[1] FRET not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
[1] ---
[2] For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
[2] ---
[3] Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
[3] ---
[4] Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
[4] ---
[5] Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
[5] ---
[6] And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
[6] ---
[7] Rest in the Lord, 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.
[7] ---
[8] Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
[8] ---
[9] For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.
[9] ---
[10] For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
[10] ---
[11] But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
[11] ---
[12] The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
[12] ---
[13] The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
[13] ---
[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.
[14] ---
[15] Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
[15] ---
[16] A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.
[16] ---
[17] For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord upholdeth the righteous.
[17] ---
[18] The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
[18] ---
[19] They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
[19] ---
[20] But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
[20] ---
[21] The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.
[21] ---
[22] For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
[22] ---
[23] The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.
[23] ---
[24] Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.
[24] ---
[25] I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
[25] ---
[26] He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
[26] ---
[27] Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
[27] ---
[28] For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
[28] ---
[29] The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
[29] ---
[30] The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
[30] ---
[31] The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
[31] ---
[32] The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
[32] ---
[33] The Lord will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
[33] ---
[34] Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
[34] ---
[35] I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
[35] ---
[36] Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
[36] ---
[37] Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
[37] ---
[38] But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
[38] ---
[39] But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
[39] ---
[40] And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
