfbecause of evildoers, neitherbe thou enviousagainst the workersof iniquity. Forthey shall soonbe cut downlike the grass, and witheras the greenherb. Trustin the LORD, and dogood; so shalt thou dwellin the land, and verilythou shalt be fed. Delight thyselfalso inthe LORD; and he shall givethee the desiresof thine heart. Committhy wayuntothe LORD; trustalso inhim; and heshall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forththy righteousnessas the light, and thy judgmentas the noonday. Restin the LORD, and wait patientlyfor him: fret not thyselfbecause of him who prosperethin his way, because of the manwho bringeth wicked devices to pass. Ceasefrom anger, and forsakewrath: fret not thyselfin any wiseto do evil. Forevildoersshall be cut off: but those that wait uponthe LORD, theyshall inheritthe earth. For yeta littlewhile, and the wicked shall not be : yea, thou shalt diligently considerhis place, and it shall not be . But the meekshall inheritthe earth; and shall delight themselvesinthe abundanceof peace. The wickedplottethagainst the just, and gnashethuponhim with his teeth. The Lordshall laughat him: forhe seeththathis dayis coming. The wickedhave drawn outthe sword, and have benttheir bow, to cast downthe poorand needy, and to slaysuch as be of uprightconversation. Their swordshall enterinto their own heart, and their bowsshall be broken. A littlethat a righteousman hath is betterthan the richesof manywicked. Forthe armsof the wickedshall be broken: but the LORDupholdeththe righteous. The LORDknoweththe daysof the upright: and their inheritanceshall beforever. They shall notbe ashamedin the eviltime: and in the daysof faminethey shall be satisfied. Butthe wickedshall perish, and the enemiesof the LORD shall be as the fatof lambs: they shall consume; into smokeshall they consume away. The wickedborroweth, and payethnotagain: but the righteousshoweth mercy, and giveth. For such as be blessedof him shall inheritthe earth; and they that be cursedof him shall be cut off. The stepsof a good manare orderedby the LORD: and he delightethin his way. Thoughhe fall, he shall notbe utterly cast down: forthe LORDupholdeth him with his hand. I have beenyoung, and now am old; yet have I notseenthe righteousforsaken, nor his seedbeggingbread. He is evermerciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed. Departfromevil, and dogood; and dwellforevermore. Forthe LORDlovethjudgment, and forsakethnothis saints; they are preservedforever: but the seedof the wickedshall be cut off. The righteousshall inheritthe land, and dwellthereinforever. The mouthof the righteousspeakethwisdom, and his tonguetalkethof judgment. The lawof his God is in his heart; noneof his stepsshall slide. The wickedwatcheththe righteous, and seekethto slayhim. The LORDwill notleavehim in his hand, norcondemnhim when he is judged. Waitonthe LORD, and keephis way, and he shall exaltthee to inheritthe land: when the wickedare cut off, thou shalt see it . I have seenthe wickedin great power, and spreading himselflike a greenbay tree. Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I soughthim, but he could notbe found. Markthe perfect man , and beholdthe upright: forthe endof that man is peace. But the transgressorsshall be destroyedtogether: the endof the wickedshall be cut off. But the salvationof the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strengthin the timeof trouble. And the LORDshall helpthem, and deliverthem: he shall deliverthem from the wicked, and savethem, becausethey trustin him.
