Trust in the Lord and do good;
    live in the land and enjoy security.(A)
Take delight in the Lord,
    and he will give you the desires of your heart.(B)

Commit your way to the Lord;
    trust in him, and he will act.(C)
He will make your vindication shine like the light
    and the justice of your cause like the noonday.(D)

Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for him;
    do not fret over those who prosper in their way,
    over those who carry out evil devices.(E)

Refrain from anger and forsake wrath.
    Do not fret—it leads only to evil.(F)
For the wicked shall be cut off,
    but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.(G)

10 Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more;
    though you look diligently for their place, they will not be there.(H)
11 But the meek shall inherit the land
    and delight themselves in abundant prosperity.(I)
