17 Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long.
17 Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the Lord.
17 Let not your heart envy sinners, but continue in the fear of the Lord all the day.
17 Don't for a minute envy careless rebels; soak yourself in the Fear-of-God -
17 Do not let your heart envy sinners, But be zealous for the fear of the Lord all the day;
17 Don't envy sinners, but always continue to fear the Lord .
