[A Psalm] of David.
1
Fret not thyself because of
evil-doers,
Neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.
2
For they shall soon be cut
down like the grass,
And wither as the green herb.
3
Trust in Jehovah, and do
good;
Dwell in the land, and feed on [his] faithfulness.
4
Delight thyself also in
Jehovah;
And he will give thee the desires of thy heart.
5
Commit thy way unto Jehovah;
Trust also in him, and he will bring it to pass.
6
And he will make thy
righteousness to go forth as the
light,
And thy justice as the noon-day.
7
Rest in Jehovah, 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.
8
Cease from anger, and forsake
wrath:
Fret not thyself, [it tendeth] only to evil-doing.
9
For evil-doers shall be cut
off;
But those that wait for Jehovah, they shall inherit the land.
10
For yet a little while, and
the wicked shall not be:
Yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and he shall not
be.
11
But the meek shall inherit
the land,
And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12
The wicked plotteth against
the just,
And gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13
The Lord will laugh 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 poor and needy,
To slay such as are upright in the way.
15
Their sword shall enter into
their own heart,
And their bows shall be broken.
16
Better is a little that the
righteous hath
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 put to
shame in the time of evil;
And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
2
0 But the wicked shall
perish,
And the enemies of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambs:
They shall consume;
In smoke shall they consume away.
21
The wicked borroweth, and
payeth not again;
But the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.
22
For such as are blessed of
him shall inherit the land;
And they that are cursed of him shall be cut off.
23
A man's goings are
established of Jehovah;
And he delighteth in his way.
24
Though he fall, he shall not
be utterly cast down;
For Jehovah upholdeth him with his hand.
25
I have been young, and now am
old;
Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken,
Nor his seed begging bread.
26
All the day long he dealeth
graciously, and lendeth;
And his seed is blessed.
27
Depart from evil, and do
good;
And dwell for evermore.
28
For Jehovah loveth justice,
And forsaketh not his saints;
They are preserved for ever:
But the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
29
The righteous shall inherit
the land,
And dwell therein for ever.
30
The mouth of the righteous
talketh of wisdom,
And his tongue speaketh justice.
31
The law of his God is in his
heart;
None of his steps shall 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 inherit the land:
When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
35
I have seen the wicked in
great power,
And spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
36
But one passed by, and, lo,
he was not:
Yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37
Mark the perfect man, and
behold the upright;
For there is a [happy] end to the man of peace.
38
As for transgressors, they
shall be destroyed together;
The end of the wicked shall be cut off.
39
But the salvation of the
righteous is of Jehovah;
He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
40
And Jehovah helpeth them, and
rescueth them;
He rescueth them from the wicked, and saveth them,
Because they have taken refuge in him.
