Of David.{HR}Fret not thyself because of the evildoers;{HR}Be not envious at the workers of iniquity.
For like grass they are speedily cut off,{HR}And like the greenness of the tender herb they do fade.
Trust in Jehovah and do good,{HR}Inhabit the land and feed upon truth.
Delight thyself also in Jehovah,{HR}And he will give thee the requests of thy heart.
Roll thy way upon Jehovah;{HR}Trust also in him, and he will do [it].
And he will bring forth thy righteousness as the light,{HR}And thy judgment as the noon-day.
Be silent to Jehovah and wait for him;{HR}Fret not thyself because of him who maketh his way to prosper,{HR}Because of the man who doeth wicked devices.
Cease from anger and forsake wrath;{HR}Fret not thyself only to do evil.
For evil-doers shall be cut off,{HR}But those who wait for Jehovah,{HR}They shall inherit the earth.
And yet a little and the wicked [man] is not,{HR}And thou considerest his place,{HR}And he is no more.
But the meek shall inherit the earth{HR}And delight themselves in abundance of peace.
The wicked [man] deviseth evil against the righteous [man]{HR}And gnasheth his teeth upon him.
The Lord laugheth at him,{HR}For he hath seen that his day is come.
A sword have the wicked drawn,{HR}And they have bent their bow,{HR}To cause the poor and needy to fall,{HR}To slay the upright in way.
Their sword shall come into their own heart{HR}And their bows shall be broken.
Better [is] a little to the righteous [man]{HR}Than the abundance of many wicked.
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,{HR}But Jehovah upholdeth the righteous.
Jehovah knoweth the days of the upright,{HR}And their inheritance shall be forever.
They shall not be ashamed in the time of evil,{HR}And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
For the wicked shall perish{HR}And the enemies of Jehovah as the precious part of lambs :{HR}They have vanished, into smoke they have vanished.
The wicked [man] borroweth and payeth not,{HR}But the righteous [man] hath compassion and giveth.
For his blessed ones shall inherit the earth,{HR}But his accursed ones shall be cut off.
By Jehovah the steps of a man are established,{HR}And he delighteth in his way.
If he falleth, he is not cast down;{HR}For Jehovah upholdeth his hand.
I have been a youth, I have also become old:{HR}Yet have I not seen the righteous [man] forsaken,{HR}Nor his seed begging for bread.
All the day [is he] being gracious and lending;{HR}And his seed [is] for a blessing.
Depart from evil and do good, and dwell forever.
For Jehovah loveth justice{HR}And forsaketh not his holy ones;{HR}They are preserved forever,{HR}But the seed of the wicked is cut off.
The righteous shall inherit the earth{HR}And shall dwell forever upon it.
The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom{HR}And his tongue speaketh justice.
The law of his God [is] in his heart;{HR}None of his steps slip.
The wicked [man] lieth in wait for the righteous [one]{HR}And seeketh to kill him.
Jehovah will not leave him in his hand,{HR}And will not condemn him when he is judged.
Wait for Jehovah and keep his ways,{HR}And he will exalt thee to inherit the land;{HR}When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see [it].
I have seen the wicked [man] strong{HR}And spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
And he passeth away and behold he is not;{HR}And I seek him, and he is not found.
Mark the perfect [man]{HR}And behold the upright [man],{HR}For the end to [that] man [is] peace.
But those who transgress are destroyed together;{HR}The end of the wicked hath been cut off.
And the salvation of the righteous [is] from Jehovah,{HR}[He is] their refuge in the time of trouble.
And Jehovah helpeth them and delivereth them;{HR}He will deliver them and save them{HR}Because they have trusted in him.
