He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season
And its leaf does not wither;
And in whatever he does, he prospers.

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

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.

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

May there be abundance of grain in the earth on top of the mountains;
Its fruit will wave like the cedars of Lebanon;
And may those from the city flourish like vegetation of the earth.

Why have You broken down its hedges,
So that all who pass that way pick its fruit?

“I relieved his shoulder of the burden,
His hands were freed from the basket.

They will still yield fruit in old age;
They shall be full of sap and very green,

He waters the mountains from His upper chambers;
The earth is satisfied with the fruit of His works.

And ate up all vegetation in their land,
And ate up the fruit of their ground.

He gave them also the lands of the nations,
That they might take possession of the fruit of the peoples’ labor,

Behold, children are a gift of the Lord,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.

When you shall eat of the fruit of your hands,
You will be happy and it will be well with you.

The Lord has sworn to David
A truth from which He will not turn back:
“Of the fruit of your body I will set upon your throne.

Mountains and all hills;
Fruit trees and all cedars;
