ife is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my
strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
31:11 I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my
neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me
without fled from me.
31:12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken
vessel.
31:13 For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side:
while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away
my life.
31:14 But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.
31:15 My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine
enemies, and from them that persecute me.
31:16 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy
mercies’ sake.
31:17 Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let
the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.
31:18 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous
things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
31:19 Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them
that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee
before the sons of men!
31:20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the
pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the
strife of tongues.
31:21 Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous
kindness in a strong city.
31:22 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes:
nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried
unto thee.
31:23 O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the
faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye
that hope in the LORD.
32:1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is
covered.
32:2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and
in whose spirit there is no guile.
32:3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all
the day long.
32:4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is
turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
32:5 I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid.
I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou
forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
32:6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time
when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they
shall not come nigh unto him.
32:7 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble;
thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
32:8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt
go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
32:9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no
understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest
they come near unto thee.
32:10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the
LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
32:11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for
joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
33:1 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the
upright.
33:2 Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an
instrument of ten strings.
33:3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
33:4 For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in
truth.
33:5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the
goodness of the LORD.
33:6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host
of them by the breath of his mouth.
33:7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth
up the depth in storehouses.
33:8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the
world stand in awe of him.
33:9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
33:10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he
maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
33:11 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his
heart to all generations.
33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom
he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
33:13 The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
33:14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the
inhabitants of the earth.
33:15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their
works.
33:16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man
is not delivered by much strength.
33:17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver
any by his great strength.
33:18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon
them that hope in his mercy;
33:19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in
famine.
33:20 Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.
33:21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in
his holy name.
33:22 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
34:1 I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually
be in my mouth.
34:2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear
thereof, and be glad.
34:3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
34:4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my
fears.
34:5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were
not ashamed.
34:6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of
all his troubles.
34:7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him,
and delivereth them.
34:8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that
trusteth in him.
34:9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that
fear him.
34:10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek
the LORD shall not want any good thing.
34:11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of
the LORD.
34:12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he
may see good?
34:13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
34:14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
34:15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are
open unto their cry.
34:16 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off
the remembrance of them from the earth.
34:17 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out
of all their troubles.
34:18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and
saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD
delivereth him out of them all.
34:20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
34:21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous
shall be desolate.
34:22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them
that trust in him shall be desolate.
35:1 Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight
against them that fight against me.
35:2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
35:3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that
persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
35:4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul:
let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
35:5 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the
LORD chase them.
35:6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD
persecute them.
35:7 For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which
without cause they have digged for my soul.
35:8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that
he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
35:9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his
salvation.
35:10 All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which
deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor
and the needy from him that spoileth him?
35:11 False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that
I knew not.
35:12 They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.
35:13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I
humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own
bosom.
35:14 I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I
bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.
35:15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves
together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me,
and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:
35:16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with
their teeth.
35:17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their
destructions, my darling from the lions.
35:18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise
thee among much people.
35:19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me:
neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
35:20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters
against them that are quiet in the land.
35:21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha,
aha, our eye hath seen it.
35:22 This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not
far from me.
35:23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause,
my God and my Lord.
35:24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let
them not rejoice over me.
35:25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let
them not say, We have swallowed him up.
35:26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that
rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour
that magnify themselves against me.
35:27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous
cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which
hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
35:28 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise
all the day long.
36:1 The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there
is no fear of God before his eyes.
36:2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be
found to be hateful.
36:3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off
to be wise, and to do good.
36:4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way
that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.
36:5 Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness
reacheth unto the clouds.
36:6 Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are
a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.
36:7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the
children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
36:8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house;
and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
36:9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see
light.
36:10 O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy
righteousness to the upright in heart.
36:11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand
of the wicked remove me.
36:12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down,
and shall not be able to rise.
37:1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious
against the workers of iniquity.
37:2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the
