23 Then shalt thou walke safely in thy way, and thy foote shall not stumble. Then you will walk on your way securely, and your foot will not stumble. Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble.
24 If thou sleepest, thou shalt not be afraide: but shalt take thy rest, and sleepe sweetely. If you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
25 Thou shalt not be afraide of any sodayne feare, neither for the violent rushing in of the vngodly when it commeth. Do not be afraid of sudden terror or of the ruin of the wicked, when it comes, Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked,
26 For the Lorde shall stande by thy side, & kepe thy foote that thou be not taken. for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught. for the LORD will be at your side and will keep your foot from being snared.
27 Withdraw no good thyng from them that haue nede, so long as thyne hande is able to do it. Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it. Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act.
28 Say not vnto thy neyghbour, go thy way and come agayne, and to morowe wyll I geue thee: where as thou hast nowe to geue hym. Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again, tomorrow I will give it”—when you have it with you. Do not say to your neighbor, “Come back tomorrow and I’ll give it to you|— when you already have it with you.
29 Intende no hurt against thy neyghbour, seing he hopeth to dwell in rest by thee. Do not plan evil against your neighbor, who dwells trustingly beside you. Do not plot harm against your neighbor, who lives trustfully near you.
30 Striue not with any man without a cause, where as he hath done thee no harme. Do not contend with a man for no reason, when he has done you no harm. Do not accuse anyone for no reason— when they have done you no harm.
31 Folowe not a wicked man, and chose none of his wayes: Do not envy a man of violence and do not choose any of his ways, Do not envy the violent or choose any of their ways.
32 For the Lord abhorreth the froward: but his counsayle is among the righteous. for the devious person is an abomination to the LORD, but the upright are in his confidence. For the LORD detests the perverse but takes the upright into his confidence.
33 The curse of the Lord is in the house of the vngodly: but he blesseth the dwellinges of the righteous. The LORD’s curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the dwelling of the righteous. The LORD’s curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous.
34 As for the scornfull, doth he not laugh them to scorne? but he geueth grace vnto the lowly. Toward the scorners he is scornful, but to the humble he gives favor. He mocks proud mockers but shows favor to the humble and oppressed.
35 The wyse shall haue honour in possession: but shame is the promotion that fooles shall haue. The wise will inherit honor, but fools get disgrace. The wise inherit honor, but fools get only shame.
