(A)Commit[a] your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass.
(B)He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,
And your justice as the noonday.

Rest in the Lord, (C)and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who (D)prospers in his way,
Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
(E)Cease from anger, and forsake wrath;
(F)Do not fret—it only causes harm.

For evildoers shall be [b]cut off;
But those who wait on the Lord,
They shall (G)inherit the earth.
