1. | 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. |
