| For You light my lamp; The Lord my God illumines my darkness. | You, Lord, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light. |
| The fear of man brings a snare, But one who trusts in the Lord will be protected. | Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe. |
|
| One who guards his mouth protects his life; One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin. | Those who guard their lips preserve their lives, but those who speak rashly will come to ruin. |
| 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 the Lord, all you humble of the land, you who do what he commands. Seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you will be sheltered on 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 loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed; the offspring of the wicked will perish. |
| For he will never be shaken; The righteous will be remembered forever. | Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever. |
