1
A Psalm of David[H1732]. Fret[H2734] not thyself because of evildoers[H7489], neither be thou envious[H7065] against the workers[H6213] of iniquity[H5766].
2
For they shall soon[H4120] be cut down[H5243] like the grass[H2682], and wither[H5034] as the green[H3418]herb[H1877].
3Trust[H982] in the LORD[H3068], and do[H6213]good[H2896]; so shalt thou dwell[H7931] in the land[H776], and verily[H530] thou shalt be fed[H7462].
4Delight[H6026] thyself also in the LORD[H3068]; and he shall give[H5414] thee the desires[H4862] of thine heart[H3820].
5Commit[H1556] thy way[H1870] unto the LORD[H3068]; trust[H982] also in him; and he shall bring it to pass[H6213].
6
And he shall bring forth[H3318] thy righteousness[H6664] as the light[H216], and thy judgment[H4941] as the noonday[H6672].
7Rest[H1826] in the LORD[H3068], and wait patiently[H2342] for him: fret[H2734] not thyself because of him who prospereth[H6743] in his way[H1870], because of the man[H376] who bringeth[H6213] wicked devices[H4209] to pass[H6213].
8Cease[H7503] from anger[H639], and forsake[H5800]wrath[H2534]: fret[H2734] not thyself in any wise[H389] to do evil[H7489].
9
For evildoers[H7489] shall be cut off[H3772]: but those that wait[H6960] upon the LORD[H3068], they shall inherit[H3423] the earth[H776].
10
For yet a little while[H4592], and the wicked[H7563] shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider[H995] his place[H4725], and it shall not be.
11
But the meek[H6035] shall inherit[H3423] the earth[H776]; and shall delight[H6026] themselves in the abundance[H7230] of peace[H7965].
12
The wicked[H7563]plotteth[H2161] against the just[H6662], and gnasheth[H2786] upon him with his teeth[H8127].
13
The Lord[H136] shall laugh[H7832] at him: for he seeth[H7200] that his day[H3117] is coming[H935].
14
The wicked[H7563] have drawn out[H6605] the sword[H2719], and have bent[H1869] their bow[H7198], to cast down[H5307] the poor[H6041] and needy[H34], and to slay[H2873] such as be of upright[H3477]conversation[H1870].
15
Their sword[H2719] shall enter[H935] into their own heart[H3820], and their bows[H7198] shall be broken[H7665].
16
A little[H4592] that a righteous man[H6662] hath is better[H2896] than the riches[H1995] of many[H7227]wicked[H7563].
17
For the arms[H2220] of the wicked[H7563] shall be broken[H7665]: but the LORD[H3068]upholdeth[H5564] the righteous[H6662].
18
The LORD[H3068]knoweth[H3045] the days[H3117] of the upright[H8549]: and their inheritance[H5159] shall be for ever[H5769].
19
They shall not be ashamed[H954] in the evil[H7451]time[H6256]: and in the days[H3117] of famine[H7459] they shall be satisfied[H7646].
20
But the wicked[H7563] shall perish[H6], and the enemies[H341] of the LORD[H3068] shall be as the fat[H3368] of lambs[H3733]: they shall consume[H3615]; into smoke[H6227] shall they consume[H3615]away[H3615].
21
The wicked[H7563]borroweth[H3867], and payeth not again[H7999]: but the righteous[H6662] sheweth mercy[H2603], and giveth[H5414].
22
For such as be blessed[H1288] of him shall inherit[H3423] the earth[H776]; and they that be cursed[H7043] of him shall be cut off[H3772].
23
The steps[H4703] of a good man[H1397] are ordered[H3559] by the LORD[H3068]: and he delighteth[H2654] in his way[H1870].
24
Though he fall[H5307], he shall not be utterly cast down[H2904]: for the LORD[H3068]upholdeth[H5564] him with his hand[H3027].
25
I have been young[H5288], and now am old[H2204]; yet have I not seen[H7200] the righteous[H6662]forsaken[H5800], nor his seed[H2233]begging[H1245]bread[H3899].
26
He is ever[H3117]merciful[H2603], and lendeth[H3867]; and his seed[H2233] is blessed[H1293].
27Depart[H5493] from evil[H7451], and do[H6213]good[H2896]; and dwell[H7931] for evermore[H5769].
28
For the LORD[H3068]loveth[H157]judgment[H4941], and forsaketh[H5800] not his saints[H2623]; they are preserved[H8104] for ever[H5769]: but the seed[H2233] of the wicked[H7563] shall be cut off[H3772].
29
The righteous[H6662] shall inherit[H3423] the land[H776], and dwell[H7931] therein for ever[H5703].
30
The mouth[H6310] of the righteous[H6662]speaketh[H1897]wisdom[H2451], and his tongue[H3956]talketh[H1696] of judgment[H4941].
31
The law[H8451] of his God[H430] is in his heart[H3820]; none of his steps[H838] shall slide[H4571].
32
The wicked[H7563]watcheth[H6822] the righteous[H6662], and seeketh[H1245] to slay[H4191] him.
33
The LORD[H3068] will not leave[H5800] him in his hand[H3027], nor condemn[H7561] him when he is judged[H8199].
34Wait[H6960] on the LORD[H3068], and keep[H8104] his way[H1870], and he shall exalt[H7311] thee to inherit[H3423] the land[H776]: when the wicked[H7563] are cut off[H3772], thou shalt see[H7200] it.
35
I have seen[H7200] the wicked[H7563] in great power[H6184], and spreading[H6168] himself like a green[H7488] bay tree[H249].
36
Yet he passed away[H5674], and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought[H1245] him, but he could not be found[H4672].
37Mark[H8104] the perfect[H8535]man[H376], and behold[H7200] the upright[H3477]: for the end[H319] of that man[H376] is peace[H7965].
38
But the transgressors[H6586] shall be destroyed[H8045]together[H3162]: the end[H319] of the wicked[H7563] shall be cut off[H3772].
39
But the salvation[H8668] of the righteous[H6662] is of the LORD[H3068]: he is their strength[H4581] in the time[H6256] of trouble[H6869].
40
And the LORD[H3068] shall help[H5826] them, and deliver[H6403] them: he shall deliver[H6403] them from the wicked[H7563], and save[H3467] them, because they trust[H2620] in him.
