Psalms:36-37
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart ,
that there is no fear of God before his eyes .
*
For he flattereth himself in his own eyes ,
until his iniquity be found to be hateful .
*
The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit :
he hath left off to be wise ,
and to do good .
*
He deviseth mischief upon his bed ;
he setteth himself in a way that is not good ;
he abhorreth not evil .
*
Thy mercy ,
O LORD ,
is in the heavens ;
and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds .
*
Thy righteousness is like the great mountains ;
thy judgments are a great deep :
O LORD ,
thou preservest man and beast .
*
How excellent is thy lovingkindness ,
O God !
therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings .
*
They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house ;
and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures .
*
For with thee is the fountain of life :
in thy light shall we see light .
*
O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee ;
and thy righteousness to the upright in heart .
*
Let not the foot of pride come against me ,
and let not the hand of the wicked remove me .
*
There are the workers of iniquity fallen :
they are cast down ,
and shall not be able to rise .
*
Fret not thyself because of evildoers ,
neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity .
*
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass ,
and wither as the green herb .
*
Trust in the LORD ,
and do good ;
so shalt thou dwell in the land ,
and verily thou shalt be fed .
*
Delight thyself also in the LORD ;
and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart .
*
Commit thy way unto the LORD ;
trust also in him ;
and he shall bring it to pass .
*
And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light ,
and thy judgment as the noonday .
*
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 .
*
Cease from anger ,
and forsake wrath :
fret not thyself in any wise to do evil .
*
For evildoers shall be cut off :
but those that wait upon the LORD ,
they shall inherit the earth .
*
For yet a little while ,
and the wicked shall not be :
yea ,
thou shalt diligently consider his place ,
and it shall not be .
*
But the meek shall inherit the earth ;
and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace .
*
The wicked plotteth against the just ,
and gnasheth upon him with his teeth .
*
The Lord shall laugh at him :
for he seeth that his day is coming .
*
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 .
*
Their sword shall enter into their own heart ,
and their bows shall be broken .
*
A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked .
*
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken :
but the LORD upholdeth the righteous .
*
The LORD knoweth the days of the upright :
and their inheritance shall be for ever .
*
They shall not be ashamed in the evil time :
and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied .
*
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 .
*
The wicked borroweth ,
and payeth not again :
but the righteous sheweth mercy ,
and giveth .
*
For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth ;
and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off .
*
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD :
and he delighteth in his way .
*
Though he fall ,
he shall not be utterly cast down :
for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand .
*
I have been young ,
and now am old ;
yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken ,
nor his seed begging bread .
*
He is ever merciful ,
and lendeth ;
and his seed is blessed .
*
Depart from evil ,
and do good ;
and dwell for evermore .
*
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 .
*
The righteous shall inherit the land ,
and dwell therein for ever .
*
The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom ,
and his tongue talketh of judgment .
*
The law of his God is in his heart ;
none of his steps shall slide .
*
The wicked watcheth the righteous ,
and seeketh to slay him .
*
The LORD will not leave him in his hand ,
nor condemn him when he is judged .
*
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 .
*
I have seen the wicked in great power ,
and spreading himself like a green bay tree .
*
Yet he passed away ,
and ,
lo ,
he was not :
yea ,
I sought him ,
but he could not be found .
*
Mark the perfect man ,
and behold the upright :
for the end of that man is peace .
*
But the transgressors shall be destroyed together :
the end of the wicked shall be cut off .
*
But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD :
he is their strength in the time of trouble .
*
And the LORD shall help them ,
and deliver them :
he shall deliver them from the wicked ,
and save them ,
because they trust in him .
*
O LORD ,
rebuke me not in thy wrath :
neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure .
