The Koine Bible

Of David. Do not be provoked to jealousy by those who do evil, nor be envious of those who do lawlessness.

For as grass they will quickly be dried up, and as green herbs they will quickly fall away

Hope in the Lord and do kindness, and dwell in the land, and you will be shepherded over its wealth.

Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the requests of your heart.

Reveal your way to the Lord, and hope upon him, and he himself will act.

And he will bring forth your righteousness as light, and your judgment as noonday.

Submit to the Lord and entreat him; do not be jealous of the one prospering in his way, of the man doing lawless deeds

Cease from anger and leave wrath; do not be envious so as to do evil.

For the evildoers will be destroyed, but those who wait for the Lord, they shall inherit the land.

And yet a little while, and the sinner shall by no means exist, and you shall seek his place, and you shall by no means find it

But the meek shall inherit the land and shall delight in the abundance of peace.

The sinner will watch the righteous and will gnash his teeth against him

But the Lord will laugh at him, because he foresees that his day will come.

The sinners have drawn the sword, they have bent their bow to cast down the poor and needy, to slaughter the upright in heart.

May their sword enter into their heart, and may their bows be shattered

Better is a little for the righteous than the great wealth of sinners.

For the arms of sinners will be broken, but the Lord upholds the righteous.

The Lord knows the ways of the blameless, and their inheritance will be forever.

They will not be put to shame in an evil time, and in days of famine they will be satisfied.

For the sinners will perish, but the enemies of the Lord, together with their being glorified and exalted, having failed, they vanished like smoke, they vanished.

The sinner borrows and does not repay, but the righteous has compassion and gives.

For those who bless him shall inherit the land, but those who curse him shall be destroyed.

The steps of a man are directed from the Lord, and he wills his way.

When he falls, he will not be cast down, because the Lord is helping with his hand.

I was young, indeed, and I have grown old, and I have not seen a righteous man forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread.

All the day he shows mercy and lends, and his seed shall be for blessing

Turn away from evil and do good, and dwell forever and ever.

For the Lord loves judgment and will not forsake his holy ones; they will be guarded forever. But the lawless will be driven out, and the seed of the ungodly will be destroyed.

But the righteous shall inherit the land and shall dwell in it forever and ever.

The mouth of the righteous will meditate on wisdom, and his tongue will speak judgment.

The law of his God is in his heart, and his steps shall not be tripped up.

The sinner observes the righteous man and seeks to put him to death.

But the Lord will by no means leave him in his hands, nor will he by any means condemn him when he is judged by him.

Wait for the Lord and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land; when sinners are destroyed, you will see.

I saw a wicked man being highly exalted and lifted up like the cedars of Lebanon

And I passed by, and behold, he was not, and I sought him, and his place was not found.

Guard innocence and see uprightness, because there is a future for a peaceful man

But the lawless will be utterly destroyed together; the remnants of the ungodly will be utterly destroyed

But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord, and he is their defender in time of affliction.

And the Lord will help them, and will rescue them, and will deliver them from sinners, and will save them, because they have hoped in him.
