1. A Psalm of David himself. Do not choose to imitate the malicious; neither should you envy those who work iniquity.
2. For they will quickly wither away like dry grass, and in like manner to kitchen herbs, they will soon droop.
3. Hope in the Lord and do good, and dwell in the land, and so you shall be pastured with its riches.
4. Delight in the Lord, and he will grant to you the petitions of your heart.
