¹ To David. [The psalm of David.] Do not thou pursue [or follow] wicked men; neither love thou men doing wickedness.

² For they shall wax dry swiftly as hay; and they shall fall down soon as the worts of herbs.

³ Hope thou in the Lord, and do thou goodness; and inhabit thou the land, and thou shalt be fed with his riches.

⁴ Delight thou in the Lord; and he shall give to thee the askings of thine heart.

⁵ Show thy way to the Lord; and hope in him, and he shall do.

⁶ And he shall lead out thy rightfulness [or rightwiseness] as light, and thy doom as midday;

⁷ be thou subject to the Lord, and pray thou him. Do not thou pursue [or follow] him, that hath prosperity in his way; nor a man doing unright-fulness.

⁸ Cease thou of ire, and forsake strong vengeance; do not thou pursue [or follow], that thou do wickedly.

⁹ For they, that do wickedly, shall be destroyed; but they that suffer the Lord, shall inherit the land.

¹⁰ And yet a little, and a sinner shall not be; and thou shalt seek his place, and thou shalt not find it.

¹¹ But mild men shall inherit the land; and shall delight in the multitude of peace.

¹² A sinner shall ambush the rightful [or rightwise] man; and he shall gnash with his teeth on him.

¹³ But the Lord shall scorn the sinner; for he beholdeth that his day cometh.

¹⁴ Sinners have drawn out sword; they bent their bow. To deceive a poor man and needy; to strangle rightful [or right] men of heart.

¹⁵ Their sword enter into the heart of themselves; and their bow be broken.

¹⁶ Better is a little thing to a just [or rightwise] man; than many riches of sinners.

¹⁷ For the arms of sinners shall be all-broken; but the Lord confirmeth just [or rightwise] men.

¹⁸ The Lord knoweth the days of [the] unwemmed; and their heritage shall be without end.

¹⁹ They shall not be shamed in the evil time, and they shall be [ful] filled in the days of hunger;

²⁰ for sinners shall perish. Forsooth anon as the enemies of the Lord be honoured, and enhanced; they failing shall fail as smoke.

²¹ A sinner shall borrow, and shall not pay back; but a just [or rightwise] man hath mercy, and shall give.

²² For they that bless the Lord shall inherit the land; but they that curse him shall perish.

²³ The goings of a man shall be dressed with the Lord; and he shall delight in his way.

²⁴ When he falleth, he shall not be hurtled or hurled down; for the Lord undersetteth his hand.

²⁵ I was younger, and soothly I waxed eld; and I saw not a just [or rightwise] man forsaken, neither his seed seeking bread.

²⁶ All day he hath mercy, and lendeth; and his seed shall be in blessing.

²⁷ Bow thou away from evil, and do good; and dwell thou into the world of world.

²⁸ For the Lord loveth doom, and shall not forsake his saints; they shall be kept without end. Unjust men shall be punished; and the seed of wicked men shall perish.

²⁹ But just [or rightwise] men shall inherit the land; and shall inhabit thereon into the world of world.

³⁰ The mouth of a just [or rightwise] man shall bethink wisdom; and his tongue shall speak doom.

³¹ The law of his God is in his heart; and his steps shall not be deceived.

³² A sinner beholdeth a just [or right-wise] man; and seeketh to slay him.

³³ But the Lord shall not forsake him in his hands; neither he shall condemn him, when it shall be deemed against him.

³⁴ Abide thou the Lord, and keep thou his way, and he shall enhance thee, that by heritage thou take the land; when sinners shall perish, thou shalt see.

³⁵ I saw the wicked man enhanced above; and raised up as the cedars of Lebanon.

³⁶ And I passed by, and lo! he was not there; I sought him, and his place was not found.

³⁷ Keep thou innocence, and see equity; for those [or they] be relics or remnants to a peaceable man.

³⁸ Forsooth unjust men shall perish; the remnants or relics of wicked men shall perish altogether.

³⁹ But the health of just [or rightwise] men is of the Lord; and he is their defender in the time of tribulation.

⁴⁰ And the Lord shall help them, and shall make them free, and he shall deliver them from sinners; and he shall save them, for they hoped in him.
