5 Devolve the Cares of all thy way ‖ ⟨p. 85⟩on the ETERNAL God; ‖ and place thy confidence in Him, ‖ so He'll accomplish it. ‖
6 He shall therewith like as the Light ‖ bring forth thy Righteousness; ‖ and with meridian lustre shall ‖ Judgments be wrought for thee. ‖
7 On the ETERNAL God be thou ‖ a silent waiter still; ‖ and with unceasing patience wait ‖ expecting Him to work. ‖ Fret not thy self because of him ‖ who prospers in his way; ‖ or because of the Man who brings ‖ wicked designs to pass. ‖
8 Desist from anger, and dismiss ‖ fierce indignation: ‖ Do not wax hot; but still be sure ‖ to do no evil thing. ‖
