1 A Psalm of David himself. Do not choose to imitate the malicious; neither should you envy those who work iniquity.
2 For they will quickly wither away like dry grass, and in like manner to kitchen herbs, they will soon droop.
3 Hope in the Lord and do good, and dwell in the land, and so you shall be pastured with its riches.
4 Delight in the Lord, and he will grant to you the petitions of your heart.
