Trust in the Lord and do good; Live in the land and cultivate faithfulness. | Put your trust in the Lord and do good, that you may dwell in the land and be secure. |
Delight yourself in the Lord; And He will give you the desires of your heart. | Take delight in the Lord, and he will grant you what your heart desires. |
|
Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, and He will do it. He will bring out your righteousness as the light, And your judgment as the noonday. | Commit your way to the Lord; place your trust in him, and he will act. He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, and the justice of your cause, like the noonday. |
Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him; Do not get upset because of one who is successful in his way, Because of the person who carries out wicked schemes. | Wait quietly for the Lord and be patient until he comes. Do not fret over the man who prospers because of his evil schemes. |
Better is the little of the righteous Than the abundance of many wicked. For the arms of the wicked will be broken, But the Lord sustains the righteous. | Preferable is the little that the righteous possess than the great wealth of the wicked. For the power of the wicked will be overcome, but the Lord protects the righteous. |
The wicked borrows and does not pay back, But the righteous is gracious and gives. | The wicked man borrows but neglects to repay, whereas the righteous man is generous in giving. |
The steps of a man are established by the Lord, And He delights in his way. | The Lord makes a man’s steps secure when he approves of his conduct. |
For the Lord loves justice And does not abandon His godly ones; They are protected forever, But the descendants of the wicked will be eliminated. | For the Lord loves the just, and he will not forsake his faithful ones. Those who follow evil paths will be destroyed, and the children of the wicked will be cut off. |
