OF DAVID. Fret not yourself because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers! |
2
|
For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb. |
3
|
Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. |
4
|
Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. |
5
|
Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act. |
6
|
He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday. |
7
|
Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices! |
8
|
Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil. |
9
|
For the evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land. |
10
|
In just a little while, the wicked will be no more; though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there. |
11
|
But the meek shall inherit the land and delight themselves in abundant peace. |
12
|
The wicked plots against the righteous and gnashes his teeth at him, |
13
|
but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he sees that his day is coming. |
14
|
The wicked draw the sword and bend their bows to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose way is upright; |
15
|
their sword shall enter their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. |
16
|
Better is the little that the righteous has than the abundance of many wicked. |
17
|
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous. |
18
|
The LORD knows the days of the blameless, and their heritage will remain forever; |
19
|
they are not put to shame in evil times; in the days of famine they have abundance. |
20
|
But the wicked will perish; the enemies of the LORD are like the glory of the pastures; they vanish- like smoke they vanish away. |
21
|
The wicked borrows but does not pay back, but the righteous is generous and gives; |
22
|
for those blessed by the LORD shall inherit the land, but those cursed by him shall be cut off. |
23
|
The steps of a man are established by the LORD, when he delights in his way; |
24
|
though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the LORD upholds his hand. |
25
|
I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread. |
26
|
He is ever lending generously, and his children become a blessing. |
27
|
Turn away from evil and do good; so shall you dwell forever. |
28
|
For the LORD loves justice; he will not forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off. |
29
|
The righteous shall inherit the land and dwell upon it forever. |
30
|
The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice. |
31
|
The law of his God is in his heart; his steps do not slip. |
32
|
The wicked watches for the righteous and seeks to put him to death. |
33
|
The LORD will not abandon him to his power or let him be condemned when he is brought to trial. |
34
|
Wait for the LORD and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land; you will look on when the wicked are cut off. |
35
|
I have seen a wicked, ruthless man, spreading himself like a green laurel tree. |
36
|
But he passed away, and behold, he was no more; though I sought him, he could not be found. |
37
|
Mark the blameless and behold the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace. |
38
|
But transgressors shall be altogether destroyed; the future of the wicked shall be cut off. |
39
|
The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; he is their stronghold in the time of trouble. |
40
|
The LORD helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him. |
