Trust in the Lord and do good; Live in the land and cultivate faithfulness. | Trust in Yahweh, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture. |
Delight yourself in the Lord; And He will give you the desires of your heart. | Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. |
|
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 Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will make your righteousness shine out like light, and your justice as the noon day sun. |
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. | Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen. |
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. | Better is a little that the righteous has, than the abundance of many wicked. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Yahweh upholds the righteous. |
The wicked borrows and does not pay back, But the righteous is gracious and gives. | The wicked borrow, and don’t pay back, but the righteous give generously. |
The steps of a man are established by the Lord, And He delights in his way. | A man’s steps are established by Yahweh. He delights in his way. |
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 Yahweh loves justice, and doesn’t forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off. |
