Berean Standard Bible
1Psalmus David, in rememorationem de sabbato.
1Do not fret over those who do evil; do not envy those who do wrong.
2[Domine, ne in furore tuo arguas me, neque in ira tua corripias me:
2For they wither quickly like grass and wilt like tender plants.
3quoniam sagittæ tuæ infixæ sunt mihi, et confirmasti super me manum tuam.
3Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.
4Non est sanitas in carne mea, a facie iræ tuæ; non est pax ossibus meis, a facie peccatorum meorum:
4Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart.
5quoniam iniquitates meæ supergressæ sunt caput meum, et sicut onus grave gravatæ sunt super me.
5Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him, and He will do it.
6Putruerunt et corruptæ sunt cicatrices meæ, a facie insipientiæ meæ.
6He will bring forth your righteousness like the dawn, your justice like the noonday sun.
7Miser factus sum et curvatus sum usque in finem; tota die contristatus ingrediebar.
7Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for Him; do not fret when men prosper in their ways, when they carry out wicked schemes.
8Quoniam lumbi mei impleti sunt illusionibus, et non est sanitas in carne mea.
8Refrain from anger and abandon wrath; do not fret—it can only bring harm.
9Afflictus sum, et humiliatus sum nimis; rugiebam a gemitu cordis mei.
9For the evildoers will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.
10Domine, ante te omne desiderium meum, et gemitus meus a te non est absconditus.
10Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.
11Cor meum conturbatum est; dereliquit me virtus mea, et lumen oculorum meorum, et ipsum non est mecum.
11But the meek will inherit the land and delight in abundant prosperity.
12Amici mei et proximi mei adversum me appropinquaverunt, et steterunt; et qui juxta me erant, de longe steterunt: et vim faciebant qui quærebant animam meam.
12The wicked scheme against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them,
13Et qui inquirebant mala mihi, locuti sunt vanitates, et dolos tota die meditabantur.
13but the Lord laughs, seeing that their day is coming.
14Ego autem, tamquam surdus, non audiebam; et sicut mutus non aperiens os suum.
14The wicked have drawn the sword and bent the bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright.
15Et factus sum sicut homo non audiens, et non habens in ore suo redargutiones.
15But their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.
16Quoniam in te, Domine, speravi; tu exaudies me, Domine Deus meus.
16Better is the little of the righteous than the abundance of many who are wicked.
17Quia dixi: Nequando supergaudeant mihi inimici mei; et dum commoventur pedes mei, super me magna locuti sunt.
17For the arms of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.
18Quoniam ego in flagella paratus sum, et dolor meus in conspectu meo semper.
18The LORD knows the days of the blameless, and their inheritance will last forever.
19Quoniam iniquitatem meam annuntiabo, et cogitabo pro peccato meo.
19In the time of evil they will not be ashamed, and in the days of famine they will be satisfied.
20Inimici autem mei vivunt, et confirmati sunt super me: et multiplicati sunt qui oderunt me inique.
20But the wicked and enemies of the LORD will perish like the glory of the fields. They will vanish; like smoke they will fade away.
21Qui retribuunt mala pro bonis detrahebant mihi, quoniam sequebar bonitatem.
21The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous are gracious and giving.
22Ne derelinquas me, Domine Deus meus; ne discesseris a me.
22Surely those He blesses will inherit the land, but the cursed will be destroyed.
23Intende in adjutorium meum, Domine Deus salutis meæ.]
23The steps of a man are ordered by the LORD who takes delight in his journey.
