20 “Surely God does not reject one who is blameless

or strengthen the hands of evildoers.

21 He will yet fill your mouth with laughter

and your lips with shouts of joy.

22 Your enemies will be clothed in shame,

and the tents of the wicked will be no more.”

20 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man,

Neither will he help the evil doers:

21 Till he fill thy mouth with laughing,

And thy lips with rejoicing.

22 They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame;

And the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.

20 “But look, God will not reject a person of integrity,

nor will he lend a hand to the wicked.

21 He will once again fill your mouth with laughter

and your lips with shouts of joy.

22 Those who hate you will be clothed with shame,

and the home of the wicked will be destroyed.”

20 Behold, God will not cast away the blameless,

Nor will He uphold the evildoers.

21 He will yet fill your mouth with laughing,

And your lips with rejoicing.

22 Those who hate you will be clothed with shame,

And the dwelling place of the wicked will come to nothing.”

20 “Surely God does not reject the innocent

or give strength to those who do evil.

21 God will yet fill your mouth with laughter

and your lips with shouts of joy.

22 Your enemies will be covered with shame,

and the tents of the wicked will be gone.”

20 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man,

Neither will he uphold the evil-doers.

21 He will yet fill thy mouth with laughter,

And thy lips with shouting.

22 They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame;

And the tent of the wicked shall be no more.

20 Behold, •God will not cast off a perfect man, neither will he take evil-doers by the hand. 21 Whilst he would fill thy mouth with laughing and thy lips with shouting, 22 They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame, and the tent of the wicked be no more.

20 “Certainly, God does not reject a person of integrity 

or give a helping hand to wicked people. 

21 He will fill your mouth with laughter 

and your lips with happy shouting. 

22 Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, 

and the tent of the wicked will cease to exist.” 

20 Look, God does not reject a person of integrity,

and He will not support evildoers.

21 He will yet fill your mouth with laughter

and your lips with a shout of joy.

22 Your enemies will be clothed with shame;

the tent of the wicked will exist no longer.

20 “See, God will not reject a blameless person,

nor take the hand of evildoers.

21 He will yet fill your mouth with laughter,

and your lips with shouts of joy.

22 Those who hate you will be clothed with shame,

and the tent of the wicked will be no more.”

20 “Look, God will not reject the blameless,

and he will not uphold the hand of evildoers.

21 Yet he will fill your mouth with laughter

and your lips with a shout of joy.

22 Those who hate you will be clothed with shame,

and the tent of the wicked will be no more.”

20 “I’m sure God doesn’t turn his back on anyone who is honest.

And he doesn’t help those who do what is evil.

21 He will fill your mouth with laughter.

Shouts of joy will come from your lips.

22 Your enemies will put on shame as if it were clothes.

The tents of sinful people will be gone.”

20 “Lo, God will not reject a man of integrity,

Nor will He support the evildoers.

21 “He will yet fill your mouth with laughter

And your lips with shouting.

22 “Those who hate you will be clothed with shame,

And the tent of the wicked will be no longer.”
