1 Do not be preoccupied with evildoers.Do not envy those who do wicked things.
2 They will quickly dry up like grassand wither away like green plants.
3 Trust the Lord, and do good things.Live in the land, and practice being faithful.
4 Be happy with the Lord,and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Entrust your ways to the Lord.Trust him, and he will act ⌊on your behalf⌋.
6 He will make your righteousness shine like a light,your just cause like the noonday sun.
7 Surrender yourself to the Lord, and wait patiently for him.Do not be preoccupied with ⌊an evildoer⌋ who succeeds in his waywhen he carries out his schemes.
