[1] Fret not thy selfe because of the vngodly: neither be thou enuious against the euyll doers [1]לְדָוִ֨ד ׀ אַל־תִּתְחַ֥ר בַּמְּרֵעִ֑ים אַל־תְּ֝קַנֵּ֗א בְּעֹשֵׂ֥י עַוְלָֽה׃
[2]For they shall soone be cut downe like the grasse: and be withered euen as the greene hearbe [2]כִּ֣י כֶ֭חָצִיר מְהֵרָ֣ה יִמָּ֑לוּ וּכְיֶ֥רֶק דֶּ֝֗שֶׁא יִבֹּולֽוּן׃
[3]Put thou thy trust in God, and be doing good: dwell in the land, and feede in trueth [3]בְּטַ֣ח בַּֽ֭יהוָה וַעֲשֵׂה־טֹ֑וב שְׁכָן־אֶ֝֗רֶץ וּרְעֵ֥ה אֱמוּנָֽה׃
[4]Delight thou also in God: and he shall geue thee thy heartes desire [4]וְהִתְעַנַּ֥ג עַל־יְהוָ֑ה וְיִֽתֶּן־לְ֝ךָ֗ מִשְׁאֲלֹ֥ת לִבֶּֽךָ׃
[5]Commit thy way vnto God: and put thy trust in hym, and he shall bryng it to passe [5]גֹּ֣ול עַל־יְהוָ֣ה דַּרְכֶּ֑ךָ וּבְטַ֥ח עָ֝לָ֗יו וְה֣וּא יַעֲשֶֽׂה׃
[6]He shall make thy righteousnesse appeare as cleare as the light: and thy iust dealing as the noone tyde [6]וְהֹוצִ֣יא כָאֹ֣ור צִדְקֶ֑ךָ וּ֝מִשְׁפָּטֶ֗ךָ כַּֽצָּהֳרָֽיִם׃
[7]Holde thee still in God, and wayte paciently vpon him: fret not thy selfe at him whose way doth prosper, at the man that doth abhominations [7]דֹּ֤ום ׀ לַיהוָה֮ וְהִתְחֹ֪ולֵ֫ל לֹ֥ו אַל־תִּ֭תְחַר בְּמַצְלִ֣יחַ דַּרְכֹּ֑ו בְּ֝אִ֗ישׁ עֹשֶׂ֥ה מְזִמֹּֽות׃
[8]Leaue of from wrath, and let go displeasure: fret not thy selfe, lest thou be moued to do euill [8]הֶ֣רֶף מֵ֭אַף וַעֲזֹ֣ב חֵמָ֑ה אַל־תִּ֝תְחַ֗ר אַךְ־לְהָרֵֽעַ׃
[9]For the malitious doers shalbe rooted out: and they that paciently wayte after God, they shall inherite the lande [9]כִּֽי־מְ֭רֵעִים יִכָּרֵת֑וּן וְקֹוֵ֥י יְ֝הוָ֗ה הֵ֣מָּה יִֽירְשׁוּ־אָֽרֶץ׃
[10][Looke] at them yet a litle whyle, and the vngodly shalbe cleane gone: thou shalt looke after his place, and he shall not be [there [10]וְעֹ֣וד מְ֭עַט וְאֵ֣ין רָשָׁ֑ע וְהִתְבֹּונַ֖נְתָּ עַל־מְקֹומֹ֣ו וְאֵינֶֽנּוּ׃
[11]But the meeke spirited shall possesse the earth: and shalbe delighted in the aboundaunce of peace [11]וַעֲנָוִ֥ים יִֽירְשׁוּ־אָ֑רֶץ וְ֝הִתְעַנְּג֗וּ עַל־רֹ֥ב שָׁלֹֽום׃
[12]The vngodly busieth his head [all] against the iust: and gnasheth vpon him with his teeth [12]זֹמֵ֣ם רָ֭שָׁע לַצַּדִּ֑יק וְחֹרֵ֖ק עָלָ֣יו שִׁנָּֽיו׃
[13]The Lorde shall laugh him to scorne: for he seeth that his day is comming [13]אֲדֹנָ֥י יִשְׂחַק־לֹ֑ו כִּֽי־רָ֝אָ֗ה כִּֽי־יָבֹ֥א יֹומֹֽו׃
[14]The vngodly haue drawen out the sworde, and haue bended their bowe: to cast downe the poore and needie, and to slay such as be of right conuersation [14]חֶ֤רֶב ׀ פָּֽתְח֣וּ רְשָׁעִים֮ וְדָרְכ֪וּ קַ֫שְׁתָּ֥ם לְ֭הַפִּיל עָנִ֣י וְאֶבְיֹ֑ון לִ֝טְבֹ֗וחַ יִשְׁרֵי־דָֽרֶךְ׃
[15]But their sworde shal go thorow their owne heart: & their bow shalbe broken [15]חַ֭רְבָּם תָּבֹ֣וא בְלִבָּ֑ם וְ֝קַשְּׁתֹותָ֗ם תִּשָּׁבַֽרְנָה׃
[16]A small thing that the righteous hath: is better then great riches of ye vngodly [16]טֹוב־מְ֭עַט לַצַּדִּ֑יק מֵ֝הֲמֹ֗ון רְשָׁעִ֥ים רַבִּֽים׃
[17]For the armes of the vngodly shalbe broken: and God vpholdeth the righteous [17]כִּ֤י זְרֹועֹ֣ות רְ֭שָׁעִים תִּשָּׁבַ֑רְנָה וְסֹומֵ֖ךְ צַדִּיקִ֣ים יְהוָֽה׃
[18]God knoweth the dayes of them that be perfect: and their inheritaunce shall endure for euer [18]יֹודֵ֣עַ יְ֭הוָה יְמֵ֣י תְמִימִ֑ם וְ֝נַחֲלָתָ֗ם לְעֹולָ֥ם תִּהְיֶֽה׃
[19]They shall not be confounded in the perilous tyme: and in the dayes of dearth they shall haue inough [19]לֹֽא־יֵ֭בֹשׁוּ בְּעֵ֣ת רָעָ֑ה וּבִימֵ֖י רְעָבֹ֣ון יִשְׂבָּֽעוּ׃
[20]As for the vngodly they shall perishe, and the enemies of God shall consume as the fat of lambes: yea, euen with the smoke they shall vanishe away [20]כִּ֤י רְשָׁעִ֨ים ׀ יֹאבֵ֗דוּ וְאֹיְבֵ֣י יְ֭הוָה כִּיקַ֣ר כָּרִ֑ים כָּל֖וּ בֶעָשָׁ֣ן כָּֽלוּ׃
[21]The vngodly boroweth and payeth not agayne: but the righteous geueth mercifully and liberally [21]לֹוֶ֣ה רָ֭שָׁע וְלֹ֣א יְשַׁלֵּ֑ם וְ֝צַדִּ֗יק חֹונֵ֥ן וְנֹותֵֽן׃
[22]Suche as be blessed of God shall possesse the lande: and they that be cursed of hym, shalbe rooted out [22]כִּ֣י מְ֭בֹרָכָיו יִ֣ירְשׁוּ אָ֑רֶץ וּ֝מְקֻלָּלָ֗יו יִכָּרֵֽתוּ׃
[23]The pathes of man is directed by God: and his way pleaseth [23]מֵ֭יְהוָה מִֽצְעֲדֵי־גֶ֥בֶר כֹּונָ֗נוּ וְדַרְכֹּ֥ו יֶחְפָּֽץ׃
[24]Though he fall, he shall not be vndone: for God vpholdeth him with his hande [24]כִּֽי־יִפֹּ֥ל לֹֽא־יוּטָ֑ל כִּֽי־יְ֝הוָ֗ה סֹומֵ֥ךְ יָדֹֽו׃
[25]I haue ben a young chylde, and nowe I am olde: and yet sawe I neuer the righteous forsaken, nor his seede begyng bread [25]נַ֤עַר ׀ הָיִ֗יתִי גַּם־זָ֫קַ֥נְתִּי וְֽלֹא־רָ֭אִיתִי צַדִּ֣יק נֶעֱזָ֑ב וְ֝זַרְעֹ֗ו מְבַקֶּשׁ־לָֽחֶם׃
[26]The righteous is euer mercifull and lendeth: and his seede is blessed [26]כָּל־הַ֭יֹּום חֹונֵ֣ן וּמַלְוֶ֑ה וְ֝זַרְעֹ֗ו לִבְרָכָֽה׃
[27]Flee from euill & do good: and dwell for euer [27]ס֣וּר מֵ֭רָע וַעֲשֵׂה־טֹ֗וב וּשְׁכֹ֥ן לְעֹולָֽם׃
[28]For God loueth iudgement, he forsaketh not his saintes: they are preserued for euermore, but the seede of the vngodlye shalbe rooted vp [28]כִּ֤י יְהוָ֨ה ׀ אֹ֘הֵ֤ב מִשְׁפָּ֗ט וְלֹא־יַעֲזֹ֣ב אֶת־חֲ֭סִידָיו לְעֹולָ֣ם נִשְׁמָ֑רוּ וְזֶ֖רַע רְשָׁעִ֣ים נִכְרָֽת׃
[29]The righteous shal inherite the land: and dwell therin for euer [29]צַדִּיקִ֥ים יִֽירְשׁוּ־אָ֑רֶץ וְיִשְׁכְּנ֖וּ לָעַ֣ד עָלֶֽיהָ׃
[30]The mouth of the righteous is exercised in wysdome: and his tongue wyll be talking of iudgement [30]פִּֽי־צַ֭דִּיק יֶהְגֶּ֣ה חָכְמָ֑ה וּ֝לְשֹׁונֹ֗ו תְּדַבֵּ֥ר מִשְׁפָּֽט׃
[31]The lawe of his God is in his heart: therfore his feete shall not slide [31]תֹּורַ֣ת אֱלֹהָ֣יו בְּלִבֹּ֑ו לֹ֖א תִמְעַ֣ד אֲשֻׁרָֽיו׃
[32]The vngodly spyeth the righteous: and seeketh [occasion] to slay hym [32]צֹופֶ֣ה רָ֭שָׁע לַצַּדִּ֑יק וּ֝מְבַקֵּ֗שׁ לַהֲמִיתֹו ׃
[33]God wyll not leaue him in his hande: nor suffer hym to be condemned when he is iudged [33]יְ֭הוָה לֹא־יַעַזְבֶ֣נּוּ בְיָדֹ֑ו וְלֹ֥א יַ֝רְשִׁיעֶ֗נּוּ בְּהִשָּׁפְטֹֽו׃
[34]Wayte thou on God & kepe his way, and he wyll promote thee, that thou mayest possesse the lande: when the vngodly shalbe cut of, thou shalt see it [34]קַוֵּ֤ה אֶל־יְהוָ֨ה ׀ וּשְׁמֹ֬ר דַּרְכֹּ֗ו וִֽ֭ירֹומִמְךָ לָרֶ֣שֶׁת אָ֑רֶץ בְּהִכָּרֵ֖ת רְשָׁעִ֣ים תִּרְאֶֽה׃
[35]I my selfe haue seene the vngodly in great power: and florishing lyke a greene bay tree [35]רָ֭אִיתִי רָשָׁ֣ע עָרִ֑יץ וּ֝מִתְעָרֶ֗ה כְּאֶזְרָ֥ח רַעֲנָֽן׃
[36]And he vanished away, so that he could be no more seene: I sought hym, but he coulde no where be founde [36]וַ֭יַּֽעֲבֹר וְהִנֵּ֣ה אֵינֶ֑נּוּ וָֽ֝אֲבַקְשֵׁ֗הוּ וְלֹ֣א נִמְצָֽא׃
[37]Marke hym that is perfect, and beholde him that is iust: for the ende of suche a man is peace [37]שְׁמָר־תָּ֭ם וּרְאֵ֣ה יָשָׁ֑ר כִּֽי־אַחֲרִ֖ית לְאִ֣ישׁ שָׁלֹֽום׃
[38]As for wicked transgressours, they shalbe destroyed [all] together: and the ende of the vngodly shalbe rooted vp at the last [38]וּֽ֭פֹשְׁעִים נִשְׁמְד֣וּ יַחְדָּ֑ו אַחֲרִ֖ית רְשָׁעִ֣ים נִכְרָֽתָה׃
[39]But saluation of the righteous commeth of God: whiche is also their strength in time of trouble [39]וּתְשׁוּעַ֣ת צַ֭דִּיקִים מֵיְהוָ֑ה מָֽ֝עוּזָּ֗ם בְּעֵ֣ת צָרָֽה׃
[40]And God wyll ayde them and deliuer them, he wyl deliuer them from the vngodly: and he wyll saue them, because they put their trust in him [40]וַֽיַּעְזְרֵ֥ם יְהוָ֗ה וַֽיְפַ֫לְּטֵ֥ם יְפַלְּטֵ֣ם מֵ֭רְשָׁעִים וְיֹושִׁיעֵ֑ם כִּי־חָ֥סוּ בֹֽו׃
