STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 לְדָוִד ׀ אַל־תִּתְחַר בַּמְּרֵעִים אַל־תְּקַנֵּא בְּעֹשֵׂי עַוְלָה	1 A psalm for David himself. Be not emulous of evildoers; nor envy them that work iniquity.
2 כִּי כֶחָצִיר מְהֵרָה יִמָּלוּ וּכְיֶרֶק דֶּשֶׁא יִבֹּולוּן	2 For they shall shortly wither away as grass, and as the green herbs shall quickly fall.
3 בְּטַח בַּיהוָה וַעֲשֵׂה־טֹוב שְׁכָן־אֶרֶץ וּרְעֵה אֱמוּנָה	3 Trust in the Lord, and do good, and dwell in the land, and thou shalt be fed with its riches.
4 וְהִתְעַנַּג עַל־יְהוָה וְיִתֶּן־לְךָ מִשְׁאֲלֹת לִבֶּךָ	4 Delight in the Lord, and he will give thee the requests of thy heart.
5 גֹּול עַל־יְהוָה דַּרְכֶּךָ וּבְטַח עָלָיו וְהוּא יַעֲשֶׂה	5 Commit thy way to the Lord, and trust in him, and he will do it.
6 וְהֹוצִיא כָאֹור צִדְקֶךָ וּמִשְׁפָּטֶךָ כַּצָּהֳרָיִם	6 And he will bring forth thy justice as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7 דֹּום ׀ לַיהוָה וְהִתְחֹולֵל לֹו אַל־תִּתְחַר בְּמַצְלִיחַ דַּרְכֹּו בְּאִישׁ עֹשֶׂה מְזִמֹּות	7 Be subject to the Lord and pray to him Envy not the man who prospereth in his way; the man who doth unjust things.
8 הֶרֶף מֵאַף וַעֲזֹב חֵמָה אַל־תִּתְחַר אַךְ־לְהָרֵעַ	8 Cease from anger, and leave rage; have no emulation to do evil.
9 כִּי־מְרֵעִים יִכָּרֵתוּן וְקֹוֵי יְהוָה הֵמָּה יִירְשׁוּ־אָרֶץ	9 For the evildoers shall be cut off : but they that wait upon the Lord shall inherit the land.
10 וְעֹוד מְעַט וְאֵין רָשָׁע וְהִתְבֹּונַנְתָּ עַל־מְקֹומֹו וְאֵינֶנּוּ	10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be : and thou shalt seek his place, and shalt not find it.
11 וַעֲנָוִים יִירְשׁוּ־אָרֶץ וְהִתְעַנְּגוּ עַל־רֹב שָׁלֹום	11 But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight in abundance of peace.
12 זֹמֵם רָשָׁע לַצַּדִּיק וְחֹרֵק עָלָיו שִׁנָּיו	12 The sinner shall watch the just man : and shall gnash upon him with his teeth.
13 אֲדֹנָי יִשְׂחַק־לֹו כִּי־רָאָה כִּי־יָבֹא יֹומֹו	13 But the Lord shall laugh at him : for he foreseeth that his day shall come.
14 חֶרֶב ׀ פָּתְחוּ רְשָׁעִים וְדָרְכוּ קַשְׁתָּם לְהַפִּיל עָנִי וְאֶבְיֹון לִטְבֹוחַ יִשְׁרֵי־דָרֶךְ	14 The wicked have drawn out the sword : they have bent their bow. To cast down the poor and needy, to kill the upright of heart.
15 חַרְבָּם תָּבֹוא בְלִבָּם וְקַשְּׁתֹותָם תִּשָּׁבַרְנָה	15 Let their sword enter into their own hearts, and let their bow be broken.
16 טֹוב־מְעַט לַצַּדִּיק מֵהֲמֹון רְשָׁעִים רַבִּים	16 Better is a little to the just, than the great riches of the wicked.
17 כִּי זְרֹועֹות רְשָׁעִים תִּשָּׁבַרְנָה וְסֹומֵךְ צַדִּיקִים יְהוָה	17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken in pieces; but the Lord strengtheneth the just.
18 יֹודֵעַ יְהוָה יְמֵי תְמִימִם וְנַחֲלָתָם לְעֹולָם תִּהְיֶה	18 The Lord knoweth the days of undefiled; and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19 לֹא־יֵבֹשׁוּ בְּעֵת רָעָה וּבִימֵי רְעָבֹון יִשְׂבָּעוּ	19 They shall not be confounded in the evil time; and in the days of famine they shall be filled :
20 כִּי רְשָׁעִים ׀ יֹאבֵדוּ וְאֹיְבֵי יְהוָה כִּיקַר כָּרִים כָּלוּ בֶעָשָׁן כָּלוּ	20 because the wicked shall perish. And the enemies of the Lord, presently after they shall be honoured and exalted, shall come to nothing and vanish like smoke.
21 לֹוֶה רָשָׁע וְלֹא יְשַׁלֵּם וְצַדִּיק חֹונֵן וְנֹותֵן	21 The sinner shall borrow, and not pay again; but the just sheweth mercy and shall give.
22 כִּי מְבֹרָכָיו יִירְשׁוּ אָרֶץ וּמְקֻלָּלָיו יִכָּרֵתוּ	22 For such as bless him shall inherit the land : but such as curse him shall perish.
23 מֵיְהוָה מִצְעֲדֵי־גֶבֶר כֹּונָנוּ וְדַרְכֹּו יֶחְפָּץ	23 With the Lord shall the steps of a man be directed, and he shall like well his way.
24 כִּי־יִפֹּל לֹא־יוּטָל כִּי־יְהוָה סֹומֵךְ יָדֹו	24 When he shall fall he shall not be bruised, for the Lord putteth his hand under him.
25 נַעַר ׀ הָיִיתִי גַּם־זָקַנְתִּי וְלֹא־רָאִיתִי צַדִּיק נֶעֱזָב וְזַרְעֹו מְבַקֶּשׁ־לָחֶם	25 I have been young, and now am old; and I have not seen the just forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread.
26 כָּל־הַיֹּום חֹונֵן וּמַלְוֶה וְזַרְעֹו לִבְרָכָה	26 He sheweth mercy, and lendeth all the day long; and his seed shall be in blessing.
27 סוּר מֵרָע וַעֲשֵׂה־טֹוב וּשְׁכֹן לְעֹולָם	27 Decline from evil and do good, and dwell for ever and ever.
28 כִּי יְהוָה ׀ אֹהֵב מִשְׁפָּט וְלֹא־יַעֲזֹב אֶת־חֲסִידָיו לְעֹולָם נִשְׁמָרוּ וְזֶרַע רְשָׁעִים נִכְרָת	28 For the Lord loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints : they shall be preserved for ever. The unjust shall be punished, and the seed of the wicked shall perish.
29 צַדִּיקִים יִירְשׁוּ־אָרֶץ וְיִשְׁכְּנוּ לָעַד עָלֶיהָ	29 But the just shall inherit the land, and shall dwell therein for evermore.
30 פִּי־צַדִּיק יֶהְגֶּה חָכְמָה וּלְשֹׁונֹו תְּדַבֵּר מִשְׁפָּט	30 The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom : and his tongue shall speak judgment.
31 תֹּורַת אֱלֹהָיו בְּלִבֹּו לֹא תִמְעַד אֲשֻׁרָיו	31 The law of his God is in his heart, and his steps shall not be supplanted.
32 צֹופֶה רָשָׁע לַצַּדִּיק וּמְבַקֵּשׁ לַהֲמִיתֹו	32 The wicked watcheth the just man, and seeketh to put him to death,
33 יְהוָה לֹא־יַעַזְבֶנּוּ בְיָדֹו וְלֹא יַרְשִׁיעֶנּוּ בְּהִשָּׁפְטֹו	33 But the Lord will not leave in his hands; nor condemn him when he shall be judged.
34 קַוֵּה אֶל־יְהוָה ׀ וּשְׁמֹר דַּרְכֹּו וִירֹומִמְךָ לָרֶשֶׁת אָרֶץ בְּהִכָּרֵת רְשָׁעִים תִּרְאֶה	34 Expect the Lord and keep his way : and he will exalt thee to inherit the land : when the sinners shall perish thou shalt see.
35 רָאִיתִי רָשָׁע עָרִיץ וּמִתְעָרֶה כְּאֶזְרָח רַעֲנָן	35 I have seen the wicked highly exalted, and lifted up like the cedars of Libanus.
36 וַיַּעֲבֹר וְהִנֵּה אֵינֶנּוּ וָאֲבַקְשֵׁהוּ וְלֹא נִמְצָא	36 And I passed by, and lo, he was not : and I sought him and his place was not found.
37 שְׁמָר־תָּם וּרְאֵה יָשָׁר כִּי־אַחֲרִית לְאִישׁ שָׁלֹום	37 Keep innocence, and behold justice : for there are remnants for the peaceable man.
38 וּפֹשְׁעִים נִשְׁמְדוּ יַחְדָּו אַחֲרִית רְשָׁעִים נִכְרָתָה	38 But the unjust shall be destroyed together : the remnants of the wicked shall perish.
39 וּתְשׁוּעַת צַדִּיקִים מֵיְהוָה מָעוּזָּם בְּעֵת צָרָה	39 But the salvation of the just is from the Lord, and he is their protector in the time of trouble.
40 וַיַּעְזְרֵם יְהוָה וַיְפַלְּטֵם יְפַלְּטֵם מֵרְשָׁעִים וְיֹושִׁיעֵם כִּי־חָסוּ בֹו	40 And the Lord will help them and deliver them : and he will rescue them from the wicked, and save them, because they have hoped in him.
