1 For evil-doers fret thou not
Thyself unquietly,
Nor do thou envy bear to those
That work iniquity.

2 For even like unto the grass,
Soon be cut down shall they;
And, like the green and tender herb,
They wither shall away.

3 Set thou thy trust upon the Lord,
And be thou doing good;
And so thou in the land shall dwell,
And verily have food

4 Delight thyself in God: He'll give
Thine heart's desire to thee.
Thy way to God commit, Him trust,
It bring to pass shall He.

5 And like unto the light, He shall
Thy righteousness display;
And He thy judgement shall bring forth
Like noon-tide of the day.
