Trust in the Lord and do good;
    dwell in the land(A) and enjoy safe pasture.(B)
Take delight(C) in the Lord,
    and he will give you the desires of your heart.(D)

Commit your way to the Lord;
    trust in him(E) and he will do this:
He will make your righteous reward(F) shine like the dawn,(G)
    your vindication like the noonday sun.

Be still(H) before the Lord
    and wait patiently(I) for him;
do not fret(J) when people succeed in their ways,(K)
    when they carry out their wicked schemes.(L)

Refrain from anger(M) and turn from wrath;
    do not fret(N)—it leads only to evil.
For those who are evil will be destroyed,(O)
    but those who hope(P) in the Lord will inherit the land.(Q)

10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more;(R)
    though you look for them, they will not be found.
11 But the meek will inherit the land(S)
    and enjoy peace and prosperity.(T)

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.

10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
