Psalm title
- 1A Psalm of David. Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.
- 2For they shall soon wither like the grass, and fade as the green herb.
- 3Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and cherish faithfulness.
- 4So shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and He shall give thee the petitions of thy heart.
- 5Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in Him, and He will bring it to pass.
- 6And He will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, and thy right as the noonday.
- וְהוֹצִ֣יא
- כָא֣וֹר
- צִדְקֶ֑ךָ
- וּ֝מִשְׁפָּטֶ֗ךָ
- כַּֽצָּהֳרָֽיִם׃
- 7Resign thyself unto 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.
- 8Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself, it tendeth only to evil-doing.
- 9For evil-doers shall be cut off; but those that wait for the LORD, they shall inherit the land.
- 10And yet a little while, and the wicked is no more; yea, thou shalt look well at his place, and he is not.
- 11But the humble shall inherit the land, and delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
- 12The wicked plotteth against the righteous, and gnasheth at him with his teeth.
- 13The Lord doth laugh at him; for He seeth that his day is coming.
- 14The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow; to cast down the poor and needy, to slay such as are upright in the way;
- 15Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
- 16Better is a little that the righteous hath than the abundance of many wicked.
- 17For the arms of the wicked shall be broken; but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
- 18The LORD knoweth the days of them that are wholehearted; and their inheritance shall be for ever.
- 19They shall not be ashamed in the time of evil; and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
- 20For the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs--they shall pass away in smoke, they shall pass away.

- 21The wicked borroweth, and payeth not; but the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.
- 22For such as are blessed of Him shall inherit the land; and they that are cursed of Him shall be cut off.
- 23It is of the LORD that a man's goings are established; and He delighted in his way.
- 24Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the LORD upholdeth his hand.
- 25I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

- 29The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
- 30The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, and his tongue speaketh justice.
- 31The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps slide.
- 32The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
- 33The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor suffer him to be condemned when he is judged.
- 34Wait for the LORD, and keep His way, and He will exalt thee to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
- 35I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a leafy tree in its native soil.
- 36But one passed by, and, lo, he was not; yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

- 37Mark the man of integrity, and behold the upright; for there is a future for the man of peace.
- 38But transgressors shall be destroyed together; the future of the wicked shall be cut off.
- 39But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD; He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
- 40And the LORD helpeth them, and delivereth them; He delivereth them from the wicked, and saveth them, because they have taken refuge in Him.
