²⁴ And thou hast known that thy tent `is' peace, And inspected thy habitation, and errest not,

⁷ Jehovah preserveth thee from all evil, He doth preserve thy soul.

⁸ Jehovah preserveth thy going out and thy coming in, From henceforth even unto the age!

¹⁰ Evil happeneth not unto thee, And a plague cometh not near thy tent,

⁶ The light hath been dark in his tent, And his lamp over him is extinguished.

⁵ Then hath Jehovah prepared Over every fixed place of Mount Zion, And over her convocations, A cloud by day, and smoke, And the shining of a flaming fire by night, That, over all honour a safe-guard,

⁶ And a covering may be, For a shadow by day from drought, And for a refuge, and for a hiding place, From inundation and from rain!

⁴⁰ He is pouring contempt upon nobles, And causeth them to wander in vacancy -- no way.

⁴ They wandered in a wilderness, in a desert by the way, A city of habitation they have not found.

¹³ His soul in good doth remain, And his seed doth possess the land.

⁷ Wherefore do the wicked live? They have become old, Yea, they have been mighty in wealth.

⁸ Their seed is established, Before their face with them, And their offspring before their eyes.

⁹ Their houses `are' peace without fear, Nor `is' a rod of God upon them.

²¹ Only these `are' tabernacles of the perverse, And this the place God hath not known.

¹⁵ It dwelleth in his tent -- out of his provender, Scattered over his habitation is sulphur.

⁶ If pure and upright thou `art', Surely now He waketh for thee, And hath completed The habitation of thy righteousness.

³ And David cometh in -- and his men -- unto the city, and lo, burnt with fire, and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters have been taken captive!

⁶ `Blessed `art' thou in thy coming in, and blessed `art' thou in thy going out.
