1Fret not thyself because of evil-doers,
2For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
3Trust in Jehovah, and do good;
4Delight thyself also in Jehovah;
5Commit thy way unto Jehovah;
6And he will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light,
7Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him:
8Cease from anger, and forsake wrath:
9For evil-doers shall be cut off;
10For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be:
11But the meek shall inherit the land,
12The wicked plotteth against the just,
13The Lord will laugh at him;
14The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow,
15Their sword shall enter into their own heart,
16Better is a little that the righteous hath
17For the arms of the wicked shall be broken;
18Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect;
19They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil;
20But the wicked shall perish,
21The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again;
22For such as are blessed of him shall inherit the land;
23A man’s goings are established of Jehovah;
24Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;
25I have been young, and now am old;
26All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth;
27Depart from evil, and do good;
28For Jehovah loveth justice,
29The righteous shall inherit the land,
30The mouth of the righteous talketh of wisdom,
31The law of his God is in his heart;
32The wicked watcheth the righteous,
33Jehovah will not leave him in his hand,
34Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way,
35I have seen the wicked in great power,
36But one passed by, and, lo, he was not:
37Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright;
38As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together:
39But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah:
40And Jehovah helpeth them, and rescueth them:
