3Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed thyself with truthfulness.
4And delight thyself in the Lord, and he will give thee the wishes of thy heart.
5Commit thy way unto the Lord, and trust in him: and he will accomplish it.
6And he will bring forth as the light thy righteousness, and the justice of thy cause as the noonday.
7Be silent before the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who practices wicked devices.
8Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9For evil-doers shall be cut off; but those that wait upon the Lord, these—shall truly inherit the land.
10For yet but for a little while, and the wicked shall be no more: yea, thou wilt look carefully at his place, and he shall not be there.
11But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves because of the abundance of peace.
12The wicked purposeth evil against the just, and gnasheth against him with his teeth.
13The Lord will laugh at him; for he seeth that his day is coming.
14The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cause the poor and needy to fall, and to slaughter such as are of an upright course of life.
15But their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16Better is the little that the righteous hath, than the great riches of many wicked.
17For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the upholder of the righteous is the Lord.
18The Lord regardeth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall endure for ever.
19They shall not be made ashamed in the time of unhappiness; and in the days of famine shall they be satisfied.
20But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the beauty of the meadow: they pass away; in smoke they pass away.
21The wicked borroweth, and repayeth not; but the righteous is beneficent, and giveth.
22For those blessed of him shall inherit the land; and those cursed of him shall be cut off.
23By the Lord are the steps of the righteous man established; and he findeth pleasure in his course of life.
