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 <FI>in<Fi> 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 <FI>is<Fi> 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 <FI>are<Fi> 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 <FI>is<Fi> 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 <FI>is<Fi> 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 <FI>is<Fi> peace.

38 - And transgressors were destroyed together, The latter end of the wicked was cut off.

39 - And the salvation of the righteous <FI>is<Fi> 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!
