He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
    and the justice of your cause, like the noonday.[a]
Wait quietly for the Lord
    and be patient until he comes.
Do not fret over the man who prospers
    because of his evil schemes.
Refrain from anger and turn away from wrath;
    do not fret—it does nothing but harm.
