Be thou not then afraid when one enriched thou dost see, Nor when the glory of his house advanced is on high:

Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, When the glory of his house is increased;

Be not afraid when [an ungodly] one is made rich, when the wealth and glory of his house are increased;

Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, When the glory of his house is increased:

Don’t be overly impressed when someone becomes rich, their house swelling to fantastic proportions,

But to the sinner, God has said: Why do you discourse on my justices, and take up my covenant through your mouth?

But to the sinner God hath said: Why dost thou declare my justices, and take my covenant in thy mouth?

For evil-doers fret thou not thyself unquietly; Nor do thou envy bear to those that work iniquity.

Rest in the Lord, and patiently wait for him: do not fref For him who, prosp'ring in his way, success in sin doth get.

Amidst those days that evil be, why should I, fearing, doubt? When of my heels th' iniquity shall compass me about.
