The way of Jehovah `is' strength to the perfect, And ruin to workers of iniquity.
Is not calamity to the perverse? And strangeness to workers of iniquity?
For Jehovah is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!
There have workers of iniquity fallen, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!
But the wicked perish, and the enemies of Jehovah, As the preciousness of lambs, Have been consumed, In smoke they have been consumed.
They go from strength unto strength, He appeareth unto God in Zion.
When the wicked flourish as a herb, And blossom do all workers of iniquity -- For their being destroyed for ever and ever!
In the death of a wicked man, hope perisheth, And the expectation of the iniquitous hath been lost.
Righteousness keepeth him who is perfect in the way, And wickedness overthroweth a sin offering.
To do justice `is' joy to the righteous, But ruin to workers of iniquity.
But those expecting Jehovah pass `to' power, They raise up the pinion as eagles, They run and are not fatigued, They go on and do not faint!
Who `is' wise, and doth understand these? Prudent, and knoweth them? For upright are the ways of Jehovah, And the righteous go on in them, And the transgressors stumble therein!
And I have made them mighty in Jehovah, And in His name they walk up and down, An affirmation of Jehovah!
For all things I have strength, in Christ's strengthening me;
