2 For like the grass which flourished, Quickly cut down [and gone] are they; And like the green and tender herb [They] wither and [must] die away.
3 Trust in the Lord, and set thy self [Wholly] to please him and do good▪ And so thou shalt dwell in the land, And [surely] have sufficient food.
4 Make thou the Lord thy chief delight, (To know and do his [holy] will) And thy (thus guided) just desires, Be sure [that then] he will fulfil.

5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; [Wholly] by trust on him depend, And he shall bring thy just designs [In time] unto a happy end.
