Keeping a balance in today's world

I think this psalm is especially for us today to keep things in right perspective.

"Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the L-RD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the L-RD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the L-RD;trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. Rest in the L-RD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wiseItalic to do evil; For evildoers shall be cut off but those that wait upon the L-RD, they shall inherit the earth, For yet a little while and the wicked shall not be : yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be . But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth, The L-RD shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming. The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy,and to slay such as be of upright conversation. Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the L-RD upholdeth the righteous..." The rest of the psalm is found in Psalm 37 starting at verse 18 There are many more promises that we can rest on knowing G-d sees and is in control no matter what vain man tells us.
