1Don’t fret because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.

1[A Psalm] of David. Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, Neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.

6And he will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, And thy justice as the noon-day.
7Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.
7 Ma fulanzam hinne Rabbi ra, Ma hin suuru ka hangan a se. Ma si ni boŋ taabandi boro kaŋ goono ga te albarka nga fonda ra sabbay se, Nga kaŋ ga dabari laaloyaŋ kaa taray, I ga ŋwa mo.
7Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him: Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, Because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Don’t fret, it leads only to evildoing.
