2For they shall soone bee cut downe like grasse, and shall wither as the greene herbe.
3Trust thou in the Lord and do good: dwell in the land, and thou shalt be fed assuredly.
4And delite thy selfe in the Lord, and hee shall giue thee thine hearts desire.
5Commit thy way vnto the Lord, and trust in him, and he shall bring it to passe.
6And he shall bring foorth thy righteousnes as the light, and thy iudgement as the noone day.
7Waite patiently vpon the Lord and hope in him: fret not thy selfe for him which prospereth in his way: nor for the man that bringeth his enterprises to passe.
8Cease from anger, and leaue off wrath: fret not thy selfe also to doe euill.
9For euill doers shalbe cut off, and they that wait vpon the Lord, they shall inherite the land.
10Therefore yet a litle while, and the wicked shall not appeare, and thou shalt looke after his place, and he shall not be found.
11But meeke men shall possesse the earth, and shall haue their delite in the multitude of peace.
12The wicked practiseth against the iust, and gnasheth his teeth against him.
13But the Lord shall laugh him to scorne: for he seeth, that his day is comming.
14The wicked haue drawen their sworde, and haue bent their bowe, to cast downe the poore and needie, and to slay such as be of vpright conuersation.
15But their sword shall enter into their owne heart, and their bowes shalbe broken.
16A small thing vnto the iust man is better, then great riches to the wicked and mightie.
17For the armes of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord vpholdeth the iust men.
18The Lord knoweth the dayes of vpright men, and their inheritance shall bee perpetuall.
19They shall not be confounded in the perilous time, and in the daies of famine they shall haue ynough.
20But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be consumed as the fatte of lambes: euen with the smoke shall they consume away.
21The wicked boroweth and payeth not againe. but the righteous is mercifull, and giueth.
22For such as be blessed of God, shall inherite the lande, and they that be cursed of him, shalbe cut off.
23The pathes of man are directed by the Lord: for he loueth his way.
24Though he fall, hee shall not be cast off: for the Lord putteth vnder his hand.
25I haue beene yong, and am olde: yet I sawe neuer the righteous forsaken, nor his seede begging bread.
26But hee is euer mercifull and lendeth, and his seede enioyeth the blessing.
