Do not be enviousof evilmen,Nordesireto be with them;
How blessedis the manwhodoes not walkin the counselof the wicked,Norstandin the pathof sinners,Norsitin the seatof scoffers!
Do not takemy soulaway[along] with sinners,Normy lifewith menof bloodshed,
Do not fretbecause of evildoers,Be not envioustoward wrongdoers.
Restin the LORDand waitpatientlyfor Him; Do not fretbecause of him who prospersin his way,Because of the manwho carriesout wickedschemes.
For I was enviousof the arrogant[As] I sawthe prosperityof the wicked.
He who walkswith wisemenwill be wise,But the companionof foolswill sufferharm.
Do not let your heartenvysinners,But [live] in the fearof the LORDalways.
Do not fretbecause of evildoersOr be enviousof the wicked;
Do not envya manof violenceAnd do not chooseanyof his ways.
Do not enterthe pathof the wickedAnd do not proceedin the wayof evilmen.
Avoidit, do not passby it; Turnawayfrom it and passon.
