Psalm

²for like the grass they will soon wither,like green plants they will soon die away. ³Trust in the Lord and do good;dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. ⁴Take delight in the Lord,and he will give you the desires of your heart. ⁵Commit your way to the Lord;trust in him and he will do this: ⁶he will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,your vindication like the noonday sun. ⁷Be still before the Lordand wait patiently for him;do not fret when people succeed in their ways,when they carry out their wicked schemes. ⁸Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;do not fret – it leads only to evil.
