5Commit thy way unto Jehovah; Trust also in him, and he will bring it to pass.

6And he will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, And thy justice as the noon-day.

7Rest in Jehovah, 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.

8Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: Fret not thyself, [it tendeth] only to evil-doing.

9For evil-doers shall be cut off; But those that wait for Jehovah, they shall inherit the land.

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

11But the meek shall inherit the land, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
