engLXXup: Psalms 36

=> Chapters

 [1] A Psalm of David.

Fret not thyself because of evildoers,

Neither be envious of them that do iniquity.

[2] For they shall soon be withered as the grass,

And shall soon fall away as the green herbs.

[3] Hope in the Lord, and do good;

And dwell on the land, and thou shalt be fed with the wealth of it.

[4] Delight thyself in the Lord;

And he shall grant thee the requests of thy heart.

[5] Disclose thy way to the Lord,

And hope in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

[6] And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light,

And thy judgment as the noonday.

[7] Submit thyself to the Lord, and supplicate him:

Fret not thyself because of him that prospers in his way,

At the man that does unlawful deeds.

[8] Cease from anger, and forsake wrath:

Fret not thyself so as to do evil.

[9] For evildoers shall be destroyed:

But they that wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the land.

[10] And yet a little while, and the sinner shall not be,

And thou shalt seek for his place, and shalt not find it.

[11] But the meek shall inherit the earth;

And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

[12] The sinner will watch for the righteous,

And gnash his teeth upon him.

[13] But the Lord shall laugh at him:

For he foresees that his day will come.

[14] Sinners have drawn their swords,

They have bent their bow,

To cast down the poor and needy one,

And to slay the upright in heart.

[15] Let their sword enter into their own heart,

And their bows be broken.

[16] A little is better to the righteous

Than abundant wealth of sinners.

[17] For the arms of sinners shall be broken;

But the Lord supports the righteous.

[18] The Lord knows the ways of the perfect;

And their inheritance shall be forever.

[19] They shall not be ashamed in an evil time;

And in days of famine they shall be satisfied.

[20] For the sinners shall perish;

And the enemies of the Lord at the moment of their being honored and exalted

Have utterly vanished like smoke.

[21] The sinner borrows, and will not pay again:

But the righteous has compassion, and gives.

[22] For they that bless him shall inherit the earth;

And they that curse him shall be utterly destroyed.

[23] The steps of a man are rightly ordered by the Lord:

And he will take pleasure in his way.

[24] When he falls, he shall not be ruined:

For the Lord supports his hand.

[25] I was once young, indeed I am now old;

Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,

Nor his seed seeking bread.

[26] He is merciful, and lends continually;

And his seed shall be blessed.

[27] Turn aside from evil, and do good;

And dwell forever.

[28] For the Lord loves judgment,

And will not forsake his saints;

They shall be preserved forever:

The blameless shall be avenged,

But the seed of the ungodly shall be utterly destroyed.

[29] But the righteous shall inherit the earth,

And dwell upon it forever.

[30] The mouth of the righteous will meditate wisdom,

And his tongue will speak of judgment.

[31] The law of his God is in his heart;

And his steps shall not slide.

[32] The sinner watches the righteous,

And seeks to slay him.

[33] But the Lord will not leave him in his hands,

Nor by any means condemn him when he is judged.

[34] Wait on the Lord, and keep his way,

And he shall exalt thee to inherit the land:

When the wicked are destroyed, thou shalt see it.

[35] I saw the ungodly very highly exalting himself,

And lifting himself up like the cedars of Lebanon.

[36] Yet I passed by, and lo! he was not:

And I sought him, but his place was not found.

[37] Maintain innocence, and behold uprightness:

For there is a remnant to the peaceable man.

[38] But the transgressors shall be utterly destroyed together:

The remnants of the ungodly shall be utterly destroyed.

[39] But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord;

And he is their defender in the time of affliction.

[40] And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them:

And he shall rescue them from sinners,

And save them, because they have hoped in him.
