A Psalm of DavidH1732. FretH2734 not thyself because of evildoersH7489, neither be thou enviousH7065 against the workersH6213 of iniquityH5766.
For they shall soonH4120 be cut downH5243 like the grassH2682, and witherH5034 as the greenH3418 herbH1877.
TrustH982 in the LORDH3068, and doH6213 goodH2896; so shalt thou dwellH7931 in the landH776, and verilyH530 thou shalt be fedH7462. {verily: Heb. in truth, or, stableness}
DelightH6026 thyself also in the LORDH3068; and he shall giveH5414 thee the desiresH4862 of thine heartH3820.
CommitH1556 thy wayH1870 unto the LORDH3068; trustH982 also in him; and he shall bring it to passH6213. {Commit…: Heb. Roll thy way upon}
And he shall bring forthH3318 thy righteousnessH6664 as the lightH216, and thy judgmentH4941 as the noondayH6672.
RestH1826 in the LORDH3068, and wait patientlyH2342 for him: fretH2734 not thyself because of him who prosperethH6743 in his wayH1870, because of the manH376 who bringethH6213 wicked devicesH4209 to passH6213. {Rest in: Heb. Be silent to}
CeaseH7503 from angerH639, and forsakeH5800 wrathH2534: fretH2734 not thyself in any wiseH389 to do evilH7489.
For evildoersH7489 shall be cut offH3772: but those that waitH6960 upon the LORDH3068, they shall inheritH3423 the earthH776.
For yet a little whileH4592, and the wickedH7563 shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently considerH995 his placeH4725, and it shall not be.
But the meekH6035 shall inheritH3423 the earthH776; and shall delightH6026 themselves in the abundanceH7230 of peaceH7965.
The wickedH7563 plottethH2161 against the justH6662, and gnashethH2786 upon him with his teethH8127. {plotteth: or, practiseth}
The LordH136 shall laughH7832 at him: for he seethH7200 that his dayH3117 is comingH935.
The wickedH7563 have drawn outH6605 the swordH2719, and have bentH1869 their bowH7198, to cast downH5307 the poorH6041 and needyH34, and to slayH2873 such as be of uprightH3477 conversationH1870. {such…: Heb. the upright of way}
Their swordH2719 shall enterH935 into their own heartH3820, and their bowsH7198 shall be brokenH7665.
A littleH4592 that a righteous manH6662 hath is betterH2896 than the richesH1995 of manyH7227 wickedH7563.
For the armsH2220 of the wickedH7563 shall be brokenH7665: but the LORDH3068 upholdethH5564 the righteousH6662.
The LORDH3068 knowethH3045 the daysH3117 of the uprightH8549: and their inheritanceH5159 shall be for everH5769.
They shall not be ashamedH954 in the evilH7451 timeH6256: and in the daysH3117 of famineH7459 they shall be satisfiedH7646.
But the wickedH7563 shall perishH6, and the enemiesH341 of the LORDH3068 shall be as the fatH3368 of lambsH3733: they shall consumeH3615; into smokeH6227 shall they consume awayH3615. {the fat: Heb. the preciousness}
The wickedH7563 borrowethH3867, and payeth not againH7999: but the righteousH6662 sheweth mercyH2603, and givethH5414.
For such as be blessedH1288 of him shall inheritH3423 the earthH776; and they that be cursedH7043 of him shall be cut offH3772.
The stepsH4703 of a good manH1397 are orderedH3559 by the LORDH3068: and he delightethH2654 in his wayH1870. {ordered: or, established}
Though he fallH5307, he shall not be utterly cast downH2904: for the LORDH3068 upholdethH5564 him with his handH3027.
I have been youngH5288, and now am oldH2204; yet have I not seenH7200 the righteousH6662 forsakenH5800, nor his seedH2233 beggingH1245 breadH3899.
He is everH3117 mercifulH2603, and lendethH3867; and his seedH2233 is blessedH1293. {ever: Heb. all the day}
DepartH5493 from evilH7451, and doH6213 goodH2896; and dwellH7931 for evermoreH5769.
For the LORDH3068 lovethH157 judgmentH4941, and forsakethH5800 not his saintsH2623; they are preservedH8104 for everH5769: but the seedH2233 of the wickedH7563 shall be cut offH3772.
The righteousH6662 shall inheritH3423 the landH776, and dwellH7931 therein for everH5703.
The mouthH6310 of the righteousH6662 speakethH1897 wisdomH2451, and his tongueH3956 talkethH1696 of judgmentH4941.
The lawH8451 of his GodH430 is in his heartH3820; none of his stepsH838 shall slideH4571. {steps: or, goings}
The wickedH7563 watchethH6822 the righteousH6662, and seekethH1245 to slayH4191 him.
The LORDH3068 will not leaveH5800 him in his handH3027, nor condemnH7561 him when he is judgedH8199.
WaitH6960 on the LORDH3068, and keepH8104 his wayH1870, and he shall exaltH7311 thee to inheritH3423 the landH776: when the wickedH7563 are cut offH3772, thou shalt seeH7200 it.
I have seenH7200 the wickedH7563 in great powerH6184, and spreadingH6168 himself like a greenH7488 bay treeH249. {a green…: or, a green tree that groweth in his own soil}
Yet he passed awayH5674, and, lo, he was not: yea, I soughtH1245 him, but he could not be foundH4672.
MarkH8104 the perfectH8535 man, and beholdH7200 the uprightH3477: for the endH319 of that manH376 is peaceH7965.
But the transgressorsH6586 shall be destroyedH8045 togetherH3162: the endH319 of the wickedH7563 shall be cut offH3772.
But the salvationH8668 of the righteousH6662 is of the LORDH3068: he is their strengthH4581 in the timeH6256 of troubleH6869.
And the LORDH3068 shall helpH5826 them, and deliverH6403 them: he shall deliverH6403 them from the wickedH7563, and saveH3467 them, because they trustH2620 in him.

So are the pathsH734 of all that forgetH7911 GodH410; and the hypocrite'sH2611 hopeH8615 shall perishH6:
Whose hopeH3689 shall be cut offH6990, and whose trustH4009 shall be a spider'sH5908 webH1004. {web: Heb. house}
He shall leanH8172 upon his houseH1004, but it shall not standH5975: he shall holdH2388 it fast, but it shall not endureH6965.

All the fowlsH5775 of heavenH8064 made their nestsH7077 in his boughsH5589, and under his branchesH6288 did all the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 bring forth their youngH3205, and under his shadowH6738 dweltH3427 all greatH7227 nationsH1471.

The cedarsH730 in the gardenH1588 of GodH430 could not hideH6004 him: the fir treesH1265 were not likeH1819 his boughsH5589, and the chesnut treesH6196 were not like his branchesH6288; nor any treeH6086 in the gardenH1588 of GodH430 was likeH1819 unto him in his beautyH3308.
I have madeH6213 him fairH3303 by the multitudeH7230 of his branchesH1808: so that all the treesH6086 of EdenH5731, that were in the gardenH1588 of GodH430, enviedH7065 him.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thou hast lifted upH1361 thyself in heightH6967, and he hath shot upH5414 his topH6788 among the thick boughsH5688, and his heartH3824 is lifted upH7311 in his heightH1363;

To whom art thou thus likeH1819 in gloryH3519 and in greatnessH1433 among the treesH6086 of EdenH5731? yet shalt thou be brought downH3381 with the treesH6086 of EdenH5731 unto the nether partsH8482 of the earthH776: thou shalt lieH7901 in the midstH8432 of the uncircumcisedH6189 with them that be slainH2491 by the swordH2719. This is PharaohH6547 and all his multitudeH1995, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Wherefore do the wickedH7563 liveH2421, become oldH6275, yea, are mightyH1396 in powerH2428?

They takeH5375 the timbrelH8596 and harpH3658, and rejoiceH8055 at the soundH6963 of the organH5748.

The treeH363 that thou sawestH2370, which grewH7236, and was strongH8631, whose heightH7314 reachedH4291 unto the heavenH8065, and the sightH2379 thereof to allH3606 the earthH772;
Whose leavesH6074 were fairH8209, and the fruitH4 thereof muchH7690, and in it was meatH4203 for allH3606; underH8460 which the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251 dweltH1753, and upon whose branchesH6056 the fowlsH6853 of the heavenH8065 had their habitationH7932:
It is thouH607, O kingH4430, that art grownH7236 and become strongH8631: for thy greatnessH7238 is grownH7236, and reachethH4291 unto heavenH8065, and thy dominionH7985 to the endH5491 of the earthH772.
And whereas the kingH4430 sawH2370 a watcherH5894 and an holy oneH6922 coming downH5182 fromH4481 heavenH8065, and sayingH560, HewH1414 the treeH363 downH1414, and destroyH2255 it; yetH1297 leaveH7662 the stumpH6136 of the rootsH8330 thereof in the earthH772, even with a bandH613 of ironH6523 and brassH5174, in the tender grassH1883 of the fieldH1251; and let it be wetH6647 with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065, and let his portionH2508 be withH5974 the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251, tillH5705 sevenH7655 timesH5732 passH2499 overH5922 him;
ThisH1836 is the interpretationH6591, O kingH4430, and thisH1932 is the decreeH1510 of the most HighH5943, which is comeH4291 uponH5922 my lordH4756 the kingH4430:
That they shall driveH2957 thee fromH4481 menH606, and thy dwellingH4070 shall beH1934 withH5974 the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251, and they shall make thee to eatH2939 grassH6211 as oxenH8450, and they shall wetH6647 thee with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065, and sevenH7655 timesH5732 shall passH2499 overH5922 thee, tillH5705 thou knowH3046 that the most HighH5943 rulethH7990 in the kingdomH4437 of menH606, and givethH5415 it to whomsoeverH4479 he willH6634.
And whereas they commandedH560 to leaveH7662 the stumpH6136 of the treeH363 rootsH8330; thy kingdomH4437 shall be sureH7011 unto thee, afterH4481 that thou shalt have knownH3046 that the heavensH8065 do ruleH7990.
WhereforeH3861, O kingH4430, let my counselH4431 be acceptableH8232 unto theeH5922, and break offH6562 thy sinsH2408 by righteousnessH6665, and thine iniquitiesH5758 by shewing mercyH2604 to the poorH6033; ifH2006 it may beH1934 a lengtheningH754 of thy tranquillityH7963. {a lengthening…: or, an healing of thine error}
AllH3606 this cameH4291 uponH5922 the kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020.
At the endH7118 of twelveH8648+H6236 monthsH3393 he walkedH1934+H1981 inH5922 the palaceH1965 of the kingdomH4437 of BabylonH895. {in: or, upon}
The kingH4430 spakeH6032, and saidH560, Is notH3809 thisH1932+H1668 greatH7229 BabylonH895, that IH576 have builtH1124 for the houseH1005 of the kingdomH4437 by the mightH8632 of my powerH2632, and for the honourH3367 of my majestyH1923?
WhileH5751 the wordH4406 was in the king'sH4430 mouthH6433, there fellH5308 a voiceH7032 fromH4481 heavenH8065, saying, O kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020, to thee it is spokenH560; The kingdomH4437 is departedH5709 fromH4481 thee.
And they shall driveH2957 thee fromH4481 menH606, and thy dwellingH4070 shall be withH5974 the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251: they shall make thee to eatH2939 grassH6211 as oxenH8450, and sevenH7655 timesH5732 shall passH2499 overH5922 thee, untilH5705 thou knowH3046 that the most HighH5943 rulethH7990 in the kingdomH4437 of menH606, and givethH5415 it to whomsoeverH4479 he willH6634.
The same hourH8160 was the thingH4406 fulfilledH5487 uponH5922 NebuchadnezzarH5020: and he was drivenH2957 fromH4481 menH606, and did eatH399 grassH6211 as oxenH8450, and his bodyH1655 was wetH6647 with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065, tillH5705 his hairsH8177 were grownH7236 like eagles'H5403 feathers, and his nailsH2953 like birds'H6853 claws.
I will ascendH5927 above the heightsH1116 of the cloudsH5645; I will be likeH1819 the most HighH5945.
Yet thou shalt be brought downH3381 to hellH7585, to the sidesH3411 of the pitH953.
They that seeH7200 thee shall narrowly lookH7688 upon thee, and considerH995 thee, saying, Is this the manH376 that made the earthH776 to trembleH7264, that did shakeH7493 kingdomsH4467;
That madeH7760 the worldH8398 as a wildernessH4057, and destroyedH2040 the citiesH5892 thereof; that openedH6605 not the houseH1004 of his prisonersH615? {opened…: or, did not let his prisoners loose homeward?}
All the kingsH4428 of the nationsH1471, even all of them, lieH7901 in gloryH3519, every oneH376 in his own houseH1004.
But thou art cast outH7993 of thy graveH6913 like an abominableH8581 branchH5342, and as the raimentH3830 of those that are slainH2026, thrust throughH2944 with a swordH2719, that go downH3381 to the stonesH68 of the pitH953; as a carcaseH6297 trodden under feetH947.
