3Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.4Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. 5Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this:6He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun. 7Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. 8Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil.9For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.
