C Commit your life to the Lord,/ trust in him and he will act, * so that your justice breaks forth like the light,/ your cause like the noon-day sun.

82. A Be still before the Lord and wait in patience; * do not fret over those who prosper in their way,/ over those who carry out evil plots to bring down the needy and the poor. C Calm your anger and forget your rage; / do not fret, it only leads to evil. * For those who do evil shall perish;/ the patient shall inherit the land. A Little longer-- / and the wicked shall have gone./ Look at their place, they are not there. * But the humble shall own the land and enjoy the fullness of peace. ( Ant. )

I But all the wicked shall perish and all the enemies of the Lord. * They are like the beauty of the meadows,/ they shall vanish,/ they shall vanish like the smoke. II The wicked borrows without repaying,/ but the just is generous and gives. * Those blessed by the Lord shall own the land,/ but those he has cursed shall be destroyed.

85. I The Lord guides the steps of all and makes safe the path of those he loves, * Though they stumble they shall never fall for the Lord holds them by the hand. ( Ant. ) C I was young and now I am old,/ but I have never seen the just forsaken/ nor their children begging for bread. * All the day they are generous and lend and their children become a blessing. A Then run away from evil and do good/ and you shall have a home for ever, * for the Lord loves justice and will never forsake his friends.

86. C The unjust shall be wiped out for ever and the children of the wicked destroyed. * The just shall inherit the land;/ there they shall live for ever. A The mouths of the just utter wisdom and their lips speak what is right; * the law of God is in their hearts,/ their steps shall be saved from stumbling. C The wicked watch for the just and seek occasion to kill them. * The Lord will not leave them in their power/nor let them be condemned when they are judged. Ant. Commit your life + to the Lord and trust in him. (Alleluia)

A See the just, / mark the upright,/ for the peaceful a future lies in store, * but sinners shall be destroyed./ No future lies in store for the wicked. C The salvation of the just comes from the Lord, / their stronghold in time of distress. *The Lord helps them and delivers them and saves them:/ for their refuge is in him. ( ant. ) Ant. Commit your life + to the Lord and trust in him. (Alleluia)
