King James Version (KJV) 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 the LORD, and do good; [so] shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. 4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; 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 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. 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 the LORD, 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 The Lord 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 the LORD upholdeth the righteous. 18 The LORD 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 the LORD [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 the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD 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 the LORD 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 God [is] in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. 32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. 33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. 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]. 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 the LORD: [he is] their strength in the time of trouble. 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. Young's Literal Translation (YLT) 1 By David. Do not fret because of evil doers, Be not envious against doers of iniquity, 2 For as grass speedily they are cut off, And as the greenness of the tender grass do fade. 3 Trust in Jehovah, and do good, Dwell [in] the land, and enjoy faithfulness, 4 And delight thyself on Jehovah, And He giveth to thee the petitions of thy heart. 5 Roll on Jehovah thy way, And trust upon Him, and He worketh, 6 And hath brought out as light thy righteousness, And thy judgment as noon-day. 7 Be silent for Jehovah, and stay thyself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making prosperous his way, Because of a man doing wicked devices. 8 Desist from anger, and forsake fury, Fret not thyself only to do evil. 9 For evil doers are cut off, As to those waiting on Jehovah, they possess the land. 10 And yet a little, and the wicked is not, And thou hast considered his place, and it is not. 11 And the humble do possess the land, And they have delighted themselves In the abundance of peace. 12 The wicked is devising against the righteous, And gnashing against him his teeth. 13 The Lord doth laugh at him, For He hath seen that his day cometh. 14 A sword have the wicked opened, And they have trodden their bow, To cause to fall the poor and needy, To slaughter the upright of the way. 15 Their sword doth enter into their own heart, And their bows are shivered. 16 Better [is] the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked. 17 For the arms of the wicked are shivered, And Jehovah is sustaining the righteous. 18 Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect, And their inheritance is -- to the age. 19 They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And in days of famine they are satisfied. 20 But the wicked perish, and the enemies of Jehovah, As the preciousness of lambs, Have been consumed, In smoke they have been consumed. 21 The wicked is borrowing and repayeth not, And the righteous is gracious and giving. 22 For His blessed ones do possess the land, And His reviled ones are cut off. 23 From Jehovah [are] the steps of a man, They have been prepared, And his way he desireth. 24 When he falleth, he is not cast down, For Jehovah is sustaining his hand. 25 Young I have been, I have also become old, And I have not seen the righteous forsaken, And his seed seeking bread. 26 All the day he is gracious and lending, And his seed [is] for a blessing. 27 Turn aside from evil, and do good, and dwell to the age. 28 For Jehovah is loving judgment, And He doth not forsake His saintly ones, To the age they have been kept, And the seed of the wicked is cut off. 29 The righteous possess the land, And they dwell for ever on it. 30 The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And his tongue speaketh judgment. 31 The law of his God [is] his heart, His steps do not slide. 32 The wicked is watching for the righteous, And is seeking to put him to death. 33 Jehovah doth not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him in his being judged. 34 Look unto Jehovah, and keep His way, And He doth exalt thee to possess the land, In the wicked being cut off -- thou seest! 35 I have seen the wicked terrible, And spreading as a green native plant, 36 And he passeth away, and lo, he is not, And I seek him, and he is not found! 37 Observe the perfect, and see the upright, For the latter end of each [is] peace. 38 And transgressors were destroyed together, The latter end of the wicked was cut off. 39 And the salvation of the righteous [is] from Jehovah, Their strong place in a time of adversity. 40 And Jehovah doth help them and deliver them, He delivereth them from the wicked, And saveth them, Because they trusted in Him!
