1. Do not grow angry over wrongdoers, nor envy those who practice injustice.

4. Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5. Entrust your way to Yahweh; rely on him, and he will carry it out.
6. He will make your righteousness appear like light, and your justice like noonday.
7. Be still before Yahweh and long for him; do not burn with anger over one succeeding in his way, over the man who carries out schemes.
8. Let anger subside and abandon wrath; do not grow incensed, for it only leads to evildoing.
9. For wrongdoers will be cut off, but those who wait for Yahweh—they shall inherit the land.
10. Yet a little longer, and the ungodly is no more. You will scrutinize his position, and he is not.

17. For the arms of the wicked will be broken, while Yahweh upholds the righteous.
18. Yahweh knows the days of the blameless, and their inheritance will endure forever.
19. They will not be put to shame in a time of evil, and in days of famine they will be full.
20. For the wicked will perish, and the enemies of Yahweh will be like the glory of lambs—they vanish, vanish like smoke.
21. The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous are gracious and give.

26. He is gracious every day and lends; his seed is blessed.
