This is a Psalm written by David.  It contrasts the godly to the ungodly.  I have highlighted those words meant for the people that follow God.  They tell of what God wants you to do and His promise to you. 

1 Do not fret because of evildoers,
         Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
         And wither as the green herb.
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good;
         Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
4 Delight yourself also in the LORD,
         And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the LORD,
         Trust also in Him,
         And He shall bring it to pass.
6 He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,
         And your justice as the noonday.
7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him;
         Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
         Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath;
         Do not fret—it only causes harm.
