1 Don't be upset because of sinful people. Don't be jealous of those who do wrong.
2 Like grass, they will soon dry up. Like green plants, they will soon die.
3 Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live in the land and enjoy its food.
4 Find your delight in the Lord. Then he will give you everything your heart really wants.
5 Commit your life to the Lord. Here is what he will do if you trust in him.
6 He will make your godly ways shine like the dawn. He will make your honest life shine like the sun at noon.
7 Be still. Be patient. Wait for the Lord to act. Don't be upset when other people succeed. Don't be upset when they carry out their evil plans.
