Of
David.
Do
not
fret over
those
who
do
evil;
do
not envy
those
who
do
wrong
.
Fret not thyself
because
of
evil-doers,
Neither
be
thou
envious
against
them
that
work
unrighteousness
.
For they wither
quickly
like grass and wilt
like
tender
plants
.
For they shall
soon
be
cut
down
like the
grass ,
And wither
as
the
green
herb
.

justice like
the noonday
sun
.
And
he will make
thy
righteousness to
go
forth
as
the light
, And
thy
justice as
the noon-day
.
Be
still
before
the
LORD
and wait patiently for Him ;
do
not
fret when
men
prosper
in their
ways
, when
they
carry
out
wicked schemes
.
Rest
in
Jehovah,
and wait patiently for him :
Fret not

prospereth
in his
way
, Because
of
the
man
who
bringeth
wicked devices
to
pass
.

evil-doing

the Lord laughs,
seeing
that their
day is coming.

bow to bring
down the poor and needy, to slay those
whose
ways
are upright.

the sword ,

bent their
bow ,

pierce
their own hearts

enemies of Jehovah
shall
be
as

; In
smoke shall
they consume
away.

I sought
him
, but
he could not be found.

be cut off.

; He rescueth
them from the wicked, and
saveth
them,
Because they have
taken
refuge in him. Psalm
