| 1 [[David's. [An Alphabetical Psalm.]]] Burn not with vexation because of evil-doers, Be not envious of the workers of perversity; |
|
| 2 For, like grass, soon shall they wither, and, like green herbage, shall they fade. |
|
| 3 Trust in Yahweh, and do good, Dwell in the land, and feed on fidelity; |
|
| 4 Yea, rest thy delight on Yahweh, that he may give thee the requests of thy heart. |
|
| 5 Roll on Yahweh thy way, Trust also in him, and, he, will effectually work:
|
|
| 6 So will he bring forth, as the light, thy righteousness, and thy vindication as the noonday. |
|
| |
|
| 7 Be resigned to Yahweh, yea wait with longing for him; Burn not with vexation at him who prospereth in his way,–at the man who doeth wickedness. |
|
| 8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath, Burn not with vexation–[it would be] only to do evil; |
|
| 9 For, evil doers, shall be cut off, but, as for them who wait for Yahweh, they, shall inherit the earth. |
|
| 10 Yet a little, therefore, and the lawless one shall not be, Yea thou shalt look about, over his place–and he shall have vanished! |
|
| 11 But, the patient oppressed-ones, shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves over the abundance of prosperity. |
|
| 12 Plotting is the lawless one, against the just, and gnashing upon him with his teeth. |
|
| 13 My Lord, shall laugh at him, for he seeth, that his day, will come. |
|
| 14 A sword, have the lawless, drawn out, and have trodden their bow,–To bring down the oppressed and the needy, To slaughter the upright in life: |
|
| 15 Their sword, shall enter into their own heart, and, their bow, shall be broken. |
|
| 16 Better the little of the righteous man, than the abundance of the lawless who are mighty; |
|
| 17 For, the arms of the lawless, shall be broken, But Yahweh is upholding the righteous. |
|
| 18 Yahweh knoweth the days of the blameless, that, their inheritance, unto times age-abiding, shall continue. |
|
| 19 They shall not be ashamed in the time of calamity, and, in the days of famine, shall they be filled. |
|
| 20 For, the lawless, shall perish, and, the foes of Yahweh, be like the glory of the meadows, They have vanished! In smoke, have they vanished! |
|
| |
|
| 21 A lawless man borroweth, and will not repay, But, a righteous man, showeth favour and giveth; |
|
| 22 For, such as are blessed of him, shall inherit the earth, But, the cursed of him, shall be cut off. |
|
| 23 From Yahweh, are the steps of a man made firm, When, with his way, he is well pleased: |
|
| 24 Though he fall, he shall not be hurled headlong, For, Yahweh, is holding his hand. |
|
| 25 Young, have I been, moreover am old,–Yet have I not seen, A righteous man forsaken, Nor his seed begging bread: |
|
| 26 All day long, is he showing favour and lending, his seed, therefore, shall have a blessing. |
|
| 27 Turn from evil, and do good, and so settle down, unto times age-abiding. |
|
| 28 For, Yahweh, loveth justice, and will not forsake his men of lovingkindness, Unto times age-abiding, have the perverse been destroyed,–and the seed of the lawless, been cut off. |
|
| 29 The righteous, shall inherit the earth, that they may settle down, to futurity, thereupon. |
|
| 30 The mouth of a righteous man, softly uttereth wisdom, and, his tongue, speaketh justice: |
|
| 31 The law of his God, is in his heart, his steps shall not swerve. |
|
| 32 The lawless man, lieth in wait, for the just, and seeketh to put him to death: |
|
| 33 Yahweh, will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him, when he is judged. |
|
| |
|
| 34 Wait for Yahweh, and observe thou his path, that he may exalt thee, to inherit the earth, On the cutting off of the lawless, shalt thou look. |
|
| 35 I have seen a lawless man, a tyrant, and spreading himself out, like a cedar in Lebanon; |
|
| 36 Then I passed by, and lo! he had vanished! Yea I sought him, but he could not be found. |
|
| 37 Mark the blameless man, and behold the upright, for there is a hereafter for the man of peace; |
|
| 38 But, transgressors, are to be destroyed together, the hereafter of lawless men, is to be cut off. |
|
| 39 But, the deliverance of the righteous, is from Yahweh, their refuge in a time of distress. |
|
| 40 Thus hath Yahweh helped them, thus hath he delivered them,–He will deliver them from the lawless, and will save them, because they have sought refuge in him. |
