The wicked, in the haughtiness of his face, will not seek nor inquire for Him;
All his thoughts are, “There is no God [so there is no accountability or punishment].”

His ways prosper at all times;
Your judgments [Lord] are on high, out of his sight [so he never thinks about them];
As for all his enemies, he sneers at them.

He says to himself, “God has [quite] forgotten;
He has hidden His face; He will never see my deed.”

He does not put out his money at interest [to a fellow Israelite],
And does not take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things will never be shaken.

For the king [confidently] trusts in the Lord,
And through the lovingkindness (faithfulness, goodness) of the Most High he will never be shaken.

As for me, in my prosperity I said,
“I shall never be moved.”

In You, O Lord, I have placed my trust and taken refuge;
Let me never be ashamed;
In Your righteousness rescue me.

They looked to Him and were radiant;
Their faces will never blush in shame or confusion.

For the ransom of his soul is too costly,
And he should cease trying forever—

So that he should live on eternally,
That he should never see the pit (grave) and undergo decay.

Cast your burden on the Lord [release it] and He will sustain and uphold you;
He will never allow the righteous to be shaken (slip, fall, fail).

So that it does not listen to the voice of charmers,
Or of the skillful enchanter casting [cunning] spells.

In you, O Lord, I have put my trust and confidently taken refuge;
Let me never be put to shame.

So that He abandoned the tabernacle at Shiloh,
The tent in which He had dwelled among men,

“Because he set his love on Me, therefore I will save him;
I will set him [securely] on high, because he knows My name [he confidently trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never abandon him, no, never].

I will never forget Your precepts,
For by them You have revived me and given me life.
