1 A Psalm of David. Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers 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 shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

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

3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

Trust in Yahweh and do good dwell [the] land and graze faithfulness.

4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thy heart.

And take delight on Yahweh so he may give to you [the] requests of heart your.

5 Commit thy way to the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

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

6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

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

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.

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 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any way to do evil.

Refrain from anger and forsake rage may not you fret yourself only to do evil.

9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

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

10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

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 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

And humble [people] they will possess [the] land and they will take delight on abundance of well-being.

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.

[the] Lord He laughs to him for he sees that it will come day his.

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 are of upright conduct.

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 shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.

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

16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches 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 shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.

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

18 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.

[is] knowing Yahweh [the] days of blameless [people] and inheritance their for ever it will be.

19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

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

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 borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous showeth mercy, and giveth.

[is] borrowing [the] wicked And not he repays and [the] righteous [is] showing favor and giving.

22 For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the earth; and they that are cursed by him shall be cut off.

23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.

From Yahweh [the] steps of a man they are established and way his he delights in.

24 Though he should fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

For he will fall not he will be thrown down for Yahweh [is] supporting hand his.

25 I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

A young man - I have been also I am old and not I have seen [the] righteous forsaken and offspring his seeking food.

26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.

All the day [he is] showing favor and [he is] lending and offspring his [become] a blessing.

27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

Turn away from evil and do good and dwell for ever.

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.

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.

[is] watching A wicked [person] for righteous [person] and [is] seeking to kill him.

33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

Yahweh not he will abandon him in hand his and not he will condemn as guilty him when is judged he.

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.

Wait to Yahweh - and keep way his and he will exalt you to possess [the] land when are cut off wicked [people] you will see.

35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

I have seen a wicked [person] ruthless and spreading himself like a native tree luxuriant.

36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

And he passed away and there! there not [was] he and I sought him and not he was found.

37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
