³ Believe in the Eternal, and do what is good—
    live in the land He provides; roam, and rest in God’s faithfulness.
⁴ Take great joy in the Eternal!
    His gifts are coming, and they are all your heart desires!

⁵ Commit your path to the Eternal; let Him direct you.
    Put your confidence in Him, and He will follow through with you.
⁶ He will spread out righteousness for you
    as a sunrise spreads radiance over the land;
    He will deliver justice for you into the light of the high sun.

⁷ Be still. Be patient. Expect the Eternal to arrive and set things right.
    Don’t get upset when you see the worldly ones rising up the ladder.
    Don’t be bothered by those who are anchored in wicked ways.

⁸ So turn from anger. Don’t rage,
    and don’t worry—these ways frame the doorway to evil.
⁹ Besides, those who act from evil motives will be cut off from the land;
    but those who wait, hoping in the Eternal, will enjoy its riches.

¹⁰ You’ll see . . . the wicked won’t know what hit them;
    you’ll blink, and they’ll be gone;
    you’ll go out looking for them, but you won’t find them.
¹¹ But the humble-hearted will inherit the land;
    they will take pleasure in its peace and enjoy its abundance.

³⁹ The Eternal saves His faithful;
    He lends His strength in hard times;
⁴⁰ The Eternal comes and frees them—
    frees them from evildoers and saves them for eternity—
    simply because they seek shelter in Him.
