Do not be preoccupied with an evildoer who succeeds in his way when he carries out his schemes. Let go of anger, and leave rage behind. Do not be agitated with anger and jealousy. It only leads to evil. For evildoers will be destroyed, but those who wait for Jehovah will inherit the land. A short time from now the wicked man will be no more.

The wicked plots against the righteous and grinds at him with his teeth. Jehovah laughs at him, for he sees that his day will come. The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bow to throw down the afflicted and the needy, to slay those who are upright in conduct. Their sword will enter their own heart. Their bows will be broken. Better is the little of the righteous than the abundance of many wicked. The arms of the wicked will be broken, but Jehovah sustains the righteous. Jehovah knows the days of the blameless. Their inheritance will be forever. They will not be ashamed in the time of evil. In the days of famine they will have abundance. But the wicked will perish! The enemies of Jehovah will be like the glory of the pastures. They vanish, like smoke they vanish away. The wicked borrows and does not pay back. But the righteous is gracious and gives.

Turn away from evil, do good, and live forever. Jehovah loves justice, and he will not abandon his godly ones. They will be kept safe forever, but the descendants of the wicked will be destroyed. The righteous will inherit (seize) (take possession of) the earth, and dwell on it forever (in perpetuity). The mouth of the righteous reflects on wisdom. His tongue speaks what is fair. The law of his God is in his heart. His steps do not waver (slip). The wicked spies upon the righteous and seeks to kill him. Jehovah will not leave him in his hand or let him be condemned when he is judged. Wait for Jehovah and keep his way and he will exalt you to inherit the earth. You will see it when the wicked are destroyed. I have seen a wicked, violent man spreading himself like a luxuriant tree in its native soil. Then he passed away, and lo, he was no more. I searched for him, but he could not be found. Mark the blameless man, and behold the upright. His future will be filled with peace. But transgressors will be altogether destroyed. The posterity of the wicked will be destroyed. But the salvation of the righteous is from Jehovah. He is their strength in time of trouble. Jehovah helps them and delivers them. He delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take put their trust in Him.
