A Psalm of David{H1732}. Fret{H2734}{(H8691)} not thyself because of evildoers{H7489}{H8688)}, neither be thou envious{H7065}{H8762)} against the workers{H6213}{H8802)} of iniquity{H5766}.

For they shall soon{H4120} be cut down{H5243}{(H8799)} like the grass{H2682}, and wither{H5034}{H8799)} as the green{H3418} herb{H1877}.

Trust{H982}{(H8798)} in the LORD{H3068}, and do{H6213}{H8798)} good{H2896}; so shalt thou dwell{H7931}{H8798)} in the land{H776}, and verily{H530} thou shalt be fed{H7462}{H8798)}.

Delight{H6026}{(H8690)} thyself also in the LORD{H3068}; and he shall give{H5414}{H8799)} thee the desires{H4862} of thine heart{H3820}.

Commit{H1556}{(H8798)} thy way{H1870} unto the LORD{H3068}; trust{H982}{H8798)} also in him; and he shall bring it to pass{H6213}{H8799)}.

And he shall bring forth{H3318}{(H8689)} thy righteousness{H6664} as the light{H216}, and thy judgment{H4941} as the noonday{H6672}.

Rest{H1826}{(H8798)} in the LORD{H3068}, and wait patiently{H2342}{H8708)} for him: fret{H2734}{H8691)} not thyself because of him who prospereth{H6743}{H8688)} in his way{H1870}, because of the man{H376} who bringeth{H6213} wicked devices{H4209} to pass{H6213}{H8802)}.

Cease{H7503}{(H8685)} from anger{H639}, and forsake{H5800}{H8798)} wrath{H2534}: fret{H2734}{H8691)} not thyself in any wise{H389} to do evil{H7489}{H8687)}.

For evildoers{H7489}{(H8688)} shall be cut off{H3772}{H8735)}: but those that wait{H6960}{H8802)} upon the LORD{H3068}, they shall inherit{H3423}{H8799)} the earth{H776}.

For yet a little while{H4592}, and the wicked{H7563} shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider{H995}{(H8712)} his place{H4725}, and it shall not be.

But the meek{H6035} shall inherit{H3423}{(H8799)} the earth{H776}; and shall delight{H6026}{H8694)} themselves in the abundance{H7230} of peace{H7965}.

The wicked{H7563} plotteth{H2161}{(H8802)} against the just{H6662}, and gnasheth{H2786}{H8802)} upon him with his teeth{H8127}.

The Lord{H136} shall laugh{H7832}{(H8799)} at him: for he seeth{H7200}{H8804)} that his day{H3117} is coming{H935}{H8799)}.

The wicked{H7563} have drawn out{H6605}{(H8804)} the sword{H2719}, and have bent{H1869}{H8804)} their bow{H7198}, to cast down{H5307}{H8687)} the poor{H6041} and needy{H34}, and to slay{H2873}{H8800)} such as be of upright{H3477} conversation{H1870}.

Their sword{H2719} shall enter{H935}{(H8799)} into their own heart{H3820}, and their bows{H7198} shall be broken{H7665}{H8735)}.

A little{H4592} that a righteous man{H6662} hath is better{H2896} than the riches{H1995} of many{H7227} wicked{H7563}.

For the arms{H2220} of the wicked{H7563} shall be broken{H7665}{(H8735)}: but the LORD{H3068} upholdeth{H5564}{H8802)} the righteous{H6662}.

The LORD{H3068} knoweth{H3045}{(H8802)} the days{H3117} of the upright{H8549}: and their inheritance{H5159} shall be for ever{H5769}.

They shall not be ashamed{H954}{(H8799)} in the evil{H7451} time{H6256}: and in the days{H3117} of famine{H7459} they shall be satisfied{H7646}{H8799)}.

But the wicked{H7563} shall perish{H6}{(H8799)}, and the enemies{H341}{H8802)} of the LORD{H3068} shall be as the fat{H3368} of lambs{H3733}: they shall consume{H3615}{H8804)}; into smoke{H6227} shall they consume away{H3615}{H8804)}.

The wicked{H7563} borroweth{H3867}{(H8801)}, and payeth not again{H7999}{H8762)}: but the righteous{H6662} sheweth mercy{H2603}{H8802)}, and giveth{H5414}{H8802)}.

For such as be blessed{H1288}{(H8794)} of him shall inherit{H3423}{H8799)} the earth{H776}; and they that be cursed{H7043}{H8794)} of him shall be cut off{H3772}{H8735)}.

The steps{H4703} of a good man{H1397} are ordered{H3559}{(H8797)} by the LORD{H3068}: and he delighteth{H2654}{H8799)} in his way{H1870}.

Though he fall{H5307}{(H8799)}, he shall not be utterly cast down{H2904}{H8714)}: for the LORD{H3068} upholdeth{H5564}{H8802)} him with his hand{H3027}.

I have been young{H5288}, and now am old{H2204}{(H8804)}; yet have I not seen{H7200}{H8804)} the righteous{H6662} forsaken{H5800}{H8737)}, nor his seed{H2233} begging{H1245}{H8764)} bread{H3899}.

He is ever{H3117} merciful{H2603}{(H8802)}, and lendeth{H3867}{H8688)}; and his seed{H2233} is blessed{H1293}.

Depart{H5493}{(H8798)} from evil{H7451}, and do{H6213}{H8798)} good{H2896}; and dwell{H7931}{H8798)} for evermore{H5769}.

For the LORD{H3068} loveth{H157}{(H8802)} judgment{H4941}, and forsaketh{H5800}{H8799)} not his saints{H2623}; they are preserved{H8104}{H8738)} for ever{H5769}: but the seed{H2233} of the wicked{H7563} shall be cut off{H3772}{H8738)}.

The righteous{H6662} shall inherit{H3423}{(H8799)} the land{H776}, and dwell{H7931}{H8799)} therein for ever{H5703}.

The mouth{H6310} of the righteous{H6662} speaketh{H1897}{(H8799)} wisdom{H2451}, and his tongue{H3956} talketh{H1696}{H8762)} of judgment{H4941}.

The law{H8451} of his God{H430} is in his heart{H3820}; none of his steps{H838} shall slide{H4571}{(H8799)}.

The wicked{H7563} watcheth{H6822}{(H8802)} the righteous{H6662}, and seeketh{H1245}{H8764)} to slay{H4191}{H8687)} him.

The LORD{H3068} will not leave{H5800}{(H8799)} him in his hand{H3027}, nor condemn{H7561}{H8686)} him when he is judged{H8199}{H8736)}.

Wait{H6960}{(H8761)} on the LORD{H3068}, and keep{H8104}{H8798)} his way{H1870}, and he shall exalt{H7311}{H8787)} thee to inherit{H3423}{H8800)} the land{H776}: when the wicked{H7563} are cut off{H3772}{H8736)}, thou shalt see{H7200}{H8799)} it.

I have seen{H7200}{(H8804)} the wicked{H7563} in great power{H6184}, and spreading{H6168}{H8693)} himself like a green{H7488} bay tree{H249}.

Yet he passed away{H5674}{(H8799)}, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought{H1245}{H8762)} him, but he could not be found{H4672}{H8738)}.

Mark{H8104}{(H8798)} the perfect{H8535} man, and behold{H7200}{H8798)} the upright{H3477}: for the end{H319} of that man{H376} is peace{H7965}.

But the transgressors{H6586}{(H8802)} shall be destroyed{H8045}{H8738)} together{H3162}: the end{H319} of the wicked{H7563} shall be cut off{H3772}{H8738)}.

But the salvation{H8668} of the righteous{H6662} is of the LORD{H3068}: he is their strength{H4581} in the time{H6256} of trouble{H6869}.

And the LORD{H3068} shall help{H5826}{(H8799)} them, and deliver{H6403}{H8762)} them: he shall deliver{H6403}{H8762)} them from the wicked{H7563}, and save{H3467}{H8686)} them, because they trust{H2620}{H8804)} in him.
