[1]
neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.
[2] For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
and wither like the green herb.
[3] Trust in Yahweh, and do good.
Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.
[4] Also delight yourself in Yahweh,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
[5] Commit your way to Yahweh.
Trust also in him, and he will do this:
[6] he will make your righteousness shine out like light,
and your justice as the noon day sun.
[7] Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him.
Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way,
because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.
[8] Cease from anger, and forsake wrath.
Don’t fret; it leads only to evildoing.
[9] For evildoers shall be cut off,
but those who wait for Yahweh shall inherit the land.
[10] For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more.
Yes, though you look for his place, he isn’t there.
[11] But the humble shall inherit the land,
and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
[12] The wicked plots against the just,
and gnashes at him with his teeth.
[13] The Lord will laugh at him,
for he sees 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,
to kill those who are upright on the path.
[15] Their sword shall enter into their own heart.
Their bows shall be broken.
[16] Better is a little that the righteous has,
than the abundance of many wicked.
[17] For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,
but Yahweh upholds the righteous.
[18] Yahweh knows the days of the perfect.
Their inheritance shall be forever.
[19] They shall not be disappointed in the time of evil.
In the days of famine they shall be satisfied. [20] But the wicked shall perish.
The enemies of Yahweh shall be like the beauty of the fields.
They will vanish—
vanish like smoke.
[21] The wicked borrow, and don’t pay back,
but the righteous give generously.
[22] For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land.
Those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.
[23] A man’s steps are established by Yahweh.
He delights in his way.
[24] Though he stumble, he shall not fall,
for Yahweh holds him up with his hand.
[25] I have been young, and now am old,
yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,
nor his children begging for bread.
[26] All day long he deals graciously, and lends.
His offspring is blessed.
[27] Depart from evil, and do good.
Live securely forever.
[28] For Yahweh loves justice,
and doesn’t 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 live in it forever. [30] The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom.
His tongue speaks justice.
[31] The law of his God is in his heart.
None of his steps shall slide.
[32] The wicked watch the righteous,
and seek to kill him.
[33] Yahweh will not leave him in his hand,
nor condemn him when he is judged.
[34] Wait for Yahweh, and keep his way,
and he will exalt you to inherit the land.
When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it. [35] I have seen the wicked in great power,
spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
[36] But he passed away, and behold, he was not.
Yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.
[37] Mark the perfect man, and see the upright,
for there is a future for the man of peace.
[38] As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together.
The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
[39] But the salvation of the righteous is from Yahweh.
He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
[40] Yahweh helps them and rescues them.
He rescues them from the wicked and saves them,
because they have taken refuge in him.
By David.
Don’t fret because of evildoers,neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.
[2] For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
and wither like the green herb.

FretH2734(HithImpf) not thyself because of evildoers,H7489(HiphPtc) neither be thou enviousH7065(PielImpf) against the workersH6213(QalActPtc) of iniquity.H5766 [2] For they shall soonH4120 be cut downH5243(QalImpf) like the grass,H2682 and witherH5034(QalImpf) as the greenH3418 herb.H1877 [3] TrustH982(QalImpv) in the Lord,H3068 and doH6213(QalImpv) good;H2896 [so] shalt thou dwellH7931(QalImpv) in the land,H776 and verilyH530 thou shalt be fed.H7462(QalImpv) [4] DelightH6026(HithImpv) thyself also in the Lord;H3068 and he shall giveH5414(QalImpf) thee the desiresH4862 of thine heart.H3820 [5] CommitH1556(QalImpv) thy wayH1870 unto the Lord;H3068 trustH982(QalImpv) also in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass.H6213(QalImpf) [6] And he shall bring forthH3318(HiphPerf) thy righteousnessH6664 as the light,H216 and thy judgmentH4941 as the noonday.H6672 [7] RestH1826(QalImpv) in the Lord,H3068 and wait patientlyH2342(HiplImpv) for him: fretH2734(HithImpf) not thyself because of him who prosperethH6743(HiphPtc) in his way,H1870 because of the manH376 who bringethH6213 wicked devicesH4209 to pass.H6213(QalActPtc) [8] CeaseH7503(HiphImpv) from anger,H639 and forsakeH5800(QalImpv) wrath:H2534 fretH2734(HithImpf) not thyself in any wiseH389 to do evil.H7489(HiphInf) [9] For evildoersH7489(HiphPtc) shall be cut off:H3772(NiphImpf) but those that waitH6960(QalActPtc) upon the Lord,H3068 they shall inheritH3423(QalImpf) the earth.H776 [10] For yet a little while,H4592 and the wickedH7563 [shall] not [be]: yea, thou shalt diligently considerH995(HiplPerf) his place,H4725 and it [shall] not [be].

[33] The LordH3068 will not leaveH5800(QalImpf) him in his hand,H3027 nor condemnH7561(HiphImpf) him when he is judged.H8199(NiphInf) [34] WaitH6960(PielImpv) on the Lord,H3068 and keepH8104(QalImpv) his way,H1870 and he shall exaltH7311(PoleImpf) thee to inheritH3423(QalInf) the land:H776 when the wickedH7563 are cut off,H3772(NiphInf) thou shalt seeH7200(QalImpf) [it]. [35] I have seenH7200(QalPerf) the wickedH7563 in great power,H6184 and spreadingH6168(HithPtc) himself like a greenH7488 bay tree.H249 [36] Yet he passed away,H5674(QalImpf) and, lo, he [was] not: yea, I soughtH1245(PielImpf) him, but he could not be found.H4672(NiphPerf) [37] MarkH8104(QalImpv) the perfectH8535 [man], and beholdH7200(QalImpv) the upright:H3477 for the endH319 of [that] manH376 [is] peace.H7965 [38] But the transgressorsH6586(QalActPtc) shall be destroyedH8045(NiphPerf) together:H3162 the endH319 of the wickedH7563 shall be cut off.H3772(NiphPerf) [39] But the salvationH8668 of the righteousH6662 [is] of the Lord:H3068 [he is] their strengthH4581 in the timeH6256 of trouble.H6869 [40] And the LordH3068 shall helpH5826(QalImpf) them, and deliverH6403(PielImpf) them: he shall deliverH6403(PielImpf) them from the wicked,H7563 and saveH3467(HiphImpf) them, because they trustH2620(QalPerf) in him.Byzantine Greek New Testament
