by Septuagint
[3] And he shall be as a tree planted by the brooks of waters, which shall yield its fruit in its season, and its leaf shall not fall off; and whatsoever he shall do shall be prospered.
[4] οὐχ οὕτως οἱ ἀσεβεῖς, οὐχ οὕτως, ἀλλ’ ἢ ὡς ὁ χνοῦς, ὃν ἐκριπτεῖ ὁ ἄνεμος ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς γῆς.
[4] Not so the ungodly; — not so: but rather as the chaff which the wind scatters away from the face of the earth.
[5] διὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἀναστήσονται ἀσεβεῖς ἐν κρίσει οὐδὲ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἐν βουλῇ δικαίων·
[5] Therefore the ungodly shall not rise in judgment, nor sinners in the counsel of the just.
[6] ὅτι γινώσκει κύριος ὁδὸν δικαίων, καὶ ὁδὸς ἀσεβῶν ἀπολεῖται.
[6] For the Lord knows the way of the righteous; but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

[12] Accept correction, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and ye should perish from the righteous way: whensoever his wrath shall be suddenly kindled, blessed are all they that trust in him.

[4] if I have requited with evil those who requited me with good; may I then perish empty by means of my enemies.
