Psalms 34
[1] I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my
mouth.
[2] My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof,
and be glad.
[3] O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. [4] I
sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. [5] They
looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
[6] This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his
troubles.
[7] The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and
delivereth them.
[8] O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in
him.
[9] O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
[10] The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD
shall not want any good thing.
[11] Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
[12] What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see
good?
[13] Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. [14] Depart
from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. [15] The eyes of the LORD
are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
[16] The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the
remembrance of them from the earth. [17] The righteous cry, and the LORD
heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
[18] The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as
be of a contrite spirit.
[19] Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him
out of them all.
[20] He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken. [21] Evil shall slay
the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
[22] The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust
in him shall be desolate.
Psalms 35
[1] Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them
that fight against me.
[2] Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help. [3] Draw out
also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my
soul, I am thy salvation. [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. [5] Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of
the LORD chase them.
[6] Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD
persecute them.
[7] For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without
cause they have digged for my soul. [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. [9] And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it
shall rejoice in his salvation.
[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?
[11] False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew
not.
[12] They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul. [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. [14] I behaved myself as
though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that
mourneth for his mother. [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:
[16] With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their
teeth.
[17] Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions,
my darling from the lions. [18] I will give thee thanks in the great
congregation: I will praise thee among much people.
[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. [20] For they speak
not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in
the land.
[21] Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye
hath seen it.
[22] This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
[23] Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and
my Lord.
[24] Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not
rejoice over me.
[25] Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not
say, We have swallowed him up.
[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.
[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. [28] And my tongue shall speak of thy
righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.
Psalms 36
[1] The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no
fear of God before his eyes.
[2] For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to
be hateful.
[3] The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be
wise, and to do good.
[4] He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not
good; he abhorreth not evil.
[5] Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto
the clouds.
[6] Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great
deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. [7] How excellent is thy
lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the
shadow of thy wings. [8] They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness
of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
[9] For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
[10] O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy
righteousness to the upright in heart. [11] Let not the foot of pride come
against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.
[12] There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall
not be able to rise.
