*Of David.*

## Text

[1] Do not fret over those who do evil;
do not envy those who do wrong. [2] For they wither quickly like grass
and wilt like tender plants. [3] Trust in the LORD and do good;
dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. [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 it. [6] He will bring forth your righteousness like the dawn,
your justice like the noonday sun. [7] Be still before the LORD
and wait patiently for Him;
do not fret when men prosper in their ways,
when they carry out wicked schemes. [8] Refrain from anger and abandon wrath;
do not fret—it can only bring harm. [9] For the evildoers will be cut off,
but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land. [10] Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more;
though you look for them, they will not be found. [11] But the meek will inherit the land
and delight in abundant prosperity. [12] The wicked scheme against the righteous
and gnash their teeth at them, [13] but the Lord laughs,
seeing that their day is coming. [14] The wicked have drawn the sword
and bent the bow
to bring down the poor and needy,
to slay those whose ways are upright. [15] But their swords will pierce their own hearts,
and their bows will be broken. [16] Better is the little of the righteous
than the abundance of many who are wicked. [17] For the arms of the wicked will be broken,
but the LORD upholds the righteous. [18] The LORD knows the days of the blameless,
and their inheritance will last forever. [19] In the time of evil they will not be ashamed,
and in the days of famine they will be satisfied. [20] But the wicked and enemies of the LORD
will perish like the glory of the fields.
They will vanish;
like smoke they will fade away. [21] The wicked borrow and do not repay,
but the righteous are gracious and giving. [22] Surely those He blesses will inherit the land,
but the cursed will be destroyed. [23] The steps of a man are ordered by the LORD
who takes delight in his journey. [24] Though he falls, he will not be overwhelmed,
for the LORD is holding his hand. [25] I once was young and now am old,
yet never have I seen the righteous abandoned
or their children begging for bread. [26] They are ever generous and quick to lend,
and their children are a blessing. [27] Turn away from evil and do good,
so that you will abide forever. [28] For the LORD loves justice
and will not forsake His saints.
They are preserved forever,
but the offspring of the wicked will be cut off. [29] The righteous will inherit the land
and dwell in it forever. [30] The mouth of the righteous man utters wisdom,
and his tongue speaks justice. [31] The law of his God is in his heart;
his steps do not falter. [32] Though the wicked lie in wait for the righteous,
and seek to slay them, [33] the LORD will not leave them in their power
or let them be condemned under judgment. [34] Wait for the LORD and keep His way,
and He will raise you up to inherit the land.
When the wicked are cut off,
you will see it. [35] I have seen a wicked, ruthless man
flourishing like a well-rooted native tree, [36] yet he passed away and was no more;
though I searched, he could not be found. [37] Consider the blameless and observe the upright,
for posterity awaits the man of peace. [38] But the transgressors will all be destroyed;
the future of the wicked will be cut off. [39] The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD;
He is their stronghold in time of trouble. [40] The LORD helps and delivers them;
He rescues and saves them from the wicked,
because they take refuge in Him.
