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

Neither will he †help the evil doers:

And thy lips with †rejoicing.

22They that hate thee shall be yclothed with shame;

And the zdwelling place of the wicked †shall come to nought.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

“Behold, God will not reject a blameless man,

nor take the hand of evildoers.

He will yet fill your mouth with laughter,

and your lips with shouting.

Those who hate you will be clothed with shame,

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

NIVNew International Version (2011)

“Surely God does not reject one who is blameless

or strengthen the hands of evildoers.

He will yet fill your mouth with laughter

and your lips with shouts of joy.

Your enemies will be clothed in shame,

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

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Look, God does not reject a person of integrity,

and he will not support evildoers.

He will yet fill your mouth with laughter

and your lips with a shout of joy.

Your enemies will be clothed with shame;

the tent of the wicked will no longer exist.

NLTNew Living Translation

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

nor will he lend a hand to the wicked.

He will once again fill your mouth with laughter

and your lips with shouts of joy.

Those who hate you will be clothed with shame,

and the home of the wicked will be destroyed.”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

“Look, God will not reject the blameless,

and he will not uphold the hand of evildoers.

Yet he will fill your mouth with laughter

and your lips with a shout of joy.

Those who hate you will be clothed with shame,

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