27The Fear-of-God expands your life;
a wicked life is a puny life.
28The aspirations of good people end in celebration;
the ambitions of bad people crash.
29God is solid backing to a well-lived life,
but he calls into question a shabby performance.
30Good people last—they can’t be moved;
the wicked are here today, gone tomorrow.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
The fear of the Lord prolongs life,
but the years of the wicked will be short.
The hope of the righteous brings joy,
but the expectation of the wicked will perish.
The way of the Lord is a stronghold to the blameless,
but destruction to evildoers.
The righteous will never be removed,
but the wicked will not dwell in the land.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
The fear of the Lord adds length to life,
but the years of the wicked are cut short.
The prospect of the righteous is joy,
but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing.
The way of the Lord is a refuge for the blameless,
but it is the ruin of those who do evil.
The righteous will never be uprooted,
but the wicked will not remain in the land.

The fear of Yahweh adds life,
but the years of the wicked are shortened.
The hope of the righteous is gladness,
but the expectation of the wicked comes to nothing.
A stronghold for the upright is the way of Yahweh,
but ruin belongs to evildoers.
The righteous one is forever; he will not be removed.
But the wicked will not remain in the land.

The fear of the Lord prolongeth days:
But the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

But destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
