1 Fret not yourself because of evil- | doers;*
be not envious of wrong- | doers!
2 For they will soon fade | like the grass*
and wither like the | green herb.
3 Trust in the Lord, | and do good;*
dwell in the land
and befriend | faithfulness.
4 Delight yourself | in the Lord,*
and he will give you the
desires | of your heart.
5 Commit your way | to the Lord;*
trust in him, and | he will act.
6 He will bring forth your righteousness | as the light,*
and your justice as the | noonday.
7 Be still before the Lord and wait
patiently | for him;*
fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man
who carries out evil de- | vices!
—Psalm 37:1-7
