3 F or the sinful will not rule over the land of those who are right with God. So those who are right and good may not use their hands to do wrong.

For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the land of the righteous, So that the righteous will not put forth their hands to do wrong.

4 O Lord, do good to those who are good, and to those who are right in their hearts.

Do good, O Lord, to those who are good And to those who are upright in their hearts.

5 B ut the Lord will let all those who turn aside to their sinful ways go with those who are sinners. Peace be upon Israel.

But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, The Lord will lead them away with the doers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.
