1 A Psalm of David * h1732. Fret * h2734 h8691 not thyself because of evildoers * h7489 h8688, neither be thou envious * h7065 h8762 against the workers * h6213 h8802 of iniquity * h5766.
2 For they shall soon * h4120 be cut down * h5243 h8799 like the grass * h2682, and wither * h5034 h8799 as the green * h3418 herb * h1877.
3 Trust * h982 h8798 in the LORD * h3068, and do * h6213 h8798 good * h2896; so shalt thou dwell * h7931 h8798 in the land * h776, and verily * h530 thou shalt be fed * h7462 h8798. verily: Heb. in truth, or, stableness
4 Delight * h6026 h8690 thyself also in the LORD * h3068; and he shall give * h5414 h8799 thee the desires * h4862 of thine heart * h3820.
5 Commit * h1556 h8798 thy way * h1870 unto the LORD * h3068; trust * h982 h8798 also in him; and he shall bring it to pass * h6213 h8799. Commit...: Heb. Roll thy way upon
6 And he shall bring forth * h3318 h8689 thy righteousness * h6664 as the light * h216, and thy judgment * h4941 as the noonday * h6672.
7 Rest * h1826 h8798 in the LORD * h3068, and wait patiently * h2342 h8708 for him: fret * h2734 h8691 not thyself because of him who prospereth * h6743 h8688 in his way * h1870, because of the man * h376 who bringeth * h6213 wicked devices * h4209 to pass * h6213 h8802. Rest in: Heb. Be silent to
8 Cease * h7503 h8685 from anger * h639, and forsake * h5800 h8798 wrath * h2534: fret * h2734 h8691 not thyself in any wise * h389 to do evil * h7489 h8687.
9 For evildoers * h7489 h8688 shall be cut off * h3772 h8735: but those that wait * h6960 h8802 upon the LORD * h3068, they shall inherit * h3423 h8799 the earth * h776.
10 For yet a little while * h4592, and the wicked * h7563 shall not be : yea, thou shalt diligently consider * h995 h8712 his place * h4725, and it shall not be .
11 But the meek * h6035 shall inherit * h3423 h8799 the earth * h776; and shall delight * h6026 h8694 themselves in the abundance * h7230 of peace * h7965.
12 The wicked * h7563 plotteth * h2161 h8802 against the just * h6662, and gnasheth * h2786 h8802 upon him with his teeth * h8127. plotteth: or, practiseth
13 The Lord * h136 shall laugh * h7832 h8799 at him: for he seeth * h7200 h8804 that his day * h3117 is coming * h935 h8799.
14 The wicked * h7563 have drawn out * h6605 h8804 the sword * h2719, and have bent * h1869 h8804 their bow * h7198, to cast down * h5307 h8687 the poor * h6041 and needy * h34, and to slay * h2873 h8800 such as be of upright * h3477 conversation * h1870. such...: Heb. the upright of way
15 Their sword * h2719 shall enter * h935 h8799 into their own heart * h3820, and their bows * h7198 shall be broken * h7665 h8735.
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 h8735: but the LORD * h3068 upholdeth * h5564 h8802 the righteous * h6662.
18 The LORD * h3068 knoweth * h3045 h8802 the days * h3117 of the upright * h8549: and their inheritance * h5159 shall be for ever * h5769.
19 They shall not be ashamed * h954 h8799 in the evil * h7451 time * h6256: and in the days * h3117 of famine * h7459 they shall be satisfied * h7646 h8799.
20 But the wicked * h7563 shall perish * h6 h8799, and the enemies * h341 h8802 of the LORD * h3068 shall be as the fat * h3368 of lambs * h3733: they shall consume * h3615 h8804; into smoke * h6227 shall they consume away * h3615 h8804. the fat: Heb. the preciousness
21 The wicked * h7563 borroweth * h3867 h8801, and payeth not again * h7999 h8762: but the righteous * h6662 sheweth mercy * h2603 h8802, and giveth * h5414 h8802.
22 For such as be blessed * h1288 h8794 of him shall inherit * h3423 h8799 the earth * h776; and they that be cursed * h7043 h8794 of him shall be cut off * h3772 h8735.
23 The steps * h4703 of a good man * h1397 are ordered * h3559 h8797 by the LORD * h3068: and he delighteth * h2654 h8799 in his way * h1870. ordered: or, established
24 Though he fall * h5307 h8799, he shall not be utterly cast down * h2904 h8714: for the LORD * h3068 upholdeth * h5564 h8802 him with his hand * h3027.
25 I have been young * h5288, and now am old * h2204 h8804; yet have I not seen * h7200 h8804 the righteous * h6662 forsaken * h5800 h8737, nor his seed * h2233 begging * h1245 h8764 bread * h3899.
26 He is ever * h3117 merciful * h2603 h8802, and lendeth * h3867 h8688; and his seed * h2233 is blessed * h1293. ever: Heb. all the day
27 Depart * h5493 h8798 from evil * h7451, and do * h6213 h8798 good * h2896; and dwell * h7931 h8798 for evermore * h5769.
28 For the LORD * h3068 loveth * h157 h8802 judgment * h4941, and forsaketh * h5800 h8799 not his saints * h2623; they are preserved * h8104 h8738 for ever * h5769: but the seed * h2233 of the wicked * h7563 shall be cut off * h3772 h8738.
29 The righteous * h6662 shall inherit * h3423 h8799 the land * h776, and dwell * h7931 h8799 therein for ever * h5703.
30 The mouth * h6310 of the righteous * h6662 speaketh * h1897 h8799 wisdom * h2451, and his tongue * h3956 talketh * h1696 h8762 of judgment * h4941.
31 The law * h8451 of his God * h430 is in his heart * h3820; none of his steps * h838 shall slide * h4571 h8799. steps: or, goings
32 The wicked * h7563 watcheth * h6822 h8802 the righteous * h6662, and seeketh * h1245 h8764 to slay * h4191 h8687 him.
33 The LORD * h3068 will not leave * h5800 h8799 him in his hand * h3027, nor condemn * h7561 h8686 him when he is judged * h8199 h8736.
34 Wait * h6960 h8761 on the LORD * h3068, and keep * h8104 h8798 his way * h1870, and he shall exalt * h7311 h8787 thee to inherit * h3423 h8800 the land * h776: when the wicked * h7563 are cut off * h3772 h8736, thou shalt see * h7200 h8799 it .
35 I have seen * h7200 h8804 the wicked * h7563 in great power * h6184, and spreading * h6168 h8693 himself like a green * h7488 bay tree * h249. a green...: or, a green tree that groweth in his own soil
36 Yet he passed away * h5674 h8799, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought * h1245 h8762 him, but he could not be found * h4672 h8738.
37 Mark * h8104 h8798 the perfect * h8535 man , and behold * h7200 h8798 the upright * h3477: for the end * h319 of that man * h376 is peace * h7965.
38 But the transgressors * h6586 h8802 shall be destroyed * h8045 h8738 together * h3162: the end * h319 of the wicked * h7563 shall be cut off * h3772 h8738.
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 h8799 them, and deliver * h6403 h8762 them: he shall deliver * h6403 h8762 them from the wicked * h7563, and save * h3467 h8686 them, because they trust * h2620 h8804 in him.
