ou dwell in the land,
and verily thou shalt be fed.
37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the
desires of thine heart.
37:5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall
bring it to pass.
37:6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy
judgment as the noonday.
37:7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself
because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who
bringeth wicked devices to pass.
37:8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise
to do evil.
37:9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the
LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
37:10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou
shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
37:11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight
themselves in the abundance of peace.
37:12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with
his teeth.
37:13 The LORD shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is
coming.
37:14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to
cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright
conversation.
37:15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows
shall be broken.
37:16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of
many wicked.
37:17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD
upholdeth the righteous.
37:18 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance
shall be for ever.
37:19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of
famine they shall be satisfied.
37:20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall
be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they
consume away.
37:21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous
sheweth mercy, and giveth.
37:22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they
that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he
delighteth in his way.
37:24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD
upholdeth him with his hand.
37:25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the
righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
37:26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
37:27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
37:28 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they
are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
37:29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for
ever.
37:30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue
talketh of judgment.
37:31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall
slide.
37:32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
37:33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he
is judged.
37:34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to
inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
37:35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself
like a green bay tree.
37:36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but
he could not be found.
37:37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of
that man is peace.
37:38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of
the wicked shall be cut off.
37:39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their
strength in the time of trouble.
37:40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver
them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
38:1 O lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot
displeasure.
38:2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.
38:3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither
is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.
38:4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden
they are too heavy for me.
38:5 My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.
38:6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day
long.
38:7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no
soundness in my flesh.
38:8 I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the
disquietness of my heart.
38:9 Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid
from thee.
38:10 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of
mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
38:11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my
kinsmen stand afar off.
38:12 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they
that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all
the day long.
38:13 But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that
openeth not his mouth.
38:14 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no
reproofs.
38:15 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
38:16 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me:
when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.
38:17 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.
38:18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
38:19 But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that
hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
38:20 They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries;
because I follow the thing that good is.
38:21 Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.
38:22 Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
39:1 I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my
tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before
me.
39:2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my
sorrow was stirred.
39:3 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned:
then spake I with my tongue,
39:4 LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what
it is: that I may know how frail I am.
39:5 Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is
as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is
altogether vanity.
Selah.
39:6 Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are
disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall
gather them.
39:7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.
39:8 Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach
of the foolish.
39:9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.
39:10 Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of
thine hand.
39:11 When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou
makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is
vanity. Selah.
39:12 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy
peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as
all my fathers were.
39:13 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and
be no more.
40:1 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and
heard my cry.
40:2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry
clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
40:3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God:
many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
40:4 Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and
respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
40:5 Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast
done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned
up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are
more than can be numbered.
40:6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou
opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
40:7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written
of me,
40:8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my
heart.
40:9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I
have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.
40:10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have
declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy
lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
40:11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy
lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
40:12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities
have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are
more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.
40:13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help
me.
40:14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my
soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that
wish me evil.
40:15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto
me, Aha, aha.
40:16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let
such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.
40:17 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art
my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
41:1 Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver
him in time of trouble.
41:2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be
blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of
his enemies.
41:3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou
wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
41:4 I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have
sinned against thee.
41:5 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name
perish?
41:6 And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth
iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.
41:7 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they
devise my hurt.
41:8 An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that
he lieth he shall rise up no more.
41:9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat
of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
41:10 But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I
may requite them.
41:11 By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth
not triumph over me.
41:12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest
me before thy face for ever.
41:13 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to
everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
42:1 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul
after thee, O God.
42:2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come
and appear before God?
42:3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually
say unto me, Where is thy God?
42:4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had
gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with
the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
42:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in
me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his
countenance.
42:6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I
remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the
hill Mizar.
42:7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy
waves and thy billows are gone over me.
42:8 Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the day time, and
in the night his song shall be with me, and my p
