1 Don’t fret because of evildoers,
neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
and wither like the green herb.
3 Trust in Yahweh, and do good.
Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Also delight yourself in Yahweh,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to Yahweh.
Trust also in him, and he will do this:
6 he will make your righteousness shine out like light,
and your justice as the noon day sun.
7 Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him.
Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way,
because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath.
Don’t fret; it leads only to evildoing.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off,
but those who wait for Yahweh shall inherit the land.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more.
Yes, though you look for his place, he isn’t there.
11 But the humble shall inherit the land,
and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12 The wicked plots against the just,
and gnashes at him with his teeth.
13 The Lord will laugh at him,
for he sees 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 kill those who are upright on the path.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart.
Their bows shall be broken.
16 Better is a little that the righteous has,
than the abundance of many wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,
but Yahweh upholds the righteous.
18 Yahweh knows the days of the perfect.
Their inheritance shall be forever.
19 They shall not be disappointed in the time of evil.
In the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 But the wicked shall perish.
The enemies of Yahweh shall be like the beauty of the fields.
They will vanish—
vanish like smoke.
21 The wicked borrow, and don’t pay back,
but the righteous give generously.
22 For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land.
Those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.
23 A man’s steps are established by Yahweh.
He delights in his way.
24 Though he stumble, he shall not fall,
for Yahweh holds him up with his hand.
25 I have been young, and now am old,
yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,
nor his children begging for bread.
26 All day long he deals graciously, and lends.
His offspring is blessed.
27 Depart from evil, and do good.
Live securely forever.
28 For Yahweh loves justice,
and doesn’t forsake his saints.
They are preserved forever,
but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land,
and live in it forever.
30 The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom.
His tongue speaks justice.
31 The law of his God is in his heart.
None of his steps shall slide.
32 The wicked watch the righteous,
and seek to kill him.
33 Yahweh will not leave him in his hand,
nor condemn him when he is judged.
34 Wait for Yahweh, and keep his way,
and he will exalt you to inherit the land.
When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power,
spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
36 But he passed away, and behold, he was not.
Yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 Mark the perfect man, and see the upright,
for there is a future for the man of peace.
38 As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together.
The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is from Yahweh.
He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
40 Yahweh helps them and rescues them.
He rescues them from the wicked and saves them,
because they have taken refuge in him.

1 [{A Psalm} of David.] Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, and be not envious of them that work unrighteousness;2 for they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and fade as the green herb.3 Confide in Jehovah, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on faithfulness;4 and delight thyself in Jehovah, and he will give thee the desires of thy heart.5 Commit thy way unto Jehovah, and rely upon him: he will bring {it} to pass;6 and he will bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.7 Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him that prospereth in his way, because of the man that bringeth mischievous devices to pass.8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself: it {would be} only to do evil.9 For evil-doers shall be cut off; but those that wait on Jehovah, they shall possess the land.10 For yet a little while, and the wicked is not; and thou considerest his place, but he is not.11 But the meek shall possess the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of prosperity.12 The wicked plotteth against the righteous, and gnasheth his teeth against him.13 The Lord laugheth 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 afflicted and needy, to slay those that are upright in {the} way:15 their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.16 The little that the righteous hath is better 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 ashamed in the time of evil, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.20 For the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume, like smoke shall they consume away.21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again; but the righteous is gracious and giveth:22 for those blessed of him shall possess the land, and they that are cursed of him shall be cut off.23 The steps of a man are established by Jehovah, and he delighteth in his way:24 though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for Jehovah upholdeth his hand.25 I have been young, and now am old, and I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread:26 all the day he is gracious and lendeth, and his seed shall be a blessing.27 Depart from evil, and do good, and dwell for evermore;28 for Jehovah loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints: They are preserved for ever; but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.29 The righteous shall possess the land, and dwell therein for ever.30 The mouth of the righteous proffereth wisdom, and his tongue speaketh judgment;31 the law of his God is in his heart; his goings shall not 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 possess the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see {it}.35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading like a green tree in its native soil:36 but he passed away, and behold, he was not; and I sought him, but he was not found.37 Mark the perfect, and behold the upright, for the end of {that} man is peace;38 but the transgressors shall be destroyed together; the future of the wicked shall be cut off.39 But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah: he is their strength in the time of trouble.40 And Jehovah will help them and deliver them: he will deliver them from the wicked, and save them; for they trust in him.
