¶ [A Psalm] of David. Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

A Psalm of David {H1732}. Fret {H2734} not thyself because of evildoers {H7489}{H8688)}, neither be thou envious {H7065}{H8762)} against the workers {H6213}{H8802)} of iniquity {H5766}.

By David: Don't be upset by evildoers or envious of those who do wrong,

Do not fret over those who do evil; do not envy those who do wrong.

Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, Neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.
