Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.
And wither as the green herb.
Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass.
And your justice as the noonday.
Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
Do not fret—it only causes harm.
But those who wait on the Lord,
They shall inherit the earth.
Indeed, you will look carefully for his place,
But it shall be no more.
And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
And gnashes at him with his teeth.
For He sees that his day is coming.
And have bent their bow,
To cast down the poor and needy,
To slay those who are of upright conduct.
And their bows shall be broken.
Is better than the riches of many wicked.
But the Lord upholds the righteous.
And their inheritance shall be forever.
And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
And the enemies of the Lord,
Like the splendor of the meadows, shall vanish.
Into smoke they shall vanish away.
But the righteous shows mercy and gives.
But those cursed by Him shall be [c]cut off.
And He delights in his way.
For the Lord upholds him with His hand.
Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,
Nor his descendants begging bread.
And his descendants are blessed.
And dwell forevermore.
And does not forsake His saints;
They are preserved forever,
But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off.
And dwell in it forever.
And his tongue talks of justice.
None of his steps shall [f]slide.
And seeks to slay him.
Nor condemn him when he is judged.
And keep His way,
And He shall exalt you to inherit the land;
When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
And spreading himself like a native green tree.
Indeed I sought him, but he could not be found.
For the future of that man is peace.
The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
He is their strength in the time of trouble.
He shall deliver them from the wicked,
And save them,
Because they trust in Him.
