A Psalm of David.
Fret
not thyself because of evildoers,
neither be thou envious
against 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;
so shalt thou dwell
in the land,
and verily
thou shalt be fed.
Delight
thyself also in the LORD;
and he shall give
thee the desires
of thine heart.
Commit
thy way
unto the LORD;
trust
also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
And he shall bring forth
thy righteousness
as the light,
and thy judgment
as the noonday.
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.

Cease
from anger,
and forsake
wrath:
fret
not thyself in any wise
to do evil.
For evildoers
shall be cut off:
but those that wait
upon the LORD,
they shall inherit
the earth.
For yet a little while,
and the wicked
shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider
his place,
and it shall not be.
But the meek
shall inherit
the earth;
and shall delight
themselves in the abundance
of peace.
The wicked
plotteth
against the just,
and gnasheth
upon him with his teeth.
The Lord
shall laugh
at him: for he seeth
that his day
is coming.
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.
Their sword
shall enter
into their own heart,
and their bows
shall be broken.
A little
that a righteous man
hath is better
than the riches
of many
wicked.
For the arms
of the wicked
shall be broken:
but the LORD
upholdeth
the righteous.
The LORD
knoweth
the days
of the upright:
and their inheritance
shall be for ever.
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
shall be as the fat
of lambs:
they shall consume;
into smoke
shall they consume away.
The wicked
borroweth,
and payeth not again:
but the righteous
sheweth mercy,
and giveth.
For such as be blessed
of him shall inherit
the earth;
and they that be cursed
of him shall be cut off.
The steps
of a good man
are ordered
by the LORD:
and he delighteth
in his way.
Though he fall,
he shall not be utterly cast down:
for the LORD
upholdeth
him with his hand.
I have been young,
and now am old;
yet have I not seen
the righteous
forsaken,
nor his seed
begging
bread.
He is ever
merciful,
and lendeth;
and his seed
is blessed.
Depart
from evil,
and do
good;
and dwell
for evermore.
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.
The righteous
shall inherit
the land,
and dwell
therein for ever.
The mouth
of the righteous
speaketh
wisdom,
and his tongue
talketh
of judgment.
The law
of his God
is in his heart;
none of his steps
shall slide.
The wicked
watcheth
the righteous,
and seeketh
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
thee to inherit
the land:
when the wicked
are cut off,
thou shalt see
it.
I have seen
the wicked
in great power,
and spreading
himself like a green
bay tree.
Yet he passed away,
and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought
him, but he could not be found.
Mark
the perfect
man, and behold
the upright:
for the end
of that man
is peace.
But the transgressors
shall be destroyed
together:
the end
of the wicked
shall be cut off.

But the salvation
of the righteous
is of 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.
