Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

Yes, don't let anyone who trusts in you be put to shame. Instead, let those who betray others for no good reason be the ones who are ashamed.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

The writer is asking God to protect those who trust in Him from shame, while letting those who harm others without reason face the consequences of their actions.

📚 Historical Context

This psalm is attributed to David, likely written during a time when he faced enemies who were attacking him unjustly. In ancient Israel, being 'put to shame' meant not only personal humiliation but also losing one's standing in the community and being seen as abandoned by God. David is contrasting faithful people who wait on God with those who act treacherously against others.
