- 1. {[A Psalm] of David.}<br>
Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, and be not envious of them that work unrighteousness; - 2. for they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and fade as the green herb.
- 3. Confide in Jehovah, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on faithfulness;
- 4. and delight thyself in Jehovah, and he will give thee the desires of thy heart.
- 5. Commit thy way unto Jehovah, and rely upon him: he will bring [it] to pass;
- 6. and he will bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
- 7. Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him that prospereth in his way, because of the man that bringeth mischievous devices to pass.
- 8. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself: it [would be] only to do evil.
- 9. For evil-doers shall be cut off; but those that wait on Jehovah, they shall possess the land.
- 10. For yet a little while, and the wicked is not; and thou considerest his place, but he is not.
- 11. But the meek shall possess the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of prosperity.
- 12. The wicked plotteth against the righteous, and gnasheth his teeth against him.
- 13. The Lord laugheth at him; for he seeth that his day is coming.
- 14. The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the afflicted and needy, to slay those that are upright in [the] way:
- 15. their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
- 16. The little that the righteous hath is better than the abundance of many wicked;
- 17. for the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Jehovah upholdeth the righteous.
- 18. Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect; and their inheritance shall be for ever:
- 19. they shall not be ashamed in the time of evil, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
- 20. For the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume, like smoke shall they consume away.
- 21. The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again; but the righteous is gracious and giveth:
- 22. for those blessed of him shall possess the land, and they that are cursed of him shall be cut off.
- 23. The steps of a man are established by Jehovah, and he delighteth in his way:
- 24. though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for Jehovah upholdeth his hand.
- 25. I have been young, and now am old, and I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread:
- 26. all the day he is gracious and lendeth, and his seed shall be a blessing.
- 27. Depart from evil, and do good, and dwell for evermore;
- 28. for Jehovah loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints: They are preserved for ever; but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
- 29. The righteous shall possess the land, and dwell therein for ever.
- 30. The mouth of the righteous proffereth wisdom, and his tongue speaketh judgment;
- 31. the law of his God is in his heart; his goings shall not slide.
- 32. The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him:
- 33. Jehovah will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
- 34. Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, and he will exalt thee to possess the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see [it].
- 35. I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading like a green tree in its native soil:
- 36. but he passed away, and behold, he was not; and I sought him, but he was not found.
- 37. Mark the perfect, and behold the upright, for the end of [that] man is peace;
- 38. but the transgressors shall be destroyed together; the future of the wicked shall be cut off.
- 39. But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
- 40. And Jehovah will help them and deliver them: he will deliver them from the wicked, and save them; for they trust in him.
