Psalms 37

1	A Psalm of David. Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
2	For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3	Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4	Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5	Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also 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	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.
8	Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9	For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
10	For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
11	But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12	The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13	The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
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.
15	Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16	A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.
17	For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
18	The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be forever.
19	They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
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.
21	The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous showeth mercy, and giveth.
22	For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
23	The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
24	Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
25	I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
26	He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
27	Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell forevermore.
28	For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved forever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
29	The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein forever.
30	The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
31	The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
32	The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
33	The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor 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 cut off, thou shalt see it.
35	I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
36	Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37	Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
38	But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
39	But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
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.

Psalms 71

1	In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
2	Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
3	Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.
4	Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5	For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth.
6	By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee.
7	I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.
8	Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honor all the day.
9	Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
10	For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
11	Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.
12	O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
13	Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt.
14	But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
15	My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.
16	I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.
17	O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
18	Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have showed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.
19	Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!
20	Thou, which hast showed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
21	Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
22	I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.
23	My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
24	My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.

Psalms 94

1	O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, show thyself.
2	Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3	LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4	How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5	They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.
6	They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7	Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
8	Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
9	He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10	He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
11	The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12	Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;
13	That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14	For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15	But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16	Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17	Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18	When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.
19	In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
20	Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
21	They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22	But the LORD is my defense; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
23	And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.
