¹ I am the Lord your God: you shall not make to yourselves any idol or graven thing, neither shall you erect pillars, nor set up a remarkable stone in your land, to adore it: for I am the Lord your God.

² Keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord.

³ If you walk in my precepts, and keep my commandments, and do them, I will give you rein in due seasons.

⁴ And the ground shall bring forth its increase, and the trees shall be filled with fruit.

⁵ The threshing of your harvest shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land without fear.

⁶ I will give peace in your coasts: you shall sleep, and there shall be none to make you afraid. I will take away evil beasts: and the sword shall not pass through your quarters.

⁷ You shall pursue your enemies, and they shall fall before you.

⁸ Five of yours shall pursue a hundred others, and a hundred of you ten thousand: your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

⁹ I will look on you, and make you increase: you shell be multiplied, and I will establish my covenant with you.

¹⁰ You shall eat the oldest of the old store, and, new coming on, you shall cast away the old.

¹¹ I will set my tabernacle in the midst of you, and my soul shall not cast you off.

¹² I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you shall be my people.

¹³ I am the Lord your God: who have brought you out of the land of the Egyptians, that you should not serve them, and who have broken the chains of your necks, that you might go upright.

¹⁴ But if you will not hear me, nor do all my commandments,

¹⁵ If you despise my laws, and contemn my judgments so as not to do those things which are appointed by me, and to make void my covenant:

¹⁶ I also will do these things to you: I will quickly visit you with poverty, and burning heat, which shall waste your eyes, and consume your lives. You shall sow your seed in vain, which shall be devoured by your enemies.

¹⁷ I will set my face against you, and you shall fall down before your enemies, and shall be made subject to them that hate you, you shall flee when no man pursueth you.

¹⁸ But if you will not yet for all this obey me: I will chastise you seven times more for your sins,

¹⁹ And I will break the pride of your stubbornness, and I will make to you the heaven above as iron, and the earth as brass:

²⁰ Your labour shall be spent in vain, the ground shall not bring forth her increase, nor the trees yield their fruit.

²¹ If you walk contrary to me, and will not hearken to me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you for your sins:

²² And I will send in upon you the beasts of the held, to destroy you and your cattle, and make you few in number, and that your highways may be desolate.

²³ And if even so you will not amend, but will walk contrary to me:

²⁴ I also will walk contrary to you, and will strike you seven times for your sins.

²⁵ And I will bring in upon you the sword that shall avenge my covenant. And when you shall flee into the cities, I will send the pestilence in the midst of you, and you shall be delivered into the hands of your enemies,

²⁶ After I shall have broken the staff of your bread: so that ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and give it out by weight: and you shall eat, and shall not be filled.

²⁷ But if you will not for all this hearken to me, but will walk against me:

²⁸ I will also go against you with opposite fury, and I will chastise you with seven plagues for your sins,

²⁹ So that you shall eat the flesh of your sons and of your daughters.

³⁰ I will destroy your high places, and break your idols. You shall fall among the ruins of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.

³¹ Insomuch that I will bring your cities to be a wilderness, and I will make your sanctuaries desolate, and will receive no more your sweet odours.

³² And I will destroy your land, and your enemies shall be astonished at it, when they shall be the inhabitants thereof.

³³ And I will scatter you among the Gentiles, and I will draw out the sword after you, and your land shall be desert, and your cities destroyed.

³⁴ Then shell the land enjoy her sabbaths all the days of her desolation: when you shall be

³⁵ In the enemy's land, she shall keep a sabbath, and rest in the sabbaths of her desolation, because she did not rest in your sabbaths when you dwelt therein.

³⁶ And as to them that shall remain of you I will send fear in their hearts in the countries of their enemies, the sound of a flying leaf shall terrify them, and they shall flee as it were from the sword: they shall fall, when no man pursueth them,

³⁷ And they shall every one fall upon their brethren as fleeing from wars, none of you shall dare to resist your enemies.

³⁸ You shall perish among the Gentiles, and an enemy's land shall consume you.

³⁹ And if of them also some remain, they shall pine away in their iniquities, in the land of their enemies, and they shall be afflicted for the sins of their fathers, and their own:

⁴⁰ Until they confess their iniquities and the iniquities of their ancestors, whereby they have transgressed me, and walked contrary unto me.

⁴¹ Therefore I also will walk them, and bring them into their enemies' land until their uncircumcised mind be ashamed: then shall they pray for their sins.

⁴² And I will remember my covenant, that I made with Jacob, and Isaac, and Abraham. I will remember also the land:

⁴³ Which when she shall be left by them, shall enjoy her sabbaths, being desolate for them. But they shall pray for their sins, because they rejected my judgments, and despised my laws.

⁴⁴ And yet for all that when they were in the land of their enemies, I did not cast them off altogether, neither did I so despise them that they should be quite consumed, and I should make void my covenant with them. For I am the Lord their God.

⁴⁵ And I will remember my former covenant, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, in the sight of the Gentiles, to be their God. I am the Lord. These are the judgments, and precepts, and laws, which the Lord gave between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.

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

² For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither like the green herb.

³ Trust in Yahweh, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.

⁴ Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

⁵ Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this:

⁶ he will make your righteousness go forth as the light, and your justice as the noon day sun.

⁷ Rest 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.

⁸ Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Don't fret, it leads only to evildoing.

⁹ For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for Yahweh shall inherit the land.

¹⁰ For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more. Yes, though you look for his place, he isn't there.

¹¹ But the humble shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

¹² The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth.

¹³ The Lord will laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming.

¹⁴ The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill those who are upright in the way.

¹⁵ Their sword shall enter into their own heart. Their bows shall be broken.

¹⁶ Better is a little that the righteous has, than the abundance of many wicked.

¹⁷ For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Yahweh upholds the righteous.

¹⁸ Yahweh knows the days of the perfect. Their inheritance shall be forever.

¹⁹ They shall not be disappointed in the time of evil. In the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

²⁰ But the wicked shall perish. The enemies of Yahweh shall be like the beauty of the fields. They will vanish-- vanish like smoke.

²¹ The wicked borrow, and don't pay back, but the righteous give generously.

²² For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land. Those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.

²³ A man's goings are established by Yahweh. He delights in his way.

²⁴ Though he stumble, he shall not fall, for Yahweh holds him up with his hand.

²⁵ I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread.

²⁶ All day long he deals graciously, and lends. His seed is blessed.

²⁷ Depart from evil, and do good. Live securely forever.

²⁸ For Yahweh loves justice, and doesn't forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.

²⁹ The righteous shall inherit the land, and live in it forever.

³⁰ The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom. His tongue speaks justice.

³¹ The law of his God is in his heart. None of his steps shall slide.

³² The wicked watches the righteous, and seeks to kill him.

³³ Yahweh will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

³⁴ Wait for Yahweh, and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.

³⁵ I have seen the wicked in great power, spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.

³⁶ But he passed away, and behold, he was not. Yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.

³⁷ Mark the perfect man, and see the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace.

³⁸ As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together. The future of the wicked shall be cut off.

³⁹ But the salvation of the righteous is from Yahweh. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.

⁴⁰ Yahweh helps them, and rescues them. He rescues them from the wicked, and saves them, Because they have taken refuge in him. A Psalm by David, for a memorial.
