Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. 4 Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart's desires. 5 Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you. 6 He will make your innocence as clear as the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun. 7 Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act. Don't worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes. 8 Stop your anger! Turn from your rage! Do not envy others- it only leads to harm. 9 For the wicked will be destroyed, but those who trust in the Lord will possess the land 18 Day by day the Lord takes care of the , and they will receive a reward that lasts forever. 19 They will survive through hard times; 23 The steps of the godly are directed by the Lord. He delights in every detail of their lives. 24 Though they stumble, they will not fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand 28 For the Lord loves justice, and he will never abandon the godly. He will keep them safe forever, 34Don't be impatient for the Lord to act! Travel steadily along his path. 37Look at those who are honest and good, for a wonderful future lies before those who love peace. 38 But the wicked will be destroyed; they have no future. 39 The Lord saves the godly; he is their fortress in times of trouble. 40 The Lord helps them, rescuing them from the wicked. He saves them, and they find shelter in him.
