1
[A Psalm] of David. Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
Wees nie jaloers op die kwaaddoeners nie, en wees nie afgunstig op die werkers van ongeregtigheid nie.

AFR DVK
2
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
Want hulle sal spoedig afgesny word soos die gras, en verdor soos die groen kruid.
3
Trust in the LORD, and do good; [so] shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
Vertrou op die HERE, en doen die goeie; so sal jy in die land woon, en waarlik gevoed word.
4
Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Verlustig jou ook in die HERE; en Hy sal jou die begeertes van jou hart gee.
5
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass.
Rol jou weg op die HERE; vertrou ook op Hom; en Hy sal dit voortbring.
6
And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
En Hy sal jou geregtigheid soos die lig voortbring, en jou oordeel soos die middag.
7
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.
Rus in die HERE, en wag geduldig op Hom: wees nie jaloers op hom wat voorspoedig is in sy weg nie, op die man wat boos toestelle uitvoer nie.
8
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
Hou op van toorn, en laat die grimmigheid vaar: wees nie jaloers om enigerlei wyse om kwaad te doen nie.
9
For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
Want die kwaaddoeners sal afgesny word: maar dié wat op die HERE wag, hulle sal die aarde erf.
10
For yet a little while, and the wicked [shall] not [be]: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it [shall] not [be].
Want nog ‚'n bietjie, en die goddelose sal nie wees nie: ja, jy sal aandagtig na sy plek kyk, en dit sal nie wees nie.
11
But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
Maar die nederiges sal die aarde erf; en sal hulle verlustig in die menigte van vrede.
12
The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
Die goddelose bedink teen die regverdige, en kners op hom met sy tande.
13
The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
Die Here sal oor hom lag: want Hy sien dat sy dag kom.
14
The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, [and] to slay such as be of upright conversation.
Die goddelose het die swaard getrek, en die boog gespandeer, om die arme en behoeftige neer te werp, en om dié dood te maak wat van opregte wandel is.
15
Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
Hulle swaard sal in hulle eie hart ingaan, en hulle boë sal verbreek word.
16
A little that a righteous man hath [is] better than the riches of many wicked.
‚'n Bietjie wat ‚'n regverdige man het, is beter as die rykdom van baie goddelose.
17
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
Want die arms van die goddelose sal verbreek word: maar die HERE ondersteun die regverdiges.
18
The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
Die HERE ken die dae van die opregte: en hulle erfenis sal vir ewig wees.
19
They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Hulle sal nie beskaamd word in die bose tyd nie: en in die dae van hongersnood sal hulle versadig wees.
20
But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD [shall be] as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
Maar die goddelose sal vergaan, en die vyande van die HERE sal wees soos die vet van lammers: hulle sal verteer; in rook sal hulle verteer word.
21
The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.
Die goddelose leen, en betaal nie: maar die regverdige toon barmhartigheid, en gee.
22
For [such as be] blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and [they that be] cursed of him shall be cut off.
Want sulkes as deur Hom geseën is, sal die aarde erf; en dié wat deur Hom vervloek is, sal afgesny word.
23
The steps of a [good] man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
Die treë van ’n goeie man word deur die HERE georden: en Hy behae in sy weg.
24
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth [him with] his hand.
Al val hy, sal hy nie heeltemal neergewerp word nie: want die HERE ondersteun hom met sy hand.
25
I have been young, and [now] am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
Ek was jonk, en is nou oud; tog het ek nie die regverdige verlaat gesien nie, en sy saad brood soek nie.
26
[He is] ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed [is] blessed.
Hy is altyd barmhartig, en leen; en sy saad is geseënd.
27
Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
Wyk af van die kwaad, en doen die goeie; en woon vir ewig.
28
For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
Want die HERE lief die oordeel, en verlaat nie sy heiliges nie; hulle word vir ewig bewaar: maar die saad van die goddelose sal afgesny word.
29
The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
Die regverdiges sal die land erf, en daarin woon vir ewig.
30
The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
Die mond van die regverdige spreek wysheid, en sy tong praat van oordeel.
31
The law of his God [is] in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
Die wet van sy God is in sy hart; nie een van sy treë sal gly nie.
32
The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
Die goddelose bespied die regverdige, en soek om hom dood te maak.
33
The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
Die HERE sal hom nie in sy hand laat nie, en Hom nie veroordeel wanneer hy geoordeel word nie.
34
Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see [it].
Wag op die HERE, en bewaar sy weg, en Hy sal jou verhoog om die land te erf: wanneer die goddelose afgesny word, sal jy dit sien.
35
I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
Ek het die goddelose in groot mag gesien, en uitspreidend soos ‚'n groen bayboom.
36
Yet he passed away, and, lo, he [was] not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
Tog is hy verbygegaan, en kyk, hy was nie: ja, ek het hom gesoek, maar hy kon nie gevind word nie.
37
Mark the perfect [man], and behold the upright: for the end of [that] man [is] peace.
Merk die volkome man, en aanskou die opregte: want die einde van daardie man is vrede.
38
But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
Maar die oortreders sal saam vernietig word: die einde van die goddelose sal afgesny word.
39
But the salvation of the righteous [is] of the LORD: [he is] their strength in the time of trouble.
Maar die heil van die regverdiges is van die HERE: Hy is hulle sterkte in die tyd van benoudheid.
40
And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
En die HERE sal hulle help, en hulle verlos: Hy sal hulle van die goddelose verlos, en hulle red, omdat hulle op Hom vertrou.
