Delight yourself in the Lord;
And He will give you the desires of your heart.

But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;
He is their strength in time of trouble.

A Psalm of David.
Do not fret because of evildoers,
Be not envious toward wrongdoers.

The Lord helps them and delivers them;
He delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
Because they take refuge in Him.

Trust in the Lord and do good;
Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.

The steps of a man are established by the Lord,
And He delights in his way.

Commit your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him, and He will do it.

Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.

But the humble will inherit the land
And will delight themselves in abundant prosperity.

I have been young and now I am old,
Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken
Or his descendants begging bread.

For evildoers will be cut off,
But those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land.

Cease from anger and forsake wrath;
Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing.

Yet a little while and the wicked man will be no more;
And you will look carefully for his place and he will not be there.

The wicked borrows and does not pay back,
But the righteous is gracious and gives.

The righteous will inherit the land
And dwell in it forever.

The wicked plots against the righteous
And gnashes at him with his teeth.

For the Lord loves justice
And does not forsake His godly ones;
They are preserved forever,
But the descendants of the wicked will be cut off.

Wait for the Lord and keep His way,
And He will exalt you to inherit the land;
When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.

The Lord knows the days of the blameless,
And their inheritance will be forever.

The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom,
And his tongue speaks justice.

But the wicked will perish;
And the enemies of the Lord will be like the glory of the pastures,
They vanish—like smoke they vanish away.

Mark the blameless man, and behold the upright;
For the man of peace will have a posterity.

When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong,
Because the Lord is the One who holds his hand.

Better is the little of the righteous
Than the abundance of many wicked.

Depart from evil and do good,
So you will abide forever.

I have seen a wicked, violent man
Spreading himself like a luxuriant tree in its native soil.

For those blessed by Him will inherit the land,
But those cursed by Him will be cut off.

He will bring forth your righteousness as the light
And your judgment as the noonday.

For they will wither quickly like the grass
And fade like the green herb.

The law of his God is in his heart;
His steps do not slip.

But transgressors will be altogether destroyed;
The posterity of the wicked will be cut off.

The Lord laughs at him,
For He sees his day is coming.

They will not be ashamed in the time of evil,
And in the days of famine they will have abundance.

All day long he is gracious and lends,
And his descendants are a blessing.

The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bow
To cast down the afflicted and the needy,
To slay those who are upright in conduct.

For the arms of the wicked will be broken,
But the Lord sustains the righteous.

The wicked spies upon the righteous
And seeks to kill him.

Then he passed away, and lo, he was no more;
I sought for him, but he could not be found.

Their sword will enter their own heart,
And their bows will be broken.

The Lord will not leave him in his hand
Or let him be condemned when he is judged.
