Rh For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
 * Trust in the Lord, and do good;

Dwell in the land, and feed on his faithfulness.
 * Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he will give thee the desires of thy heart.

Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him, and he will bring it to pass.
 * And he will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light,

And thy justice 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, it tendeth only to evil-doing. For evil-doers shall be cut off;

But those that wait for the Lord, they shall inherit the land.
 * For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be:

Yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and he shall not be.
 * But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

Better is a little that the righteous hath than the abundance of many wicked.
 * A man's goings are established of the Lord; and he delighteth in his way.

Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;
 * For the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.

I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
 * But one passed by, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright;
 * For there is a happy end to the man of peace.

As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
 * But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
