2For they will quickly be cut down like grass, and become dry like the green plants.
3Have faith in the Lord, and do good; be at rest in the land, and go after righteousness.
4So will your delight be in the Lord, and he will give you your heart's desires.
5Put your life in the hands of the Lord; have faith in him and he will do it.
6And he will make your righteousness be seen like the light, and your cause like the shining of the sun.
7Take your rest in the Lord, waiting quietly for him; do not be angry because of the man who does well in his evil ways, and gives effect to his bad designs.
8Put an end to your wrath and be no longer bitter; do not give way to angry feeling which is a cause of sin.
9For the evil-doers will be cut off: but those who have faith in the Lord will have the earth for their heritage.
