A song of David. Don't get upset about evil people. Don't be jealous of those who do wrong. |
2
|
They are like grass and other green plants that dry up quickly and then die. |
3
|
So trust in the Lord and do good. Live on your land and be dependable. |
4
|
Enjoy serving the Lord, and he will give you whatever you ask for. |
5
|
Depend on the Lord. Trust in him, and he will help you. |
6
|
He will make it as clear as day that you are right. Everyone will see that you are being fair. |
7
|
Trust in the Lord and wait quietly for his help. Don't be angry when people make evil plans and succeed. |
8
|
Don't become so angry and upset that you, too, want to do evil. |
9
|
The wicked will be destroyed, but those who call to the Lord for help will get the land he promised. |
10
|
In a short time there will be no more evil people. You can look for them all you want, but they will be gone. |
11
|
Humble people will get the land God promised, and they will enjoy peace. |
12
|
The wicked plan bad things for those who are good. They show their teeth in anger at them. |
13
|
But our Lord will laugh at them. He will make sure they get what they deserve. |
14
|
The wicked draw their swords to kill the poor and the helpless. They aim their arrows to murder all who live right. |
15
|
But their bows will break, and their swords will pierce their own hearts. |
16
|
A few good people are better than a large crowd of those who are evil. |
17
|
The wicked will be destroyed, but the Lord cares for those who are good. |
18
|
The Lord protects pure people all their life. Their reward will continue forever. |
19
|
When trouble comes, good people will not be destroyed. When times of hunger come, good people will have plenty to eat. |
20
|
But evil people are the Lord's enemies, and they will be destroyed. Their valleys will dry up and burn. They will be destroyed completely. |
21
|
The wicked borrow money and never pay it back. But good people are kind and generous. |
22
|
Everyone the Lord blesses will get the land he promised. Everyone the Lord curses will be destroyed. |
23
|
The Lord shows us how we should live, and he is pleased when he sees people living that way. |
24
|
If they stumble, they will not fall, because the Lord reaches out to steady them. |
25
|
I was young, and now I am old, but I have never seen good people left with no one to help them; I have never seen their children begging for food. |
26
|
They are kind and generous, and their children are a blessing. |
27
|
Stop doing anything evil and do good, and you will always have a place to live. |
28
|
The Lord loves what is right, and he will never leave his followers without help. He will always protect them, but he will destroy the families of the wicked. |
29
|
Good people will get the land God promised and will live on it forever. |
30
|
Those who do what is right give good advice. Their decisions are always fair. |
31
|
They have learned God's teachings, and they will never stop living right. |
32
|
The wicked are always looking for ways to kill good people. |
33
|
But the Lord will not let the wicked defeat them. He will not let good people be judged guilty. |
34
|
Do what the Lord says, and wait for his help. He will reward you and give you the land he promised. You will see the wicked being forced to leave. |
35
|
I once saw a wicked man who was powerful. He was like a strong, healthy tree. |
36
|
But then he was gone. I looked for him, but I could not find him. |
37
|
Be pure and honest. Peace loving people will have many descendants. |
38
|
But those who break the law will be destroyed completely. And their descendants will be forced to leave the land. |
39
|
The Lord saves those who are good. When they have troubles, he is their strength. |
40
|
The Lord helps good people and rescues them. They depend on him, so he rescues them from the wicked. |
