1 BY DAVID. [ALEPH-BET] Do not fret because of evildoers, Do not be envious against doers of iniquity,

Of David - may not you fret yourself in the evil-doers may not you be jealous of [those who] do unrighteousness.

2 For they are cut off speedily as grass, And fade as the greenness of the tender grass.

For like grass quickly they will wither and like [the] greenery of vegetation they will fade!

Roll on Yahweh way your and rely on him and he he will act.

And he will bring forth like the light righteousness your and justice your like the noontide.

7 Be silent for YHWH, and stay yourself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making his way prosperous, Because of a man doing wicked schemes.

Be still - to Yahweh and wait longingly for him may not you fret yourself in [one who] makes prosperous way his in a person [who] makes plots.

8 Desist from anger, and forsake fury, Do not fret yourself to only do evil.

9 For evildoers are cut off, As for those waiting on YHWH, they possess the land.

For evil-doers they will be cut off! and [those who] wait for Yahweh they they will possess [the] land.

10 And yet a little [while], and the wicked is not, And you have considered his place, and it is not.

And yet a little and there not [will be the] wicked and you will look carefully on place his and there not [will be] he.

11 And the humble possess the land, And they have delighted themselves In the abundance of peace.

13 The Lord laughs at him, For He has seen that his day comes.

14 The wicked have opened a sword, And they have bent their bow, To cause the poor and needy to fall, To slaughter the upright of the way.

A sword - they have drawn wicked [people] and they have bent bow their to make fall [the] poor and [the] needy to slaughter [people] upright of way.

15 Their sword enters into their own heart, And their bows are shattered.

Sword their it will go in own heart their and bows their they will be broken.

16 Better [is] the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked.

[is] good [the] little Of the righteous more than [the] wealth of wicked [people] many.

17 For the arms of the wicked are shattered, And YHWH is sustaining the righteous.

For [the] arms of wicked [people] they will be broken and [is] sustaining righteous [people] Yahweh.

18 YHWH knows the days of the perfect, And their inheritance is for all time.

19 They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And they are satisfied in days of famine.

Not they will be ashamed in a time evil and in days of famine they will be satisfied.

20 But the wicked perish, and the enemies of YHWH, Have been consumed as the preciousness of lambs, They have been consumed in smoke.

For wicked [people] - they will perish and [the] enemies of Yahweh [will be] like a splendid [thing] of pastures they will come to an end in smoke they will come to an end.

21 The wicked is borrowing and does not repay, And the righteous is gracious and giving.

26 All the day he is gracious and lending, And his seed [is] for a blessing.

36 And he passes away, and behold, he is not, And I seek him, and he is not found!
