Do not let arrogant men overtake me, or let evil men make me homeless!

By David. Do not fret when wicked men seem to succeed! Do not envy evildoers!

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Wicked men will be wiped out, but those who rely on the Lord are the ones who will possess the land.

Evil men will soon disappear; you will stare at the spot where they once were, but they will be gone.

Evil men plot against the godly and viciously attack them.

Evil men draw their swords and prepare their bows, to bring down the oppressed and needy, and to slaughter those who are godly.

A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.

for evil men will lose their power, but the Lord sustains the godly.

But evil men will die; the Lord's enemies will be incinerated -- they will go up in smoke.

The sinner takes money and does not give it back; but the upright man has mercy, and gives to others.

The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.

I have been young, and now am old, but I have not seen the good man without help, or his children looking for bread.

For, Yahweh, loveth justice, and will not forsake his men of lovingkindness, Unto times age-abiding, have the perverse been destroyed, - and the seed of the lawless, been cut off.

The mouth of the good man says words of wisdom; the talk of his tongue is of righteousness.

The sinners are watching the upright man, desiring to put him to death.

Rely on the Lord! Obey his commands! Then he will permit you to possess the land; you will see the demise of evil men.

I have seen a wicked, violent man [with great power]
Spreading and flaunting himself like a cedar in its native soil,

Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.

But, transgressors, are to be destroyed together, the hereafter of lawless men, is to be cut off.

The Lord helps them and rescues them; he rescues them from evil men and delivers them, for they seek his protection.

For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

For mine iniquities passed over my head: as a heavy lifting up they will be loaded above me.

My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

My lovers and mine associates stand aloof from my stroke; and my kinsmen stand afar off.

But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

And I as a man that heard not, and not in his mouth confutations

My desire is that mine enemies triumph not over me; for if my foot slip, they rejoice greatly against me.

For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.

And they requiting evil for good will be mine adversaries, for my pursuing Thou Thou wilt not forsake me, O Jehovah: my God, thou wilt not remove far off from me.

For the music director, Jeduthun; a psalm of David. I decided, "I will watch what I say and make sure I do not sin with my tongue. I will put a muzzle over my mouth while in the presence of an evil man."

LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.

Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.

Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.

Make me free from all my sins; do not let me be shamed by the man of evil behaviour.

When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.

He hath put a new song in my mouth, even a thanksgiving unto our God. Many men seeing this, shall fear the LORD, and put their trust in him.

Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

O LORD my God, great are the wondrous works which thou hast done, like as be also thy thoughts, which are to us-ward; and yet there is no man that ordereth them unto thee. If I should declare them, and speak of them, they should be more than I am able to express.

Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

To do thy good-pleasure, O my God, is my delight, And, thy law, is in the midst of mine inward parts:

For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.

Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;

Happy is the man who gives thought to the poor; the Lord will be his saviour in the time of trouble.

Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?

All mine enemies whisper together against me; even against me do they imagine this evil.

Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.

By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.

My tears have been my food day and night,
While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”

Why are you in despair, O my soul?
And why have you become restless and disturbed within me?
Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall again praise Him
For the help of His presence.

As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?

Why are you in despair, O my soul?
Why have you become restless and disquieted within me?
Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall yet praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God.

Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

That I may go in unto the altar of God, Unto GOD, mine exultant joy, - That I may praise thee with the lyre, O God - mine own God!

Why are you in despair, O my soul?
And why are you restless and disturbed within me?
Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall again praise Him,
The help of my [sad] countenance and my God.

Thou sellest thy people for naught, and takest no money for them.

Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

He will subjugate, Peoples under us, and, Tribes of men beneath our feet.

Both men of low and men of high degree, rich and poor alike.

I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.

Why should I be afraid in times of trouble, when the sinful deeds of deceptive men threaten to overwhelm me?

Surely a man cannot redeem a brother. He cannot give to God his ransom

(Because it takes a great price to keep his soul from death, and man is not able to give it.)

For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.

Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.

This their way is their folly: Yet after them men approve their sayings. Selah

Be not afraid when a man becometh rich, when the glory of his house is increased:

Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.

Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.

Gather yourselves unto me - ye my men of lovingkindness, Who have solemnised my covenant over sacrifice.

For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.

I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.

If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

But to the wicked man God says, What have thou to do to declare my statutes, and that thou have taken my covenant in thy mouth,

When you see a thief, you join him; you associate with men who are unfaithful to their wives.

{To the chanter, a Psalm of David, when the Prophet Nathan came unto him, after he was gone in to Bathsheba} Have mercy upon me, O God, after thy great goodness; according to the multitude of thy mercies do away mine offences.

Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

Look, you desire integrity in the inner man; you want me to possess wisdom.

Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

{To the chief Musician, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech.} Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.

Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

I will praise thee to times age-abiding, Because thou didst effectually work, - And I will wait on thy Name, Because it is good, In the presence of thy men of lovingkindness.

The foolish man has said in his heart, God will not do anything. They are unclean, they have done evil works; there is not one who does good.

God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

For strangers are risen up against me, And violent men have sought after my soul: They have not set God before them. Selah

Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.

For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.

Attend unto me, and answer me: I am restless in my complaint, and moan,

I would hasten mine escape, From rushing wind, from storm.

If it were mine enemy that reviled me, I could bear it: or if one that ought me evil will did threaten me, I would hide myself from him.

But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.

Evening, and morning, and at noonday, will I complain, and moan; And he will hear my voice.

God will hear, and answer them, Even he that abideth of old, Selah The men who have no changes, And who fear not God.

Put your cares on the Lord, and he will be your support; he will not let the upright man be moved.

But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.
