For You light my lamp; The Lord my God illumines my darkness. | It is you who light my lamp; the Lord, my God, lights up my darkness. |
The fear of man brings a snare, But one who trusts in the Lord will be protected. | The fear of others lays a snare, but one who trusts in the Lord is secure. |
|
One who guards his mouth protects his life; One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin. | Those who guard their mouths preserve their lives; those who open wide their lips 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, who do his commands; seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you may be hidden on the day of the Lord's wrath. |
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 justice; he will not forsake his faithful ones. The righteous shall be kept safe forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off. |
For he will never be shaken; The righteous will be remembered forever. | For the righteous will never be moved; they will be remembered forever. |
