1 "Do not fret because of evil men
      or be envious of those who do wrong;
2 for like the grass they will soon wither,
      like green plants they will soon die away.
3 Trust in the LORD and do good;
      dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Delight yourself in the LORD
      and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the LORD;
      trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
      the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him;
      do not fret when men succeed in their ways,
      when they carry out their wicked schemes.
8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
      do not fret—it leads only to evil.
9 For evil men will be cut off,
      but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land."
