¹ Burn not with vexation because of evil-doers, Be not envious of the workers of perversity;² For, like grass, soon shall they wither, and, like green herbage, shall they fade.³ Trust in Yahweh, and do good, Dwell in the land, and feed on fidelity;⁴ Yea, rest thy delight on Yahweh, that he may give thee the requests of thy heart.⁵ Roll on Yahweh thy way, Trust also in him, and, he, will effectually work:⁶ So will he bring forth, as the light, thy righteousness, and thy vindication as the noonday.

⁷ Be resigned to Yahweh, yea wait with longing for him; Burn not with vexation at him who prospereth in his way, - at the man who doeth wickedness.⁸ Cease from anger, and forsake wrath, Burn not with vexation - it would be only to do evil;⁹ For, evil doers, shall be cut off, but, as for them who wait for Yahweh, they, shall inherit the earth.¹⁰ Yet a little, therefore, and the lawless one shall not be, Yea thou shalt look about, over his place - and he shall have vanished!¹¹ But, the patient oppressed-ones, shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves over the abundance of prosperity.¹² Plotting is the lawless one, against the just, and gnashing upon him with his teeth.¹³ My Lord, shall laugh at him, for he seeth, that his day, will come.¹⁴ A sword, have the lawless, drawn out, and have trodden their bow, - To bring down the oppressed and the needy, To slaughter the upright in life:¹⁵ Their sword, shall enter into their own heart, and, their bow, shall be broken.¹⁶ Better the little of the righteous man, than the abundance of the lawless who are mighty;¹⁷ For, the arms of the lawless, shall be broken, But Yahweh is upholding the righteous.¹⁸ Yahweh knoweth the days of the blameless, that, their inheritance, unto times age-abiding, shall continue.¹⁹ They shall not be ashamed in the time of calamity, and, in the days of famine, shall they be filled.²⁰ For, the lawless, shall perish, and, the foes of Yahweh, be like the glory of the meadows, They have vanished! In smoke, have they vanished!

²¹ A lawless man borroweth, and will not repay, But, a righteous man, showeth favour and giveth;²² For, such as are blessed of him, shall inherit the earth, But, the cursed of him, shall be cut off.²³ From Yahweh, are the steps of a man made firm, When, with his way, he is well pleased:²⁴ Though he fall, he shall not be hurled headlong, For, Yahweh, is holding his hand.²⁵ Young, have I been, moreover am old, - Yet have I not seen, A righteous man forsaken, Nor his seed begging bread:²⁶ All day long, is he showing favour and lending, his seed, therefore, shall have a blessing.²⁷ Turn from evil, and do good, and so settle down, unto times age-abiding.²⁸ For, Yahweh, loveth justice, and will not forsake his men of lovingkindness, Unto times age-abiding, have the perverse been destroyed, - and the seed of the lawless, been cut off.²⁹ The righteous, shall inherit the earth, that they may settle down, to futurity, thereupon.³⁰ The mouth of a righteous man, softly uttereth wisdom, and, his tongue, speaketh justice:³¹ The law of his God, is in his heart, his steps shall not swerve.³² The lawless man, lieth in wait, for the just, and seeketh to put him to death:³³ Yahweh, will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him, when he is judged.

³⁴ Wait for Yahweh, and observe thou his path, that he may exalt thee, to inherit the earth, On the cutting off of the lawless, shalt thou look.³⁵ I have seen a lawless man, a tyrant, and spreading himself out, like a cedar in Lebanon;³⁶ Then I passed by, and lo! he had vanished! Yea I sought him, but he could not be found.³⁷ Mark the blameless man, and behold the upright, for there is a hereafter for the man of peace;³⁸ But, transgressors, are to be destroyed together, the hereafter of lawless men, is to be cut off.³⁹ But, the deliverance of the righteous, is from Yahweh, their refuge in a time of distress.⁴⁰ Thus hath Yahweh helped them, thus hath he delivered them, - He will deliver them from the lawless, and will save them, because they have sought refuge in him.
