For he sees that even wise men die;
The fool and the stupid alike perish
And leave their wealth to others.

They are not in trouble as other men,
Nor are they plagued like mankind.

Steadfast love and truth and faithfulness meet together;
Righteousness and peace kiss each other.

Blessed are those who observe justice [by honoring God’s precepts],
Who practice righteousness at all times.

I also have become a reproach and an object of taunting to others;
When they see me, they shake their heads [in derision].

He has not dealt this way with any [other] nation;
They have not known [understood, appreciated, heeded, or cherished] His ordinances.
Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
