1 ¶ [A Psalm] of David. Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou
envious against the workers of iniquity.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3 Trust in YAHUAH, and do good; [so] shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily
thou shalt be fed.
4 Delight thyself also in YAHUAH; and he shall give thee the desires of thine
heart.
5 Commit thy way unto YAHUAH; trust also in him; and he shall bring [it] to
pass.
6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as
the noonday.
7 ¶ Rest in YAHUAH, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of
him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to
pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon YAHUAH, they shall
inherit the earth.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked [shall] not [be]: yea, thou shalt
diligently consider his place, and it [shall] not [be].
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the
abundance of peace.
12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13 YAHUAH shall laugh 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 poor and needy, [and] to slay such as be of upright conversation.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16 A little that a righteous man hath [is] better than the riches of many
wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but YAHUAH upholdeth the
righteous.
18 YAHUAH knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for
ever.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they
shall be satisfied.
20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of YAHUAH [shall be] as the
fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
21 ¶ The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth
mercy, and giveth.
22 For [such as be] blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and [they that be]
cursed of him shall be cut off.
23 The steps of a [good] man are ordered by YAHUAH: and he delighteth in his
way.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for YAHUAH upholdeth
[him with] his hand.
25 I have been young, and [now] am old; yet have I not seen the righteous
forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
26 [He is] ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed [is] blessed.
27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
28 For YAHUAH loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are
preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of
judgment.
31 The law of his YAHUAH [is] in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
33 YAHUAH will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
34 ¶ Wait on YAHUAH, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the
land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see [it].
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay
tree.
36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he [was] not: yea, I sought him, but he could
not be found.
37 Mark the perfect [man], and behold the upright: for the end of [that] man
[is] peace.
38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked
shall be cut off.
39 But the salvation of the righteous [is] of YAHUAH: [he is] their strength
in the time of trouble.
40 And YAHUAH shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from
the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
