A Psalm of David. Do not inflame yourself with evildoers; and do not be envious against workers of perversity;
Upright ones shall be amazed at this; and the innocent one shall stir himself against the godless one.
Rest in Jehovah and wait patiently for Him; inflame not yourself with him who prospers in his way, with the man practicing wicked wiles.
For I was jealous of those boasting; I saw the peace of the wicked ones.
The folly of man perverts his way, and his heart rages against Jehovah.
Do not let your heart envy sinners, but only be in the fear of Jehovah all the day.
Do not envy evil men, nor desire to be with them.
Do not be hot in anger because of evildoers, and do not envy the wicked ones;
Do not be envious of the man of violence, and choose not among all his ways.
But it shall not be good for the wicked one; and he shall not prolong his days like a shadow, because he does not fear before God.
envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revelings, and things like these; of which I tell you beforehand, even as I also said before, that the ones practicing such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
