A psalm for David, for a remembrance of the sabbath.
I am become miserable, and am bowed down even to the end: I walked sorrowful all the day long.
Let not thy heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long:
Contend not with the wicked, nor seek to be like the ungodly:
Envy not the unjust man, and do not follow his ways:
Seek not to be like evil men, neither desire to be with them:
Lift up thy hands against their pride unto the end; see what things the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
Envies, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like. Of the which I foretell you, as I have foretold to you, that they who do such things shall not obtain the kingdom of God.
The folly of a man supplanteth his seeps: and he fretteth in his mind against God.
The just shall be astonished at this: and the innocent shall be raised up against the hypocrite.
But let it not be well with the wicked, neither let his days be prolonged, but as a shadow let them pass away that fear not the face of the Lord.
