1 Don’t be upset [worried; angry] because of evil people. Don’t be jealous of those who do wrong [Proverbs 24:1, Proverbs 24:19],
2 because like the grass, they will soon [quickly] dry up [wither]. Like green plants, they will soon die [fade] away.
3 Trust [Have confidence in] the Lord [Proverbs 3:5] and do good. Live [Reside; Settle] in the land and feed on truth [or find reliable pastureland].
4 Enjoy serving the Lord, and he will give you what you want [the requests of your heart].
5 Depend on [Commit your way to] the Lord; trust [have confidence in] him, and he will take care of you [Proverbs 16:3; 1 Peter 5:7].
6 Then your goodness [righteousness] will shine like the sun [ light], and your fairness [justice] like the noonday sun.
7 Wait [Be quiet before] and trust [wait for] the Lord. Don’t be upset [worried; angry] when others get rich [with the prosperity/success of their way] or when someone else’s plans succeed [or they do evil deeds].
8 Don’t get angry [Hold back from anger; Abandon wrath]. Don’t be upset [worried; angry]; it only leads to trouble [or evil].
9 Evil people will be sent away [cut off], but those who trust [wait/pin their hope on] the Lord will inherit the land.
10 In a little while the wicked will be no more. You may look for them, but they will be gone [or no more].
11 People who are not proud [The humble/meek] will inherit the land [Matthew 5:5] and will enjoy complete peace [or much prosperity].
