* Do not fret because of evildoers , Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity . * For they shall soon be cut down like the grass , And wither as the green herb . * Trust in the LORD , and do good ; Dwell in the land , and feed on His faithfulness . * Delight yourself also in the LORD , And He shall give you the desires of your heart . * Commit your way to the LORD , Trust also in Him , And He shall bring it to pass . * He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light , And your justice as the noonday . * Rest in the LORD , and wait patiently for Him ; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way , Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass . * Cease from anger , and forsake wrath ; Do not fret--it only causes harm . * For evildoers shall be cut off ; But those who wait on the LORD , They shall inherit the earth . * For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more ; Indeed , you will look carefully for his place , But it shall be no more . * But the meek shall inherit the earth , And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace . * The wicked plots against the just , And gnashes at him with his teeth . * The Lord laughs at him , For He sees that his day is coming . * The wicked have drawn the sword And have bent their bow , To cast down the poor and needy , To slay those who are of upright conduct . * Their sword shall enter their own heart , And their bows shall be broken . * A little that a righteous man has Is better than the riches of many wicked . * For the arms of the wicked shall be broken , But the LORD upholds the righteous . * The LORD knows the days of the upright , And their inheritance shall be forever . * They shall not be ashamed in the evil time , And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied . * But the wicked shall perish ; And the enemies of the LORD , Like the splendor of the meadows , shall vanish . Into smoke they shall vanish away . * The wicked borrows and does not repay , But the righteous shows mercy and gives . * For those blessed by Him shall inherit the earth , But those cursed by Him shall be cut off . * The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD , And He delights in his way . * Though he fall , he shall not be utterly cast down ; For the LORD upholds him with His hand . * I have been young , and now am old ; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken , Nor his descendants begging bread . * He is ever merciful , and lends ; And his descendants are blessed . * Depart from evil , and do good ; And dwell forevermore . * For the LORD loves justice , And does not forsake His saints ; They are preserved forever , But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off . * The righteous shall inherit the land , And dwell in it forever . * The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom , And his tongue talks of justice . * The law of his God is in his heart ; None of his steps shall slide . * The wicked watches the righteous , And seeks to slay him . * The LORD will not leave him in his hand , Nor condemn him when he is judged . * Wait on the LORD , And keep His way , And He shall exalt you to inherit the land ; When the wicked are cut off , you shall see it . * I have seen the wicked in great power , And spreading himself like a native green tree . * Yet he passed away , and behold , he was no more ; Indeed I sought him , but he could not be found . * Mark the blameless man , and observe the upright ; For the future of that man is peace . * But the transgressors shall be destroyed together ; The future of the wicked shall be cut off . * But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD ; He is their strength in the time of trouble . * And the LORD shall help them and deliver them ; He shall deliver them from the wicked , And save them , Because they trust in Him .
