2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
3 Trust in Jehovah, and do good;
4 Delight thyself also in Jehovah;
5 Commit thy way unto Jehovah;
6 And he will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light,
7 Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him:
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath:
9 For evil-doers shall be cut off;
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be:
11 But the meek shall inherit the land,
12 The wicked plotteth against the just,
13 The Lord will laugh at him;
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow,
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart,
16 Better is a little that the righteous hath
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken;
18 Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect;
19 They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil;
20 But the wicked shall perish,
21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again;
22 For such as are blessed of him shall inherit the land;
23 A man’s goings are established of Jehovah;
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;
25 I have been young, and now am old;
26 All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth;
27 Depart from evil, and do good;
28 For Jehovah loveth justice,
29 The righteous shall inherit the land,
30 The mouth of the righteous talketh of wisdom,
31 The law of his God is in his heart;
32 The wicked watcheth the righteous,
33 Jehovah will not leave him in his hand,
34 Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way,
35 I have seen the wicked in great power,
36 But one passed by, and, lo, he was not:
37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright;
38 As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together:
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah:
40 And Jehovah helpeth them, and rescueth them:
