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.
10 For yet a lit­tle while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt 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 plot­teth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth 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 con­ver­sa­tion.
15 Their sword shall en­ter into their own heart, and their bows shall be bro­ken.
16 A lit­tle that a righ­teous man hath is bet­ter than the rich­es of many wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be bro­ken: but the LORD up­hold­eth the righ­teous.
18 The LORD knoweth the days of the up­right: and their in­her­i­tance shall be for ev­er.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be sat­is­fied.
20 But the wicked shall per­ish, and the en­e­mies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall con­sume; into smoke shall they con­sume away.
21 The wicked bor­roweth, and payeth not again: but the righ­teous sheweth mer­cy, and giveth.
22 For ­such as be blessed of him shall in­her­it the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
23 The steps of a good man are or­dered by the LORD: and he de­lighteth in his way.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be ut­ter­ly cast down: for the LORD up­hold­eth him with his hand.
25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righ­teous for­sak­en, nor his seed beg­ging bread.
26 He is ever mer­ci­ful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
27 De­part from evil, and do good; and dwell for ev­er­more.
28 For the LORD loveth judg­ment, and for­saketh not his saints; they are pre­served for ev­er: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 The righ­teous shall in­her­it the land, and dwell there­in for ev­er.
30 The mouth of the righ­teous speaketh wis­dom, and his tongue talketh of judg­ment.
31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
32 The wicked watch­eth the righ­teous, and seeketh to slay him.
33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor con­demn him when he is judged.
34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall ex­alt thee to in­her­it the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
35 I have seen the wicked in great pow­er, and spread­ing him­self like a green bay tree.
36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 Mark the per­fect man, and be­hold the up­right: for the end of that man is peace.
38 But the trans­gres­sors shall be de­stroyed to­geth­er: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 But the sal­va­tion of the righ­teous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trou­ble.
40 And the LORD shall help them, and de­liv­er them: he shall de­liv­er them from the wicked, and save them, be­cause they trust in him.
