(A)Delight yourself in the Lord,
    and he will (B)give you the desires of your heart.

(C)Commit your way to the Lord;
    (D)trust in him, and he will act.
(E)He will bring forth your righteousness as the light,
    and your justice as (F)the noonday.

(G)Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;
    (H)fret not yourself over the one who (I)prospers in his way,
    over the man who carries out evil devices!

(J)Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath!
    (K)Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.
(L)For the evildoers shall be cut off,
    but those who wait for the Lord shall (M)inherit the land.

10 In (N)just a little while, the wicked will be no more;
    though you look carefully at (O)his place, he will not be there.
11 But (P)the meek shall inherit the land
    and delight themselves in (Q)abundant peace.

Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.

10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
