Don't worry 'bout the wicked people, don't be jealous of those who do wrong
For like the grass they'll soon fade away, like a flower they'll wilt and die
Trust in the Lord and do good and you'll receive your reward
Take delight in God and He will
Give you your heart's desires
All that you do, do it for God
Trust in Him and He'll help you out
Your innocence will shine like the dawn; your justice like the noonday sun
Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently on Him
Don't worry 'bout them wicked people or their
Silly little schemes
The wicked draw their swords and string up their bows
To kill the oppressed, to kill all the poor
The Lord just laughs for He knows those silly fools just destroy themselves
Don't worry 'bout the wicked people, don't be jealous of those who do wrong
For like the grass they'll soon fade away, like a flower they'll wilt and die
Trust in the Lord and do good and you'll receive your reward
Take delight in God and He will
Give you your heart's desires
Hey!
Stop being angry, cool your jets!
Don't lose your temper, it won't do you no good, no no!
Those evil people will get their reward
But trust me, it's not as nice yours!
They'll all be destroyed, yeah, they'll disappear
You can look around, they won't be here, no no!
The lowly, ever-faithful people will live in peace and prosperity
The wicked draw their swords and string up their bows
To kill the oppressed, to kill all the poor
The Lord just laughs for He knows those silly fools just destroy themselves
Don't worry 'bout the wicked people, don't be jealous of those who do wrong
For like the grass they'll soon fade away, like a flower they'll wilt and die
Trust in the Lord and do good and you'll receive your reward

Give you your heart's desires
Look at those who are good and honest
The future's good if you believe His promise
But the wicked, they will all be destroyed
They got no future but eternal void
The Lord rescues the faithful ones
He's our protection from the Evil One!
He's always there and He loves us so
He'll give you shelter, don't you know?
