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 thyself also in the Lord; and he will give thee the desires of thy heart.
Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him, and he will bring it to pass.
And he will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light,
And thy justice 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, it tendeth only to evil-doing. For evil-doers shall be cut off;
But those that wait for the Lord, they shall inherit the land.
For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be:
Yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and he shall not be.
But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
Better is a little that the righteous hath than the abundance of many wicked.
A man's goings are established of 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 seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
But one passed by, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright;
For there is a happy end to the man of peace.
As for transgressors, they 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 stronghold in the time of trouble.
