For You light my lamp; The Lord my God illumines my darkness. | For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness. |
The fear of man brings a snare, But one who trusts in the Lord will be protected. | The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe. |
|
One who guards his mouth protects his life; One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin. | He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. |
Seek the Lord, All you humble of the earth Who have practiced His ordinances; Seek righteousness, seek humility. Perhaps you will remain hidden On the day of the Lord’s anger. | Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord's anger. |
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 loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. |
For he will never be shaken; The righteous will be remembered forever. | Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. |
