Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of
those who do wrong; for like the
grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.
Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land
and
enjoy safe pasture. Take delight
in
the Lord and he will give you
the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and
he will do this: He will make your righteous
reward shine
like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday
sun.
Be still before
the Lord and wait patiently
for
him; do not fret when
people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
Refrain from anger and
turn from wrath; do not fret —it
leads only to evil. For those who are evil will be
destroyed, but those who hope in
the Lord will
inherit the land.
A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be
found. But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy peace and prosperity.
The wicked plot against
the righteous and gnash their
teeth at
them; but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming.
The wicked draw the sword and bend the bow to bring down the poor and needy,
to slay those whose ways are upright. But their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.
to slay those whose ways are upright. But their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.
Better the little that the righteous
have than the wealth of
many wicked; for the power of the wicked will be broken, but the Lord upholds the
righteous.
The blameless spend their days under the Lord’s care, and their inheritance will endure forever. In times of
disaster they will not wither; in days of famine
they will enjoy plenty.
But the wicked will perish: Though the Lord’s enemies are like the flowers of the
field, they will be
consumed, they will go up in smoke.
The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous give generously; those the
Lord blesses will
inherit the land, but those he curses
will
be destroyed.
The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in
him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him
with his hand.
I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. They are
always generous and lend freely; their children will be a blessing.
Turn from evil and do good; then you will dwell in the land forever. For the Lord loves the
just and will not forsake his faithful ones.
Wrongdoers will be completely
destroyed, the offspring of
the wicked will perish.
The righteous
will inherit the land and dwell in it forever.
The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom, and their tongues speak what is
just. The law of their God is in their hearts; their feet do not slip.
The wicked lie in wait for
the righteous, intent on putting them to death but the Lord will not leave
them in the power of the wicked or let them be
condemned when
brought to trial.
Hope in the Lord and keep his way. He will exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are destroyed, you
will see it.
I have seen a wicked and ruthless man flourishing like
a luxuriant native tree, but he soon passed away and
was no more; though I looked for
him, he could not be found.
Consider the blameless, observe
the upright; a future awaits those who seek peace. But all
sinners will
be destroyed; there will be no future for the wicked.
The salvation of
the righteous comes from the Lord; he is their
stronghold in time of trouble. The Lord helps them
and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in
him.
