The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text reads, "The upright see and rejoice, and all iniquity shuts its mouth." The Septuagint agrees with this wording, matching all seven words in a word-by-word correspondence, although its structure differs due to its own sentence formation. The Dead Sea Scrolls (4Q88) also align closely with the Masoretic Text, containing the phrases for the upright seeing and rejoicing, but it includes some partly restored words and has editorial additions. Overall, the main witnesses show agreement in the essential meaning of the verse, though the Dead Sea Scrolls have some textual variations due to restoration efforts.

pe'-p'-l: In English Versions of the Bible represents something over a dozen Hebrew and Greek words. Of these, in the Old Testament, `am, is overwhelmingly the most common (about 2,000 times), with le'om, and goy, next in order; but the various Hebrew words are used with very little or no difference in force (e.g. Pr 14:28; but, on the other hand, in Ps 44 contrast verses 12 and 14). Of the changes introduced by the Revised Version (British and American) the only one of significance (cited explicitly in the Preface to the English Revised Version) is the frequent use of the plural "peoples" (strangely avoided in the King James Version except Re 10:11; 17:15), where other nations than Israel are in question.
