| 1 By David. |
|
| Do not fret because of evil doers, Be not envious against doers of iniquity, |
|
| 2 For as grass speedily they are cut off, And as the greenness of the tender grass do fade. |
|
| 3 Trust in Jehovah, and do good, Dwell [in] the land, and enjoy faithfulness, |
|
| 4 And delight thyself on Jehovah, And He giveth to thee the petitions of thy heart. |
|
| 5 Roll on Jehovah thy way, And trust upon Him, and He worketh, |
|
| 6 And hath brought out as light thy righteousness, And thy judgment as noon-day. |
|
| 7 Be silent for Jehovah, and stay thyself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making prosperous his way, Because of a man doing wicked devices. |
|
| 8 Desist from anger, and forsake fury, Fret not thyself only to do evil. |
|
| 9 For evil doers are cut off, As to those waiting on Jehovah, they possess the land. |
|
| 10 And yet a little, and the wicked is not, And thou hast considered his place, and it is not. |
|
| 11 And the humble do possess the land, And they have delighted themselves In the abundance of peace. |
|
| 12 The wicked is devising against the righteous, And gnashing against him his teeth. |
|
| 13 The Lord doth laugh at him, For He hath seen that his day cometh. |
|
| 14 A sword have the wicked opened, And they have trodden their bow, To cause to fall the poor and needy, To slaughter the upright of the way. |
|
| 15 Their sword doth enter into their own heart, And their bows are shivered. |
|
| 16 Better [is] the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked. |
|
| 17 For the arms of the wicked are shivered, And Jehovah is sustaining the righteous. |
|
| 18 Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect, And their inheritance is to the age. |
|
| 19 They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And in days of famine they are satisfied. |
|
| 20 But the wicked perish, and the enemies of Jehovah, As the preciousness of lambs, Have been consumed, In smoke they have been consumed. |
|
| 21 The wicked is borrowing and repayeth not, And the righteous is gracious and giving. |
|
| 22 For His blessed ones do possess the land, And His reviled ones are cut off. |
|
| 23 From Jehovah [are] the steps of a man, They have been prepared, And his way he desireth. |
|
| 24 When he falleth, he is not cast down, For Jehovah is sustaining his hand. |
|
| 25 Young I have been, I have also become old, And I have not seen the righteous forsaken, And his seed seeking bread. |
|
| 26 All the day he is gracious and lending, And his seed [is] for a blessing. |
|
| 27 Turn aside from evil, and do good, and dwell to the age. |
|
| 28 For Jehovah is loving judgment, And He doth not forsake His saintly ones, To the age they have been kept, And the seed of the wicked is cut off. |
|
| 29 The righteous possess the land, And they dwell for ever on it. |
|
| 30 The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And his tongue speaketh judgment. |
|
| 31 The law of his God [is] his heart, His steps do not slide. |
|
| 32 The wicked is watching for the righteous, And is seeking to put him to death. |
|
| 33 Jehovah doth not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him in his being judged. |
|
| 34 Look unto Jehovah, and keep His way, And He doth exalt thee to possess the land, In the wicked being cut off thou seest! |
|
| 35 I have seen the wicked terrible, And spreading as a green native plant, |
|
| 36 And he passeth away, and lo, he is not, And I seek him, and he is not found! |
|
| 37 Observe the perfect, and see the upright, For the latter end of each [is] peace. |
|
| 38 And transgressors were destroyed together, The latter end of the wicked was cut off. |
|
| 39 And the salvation of the righteous [is] from Jehovah, Their strong place in a time of adversity. |
|
| 40 And Jehovah doth help them and deliver them, He delivereth them from the wicked, And saveth them, Because they trusted in Him! |
