De rättsinnigas väg undviker det onda och den som ger akt på sin väg bevarar sitt liv.
SKB
De rättfärdigas huvudväg (upphöjda väg – hebr. mesilah) undviker ondska, den som aktar (skyddar) sin väg (hebr. derech), bevarar sitt liv (sin själ). [Två olika hebreiska ord för väg används här. Det första beskriver en välbyggd huvudväg där hinder har röjts bort. Det är en upphöjd väg utan stötestenar, se Jes 40:3; 62:10. Det andra ordet för väg (hebr. derech) är vanligare och används ofta om livsval och personlig vandringsväg.]
