Psalms:34:2 @
My soul will say great things of the Lord :
the poor in spirit will have knowledge of it and be glad .
bbe @
Psalms:34:3 @
O give praise to the Lord with me ;
let us be witnesses together of his great name .
bbe @
Psalms:34:4 @
I was searching for the Lord ,
and he gave ear to my voice ,
and made me free from all my fears .
bbe @
Psalms:34:5 @
Let your eyes be turned to him and you will have light ,
and your faces will not be shamed .
bbe @
Psalms:34:6 @
This poor man '
s cry came before the Lord ,
and he gave him salvation from all his troubles .
bbe @
Psalms:34:7 @
The angel of the Lord is ever watching over those who have fear of him ,
to keep them safe .
bbe @
Psalms:34:8 @
By experience you will see that the Lord is good ;
happy is the man who has faith in him .
bbe @
Psalms:34:9 @
Keep yourselves in the fear of the Lord ,
all you his saints ;
for those who do so will have no need of anything .
bbe @
Psalms:34:10 @
The young lions are in need and have no food ;
but those who are looking to the Lord will have every good thing .
bbe @
Psalms:34:11 @
Come ,
children ,
give attention to me ;
I will be your teacher in the fear of the Lord .
bbe @
Psalms:34:12 @
What man has a love of life ,
and a desire that his days may be increased so that he may see good ?
bbe @
Psalms:34:13 @
Keep your tongue from evil ,
and your lips from words of deceit .
bbe @
Psalms:34:14 @
Be turned from evil ,
and do good ;
make a search for peace ,
desiring it with all your heart .
bbe @
Psalms:34:15 @
The eyes of the Lord are on the upright ,
and his ears are open to their cry .
bbe @
Psalms:34:16 @
The face of the Lord is against those who do evil ,
to take away the memory of them from the earth .
bbe @
Psalms:34:17 @
The cry of the upright comes before the Lord ,
and he takes them out of all their troubles .
bbe @
Psalms:34:18 @
The Lord is near the broken-hearted ;
he is the saviour of those whose spirits are crushed down .
bbe @
Psalms:34:19 @
Great are the troubles of the upright :
but the Lord takes him safely out of them all .
bbe @
Psalms:34:20 @
He keeps all his bones :
not one of them is broken .
bbe @
Psalms:34:21 @
Evil will put an end to the sinner ,
and those who are haters of righteousness will come to destruction .
bbe @
Psalms:34:22 @
The Lord will be the saviour of the souls of his servants ,
and no one who has faith in him will be put to shame .

O Of f D Da av vi id d ..
bbe @
Psalms:35:2 @
Be a breastplate to me ,
and give me your help .
bbe @
Psalms:35:3 @
Take up your spear and keep back my attackers ;
say to my soul ,
I am your salvation .
bbe @
Psalms:35:4 @
Let them be overcome and put to shame who make attempts to take my soul ;
let those who would do me damage be turned back and made foolish .
bbe @
Psalms:35:5 @
Let them be like dust from the grain before the wind ;
let the angel of the Lord send them in flight .
bbe @
Psalms:35:6 @
Let their way be dark and full of danger ;
let them be troubled by the angel of the Lord .
bbe @
Psalms:35:7 @
For without cause they have put a net ready for me secretly ,
in which to take my soul .
bbe @
Psalms:35:8 @
Let destruction come on them without their knowledge ;
let them be taken themselves in their secret nets ,
falling into the same destruction .
bbe @
Psalms:35:9 @
And my soul will have joy in the Lord ;
it will be glad in his salvation .
bbe @
Psalms:35:10 @
All my bones will say ,
Lord ,
who is like you ?
The saviour of the poor man from the hands of the strong ,
of him who is poor and in need from him who takes his goods .
bbe @
Psalms:35:11 @
False witnesses got up :
they put questions to me about crimes of which I had no knowledge .
bbe @
Psalms:35:12 @
They gave me back evil for good ,
troubling my soul .
bbe @
Psalms:35:13 @
But as for me ,
when they were ill I put on the clothing of sorrow :
I went without food and was sad ,
and my prayer came back again to my heart .
bbe @
Psalms:35:14 @
My behaviour was as if it had been my friend or my brother :
I was bent low in grief like one whose mother is dead .
bbe @
Psalms:35:15 @
But they took pleasure in my trouble ,
and came together ,
yes ,
low persons came together against me without my knowledge ;
they never came to an end of wounding me .
bbe @
Psalms:35:16 @
Like men of deceit they put me to shame ;
the voice of their wrath was loud against me .
bbe @
Psalms:35:17 @
Lord ,
how long will you be looking on ?
take my soul from their destruction ,
my life from the lions .
bbe @
Psalms:35:18 @
I will give you praise in the great meeting ;
I will give you honour among a strong people .
bbe @
Psalms:35:19 @
Do not let my haters be glad over me falsely ;
let not those who are against me without cause make sport of me .
bbe @
Psalms:35:20 @
For they do not say words of peace ;
in their deceit they are designing evil things against the quiet ones in the land .
bbe @
Psalms:35:21 @
Their mouths were open wide against me ,
and they said ,
Aha ,
aha ,
our eyes have seen it .
bbe @
Psalms:35:22 @
You have seen this ,
O Lord ;
be not unmoved :
O Lord ,
be not far from me .
bbe @
Psalms:35:23 @
Be awake ,
O Lord ,
be moved to take up my cause ,
my God and my Lord .
bbe @
Psalms:35:24 @
Be my judge ,
O Lord my God ,
in your righteousness ;
do not let them be glad over me .
bbe @
Psalms:35:25 @
Let them not say in their hearts ,
So we will have it :
let them not say ,
We have put an end to him .
bbe @
Psalms:35:26 @
Let all those who take pleasure in my troubles be shamed and come to nothing :
let those who are lifted up against me be covered with shame and have no honour .
bbe @
Psalms:35:27 @
Let those who are on my side give cries of joy ;
let them ever say ,
The Lord be praised ,
for he has pleasure in the peace of his servant .
bbe @
Psalms:35:28 @
And my tongue will be talking of your righteousness and of your praise all the day .

bbe @
Psalms:36:2 @
For he takes comfort in the thought that his sin will not be uncovered and hated .
bbe @
Psalms:36:3 @
In the words of his mouth are evil and deceit ;
he has given up being wise and doing good .
bbe @
Psalms:36:4 @
He gives thought to evil on his bed ;
he takes a way which is not good ;
he is not a hater of evil .
bbe @
Psalms:36:5 @
Your mercy ,
O Lord ,
is in the heavens ,
and your strong purpose is as high as the clouds .
bbe @
Psalms:36:6 @
Your righteousness is like the mountains of God ;
your judging is like the great deep ;
O Lord ,
you give life to man and beast .
bbe @
Psalms:36:7 @
How good is your loving mercy ,
O God !
the children of men take cover under the shade of your wings .
bbe @
Psalms:36:8 @
The delights of your house will be showered on them ;
you will give them drink from the river of your pleasures .
bbe @
Psalms:36:9 @
For with you is the fountain of life :
in your light we will see light .
bbe @
Psalms:36:10 @
O let there be no end to your loving mercy to those who have knowledge of you ,
or of your righteousness to the upright in heart .
bbe @
Psalms:36:11 @
Let not the foot of pride come against me ,
or the hand of the evil-doers put me out of my place .
bbe @
Psalms:36:12 @
There the workers of evil have come down :
they have been made low ,
and will not be lifted up .
bbe @
Psalms:37:1 @
O Of f D Da av vi id d ..
bbe @
Psalms:37:2 @
For they will quickly be cut down like grass ,
and become dry like the green plants .
bbe @
Psalms:37:3 @
Have faith in the Lord ,
and do good ;
be at rest in the land ,
and go after righteousness .
bbe @
Psalms:37:4 @
So will your delight be in the Lord ,
and he will give you your heart '
s desires .
bbe @
Psalms:37:5 @
Put your life in the hands of the Lord ;
have faith in him and he will do it .
bbe @
Psalms:37:6 @
And he will make your righteousness be seen like the light ,
and your cause like the shining of the sun .
bbe @
Psalms:37:7 @
Take your rest in the Lord ,
waiting quietly for him ;
do not be angry because of the man who does well in his evil ways ,
and gives effect to his bad designs .
bbe @
Psalms:37:8 @
Put an end to your wrath and be no longer bitter ;
do not give way to angry feeling which is a cause of sin .
bbe @
Psalms:37:9 @
For the evil-doers will be cut off :
but those who have faith in the Lord will have the earth for their heritage .
bbe @
Psalms:37:10 @
For in a short time the evil-doer will be gone :
you will go searching for his place ,
and it will not be there .
bbe @
Psalms:37:11 @
But the gentle will have the earth for their heritage ;
they will take their delight in peace without measure .
bbe @
Psalms:37:12 @
The sinner has evil designs against the upright ,
lifting up the voice of wrath against him .
bbe @
Psalms:37:13 @
He will be laughed at by the Lord ,
who sees that his day is coming .
bbe @
Psalms:37:14 @
The evil-doers have taken out their swords ,
their bows are bent ;
for crushing the poor ,
and to put to death those who are upright in their ways .
bbe @
Psalms:37:15 @
But their swords will be turned into their hearts ,
and their bows will be broken .
bbe @
Psalms:37:16 @
The little which the good man has is better than the wealth of evil-doers .
bbe @
Psalms:37:17 @
For the arms of the evil-doers will be broken :
but the Lord is the support of the good .
bbe @
Psalms:37:18 @
The days of the upright are numbered by the Lord ,
and their heritage will be for ever .
bbe @
Psalms:37:19 @
They will not be shamed in the evil time ,
and in the days when all are in need of food they will have enough .
bbe @
Psalms:37:20 @
But the wrongdoers will come to destruction ,
and the haters of the Lord will be like the fat of lambs ,
they will be burned up ;
they will go up in smoke ,
and never again be seen .
bbe @
Psalms:37:21 @
The sinner takes money and does not give it back ;
but the upright man has mercy ,
and gives to others .
bbe @
Psalms:37:22 @
Those who have his blessing will have the earth for their heritage ;
but those who are cursed by him will be cut off .
bbe @
Psalms:37:23 @
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord ,
and he takes delight in his way .
bbe @
Psalms:37:24 @
Even if he has a fall he will not be without help :
for the hand of the Lord is supporting him .
bbe @
Psalms:37:25 @
I have been young ,
and now am old ,
but I have not seen the good man without help ,
or his children looking for bread .
bbe @
Psalms:37:26 @
All the day he is ready to have mercy and to give ;
his children are a blessing .
bbe @
Psalms:37:27 @
Be turned from evil ,
and do good ;
and your place will be for ever .
bbe @
Psalms:37:28 @
For the Lord is a lover of righteousness ,
and takes care of his saints ;
they will be kept safe for ever ;
but the seed of the evil-doers will be cut off .
bbe @
Psalms:37:29 @
The upright will have the earth for their heritage ,
and will go on living there for ever .
bbe @
Psalms:37:30 @
The mouth of the good man says words of wisdom ;
the talk of his tongue is of righteousness .
bbe @
Psalms:37:31 @
The law of his God is in his heart ;
he will never make a false step .
bbe @
Psalms:37:32 @
The sinners are watching the upright man ,
desiring to put him to death .
bbe @
Psalms:37:33 @
The Lord will not give him into their hands ,
or be against him when he is judged .
bbe @
Psalms:37:34 @
Be waiting for the Lord ,
and keep his way ;
and you will be lifted up ,
and have the land for your heritage :
when the evil-doers are cut off ,
you will see it .
bbe @
Psalms:37:35 @
I have seen the evil-doer in great power ,
covering the earth like a great tree .
bbe @
Psalms:37:36 @
But he came to an end ,
and there was no sign of him ;
I made a search for him and he was not there .
bbe @
Psalms:37:37 @
Give attention to the good man ,
and take note of the upright ;
because the end of that man is peace .
bbe @
Psalms:37:38 @
But as for the sinners ,
they will be cut off together ;
the end of the wrongdoers is destruction .
bbe @
Psalms:37:39 @
But the Lord is the saviour of the upright :
he is their strength in the time of trouble .
bbe @
Psalms:37:40 @
And the Lord will be their help ,
and keep them safe :
he will take them out of the hands of the evil-doers ,
and be their saviour ,
because they had faith in him .

Psalms:38:2 @
For your arrows have gone into my flesh ,
and I am crushed under the weight of your hand .
bbe @
Psalms:38:3 @
My flesh is wasted because of your wrath ;
and there is no peace in my bones because of my sin .
bbe @
Psalms:38:4 @
For my crimes have gone over my head ;
they are like a great weight which is more than my strength .
bbe @
Psalms:38:5 @
My wounds are poisoned and evil-smelling ,
because of my foolish behaviour .
bbe @
Psalms:38:6 @
I am troubled ,
I am made low ;
I go weeping all the day .
bbe @
Psalms:38:7 @
For my body is full of burning ;
all my flesh is unhealthy .
bbe @
Psalms:38:8 @
I am feeble and crushed down ;
I gave a cry like a lion because of the grief in my heart .
bbe @
Psalms:38:9 @
Lord ,
all my desire is before you ;
my sorrow is not kept secret from you .
bbe @
Psalms:38:10 @
My heart goes out in pain ,
my strength is wasting away ;
as for the light of my eyes ,
it is gone from me .
bbe @
Psalms:38:11 @
My lovers and my friends keep away from my disease ;
my relations keep far away .
bbe @
Psalms:38:12 @
Those who have a desire to take my life put nets for me ;
those who are designing my destruction say evil things against me ,
all the day their minds are full of deceit .
bbe @
Psalms:38:13 @
But I kept my ears shut like a man without hearing ;
like a man without a voice ,
never opening his mouth .
bbe @
Psalms:38:14 @
So I was like a man whose ears are shut ,
and in whose mouth there are no sharp words .
bbe @
Psalms:38:15 @
In you ,
O Lord ,
is my hope :
you will give me an answer ,
O Lord ,
my God .
bbe @
Psalms:38:16 @
I said ,
Let them not be glad over me ;
when my foot is moved ,
let them not be lifted up with pride against me .
bbe @
Psalms:38:17 @
My feet are near to falling ,
and my sorrow is ever before me .
bbe @
Psalms:38:18 @
I will make clear my wrongdoing ,
with sorrow in my heart for my sin .
bbe @
Psalms:38:19 @
But they are strong who have hate for me without cause :
those who are against me falsely are increased in numbers .
bbe @
Psalms:38:20 @
They give me back evil for good ;
they are my haters because I go after the thing which is right .
bbe @
Psalms:38:21 @
Do not give me up ,
O Lord ;
O my God ,
be near to me .
bbe @
Psalms:38:22 @
Come quickly to give me help ,
O Lord ,
my salvation .

Psalms:39:2 @
I made no sound ,
I said no word ,
even of good ;
and I was moved with sorrow .
bbe @
Psalms:39:3 @
My heart was burning in my breast ;
while I was deep in thought the fire was lighted ;
then I said with my tongue ,
bbe @
Psalms:39:4 @
Lord ,
give me knowledge of my end ,
and of the measure of my days ,
so that I may see how feeble I am .
bbe @
Psalms:39:5 @
You have made my days no longer than a hand '
s measure ;
and my years are nothing in your eyes ;
truly ,
every man is but a breath . (
Selah .)
bbe @
Psalms:39:6 @
Truly ,
every man goes on his way like an image ;
he is troubled for no purpose :
he makes a great store of wealth ,
and has no knowledge of who will get it .
bbe @
Psalms:39:7 @
And now ,
Lord ,
what am I waiting for ?
my hope is in you .
bbe @
Psalms:39:8 @
Make me free from all my sins ;
do not let me be shamed by the man of evil behaviour .
bbe @
Psalms:39:9 @
I was quiet ,
and kept my mouth shut ;
because you had done it .
bbe @
Psalms:39:10 @
No longer let your hand be hard on me ;
I am wasted by the blows of your hand .
bbe @
Psalms:39:11 @
By the weight of your wrath against man '
s sin ,
the glory of his form is wasted away ;
truly every man is but a breath . (
Selah .)
bbe @
Psalms:39:12 @
Let my prayer come to your ears ,
O Lord ,
and give attention to my cry ,
make an answer to my weeping :
for my time here is short before you ,
and in a little time I will be gone ,
like all my fathers .
bbe @
Psalms:39:13 @
Let your wrath be turned away from me ,
so that I may be comforted ,
before I go away from here ,
and become nothing .

He took me up out of a deep waste place ,
out of the soft and sticky earth ;
he put my feet on a rock ,
and made my steps certain .
bbe @
Psalms:40:3 @
And he put a new song in my mouth ,
even praise to our God ;
numbers have seen it with fear ,
and put their faith in the Lord .
bbe @
Psalms:40:4 @
Happy is the man who has faith in the Lord ,
and does not give honour to the men of pride or to those who are turned away to deceit .
bbe @
Psalms:40:5 @
O Lord my God ,
great are the wonders which you have done in your thought for us ;
it is not possible to put them out in order before you ;
when I would give an account of them ,
their number is greater than I may say .
bbe @
Psalms:40:6 @
You had no desire for offerings of beasts or fruits of the earth ;
ears you made for me :
for burned offerings and sin offerings you made no request .
bbe @
Psalms:40:7 @
Then I said ,
See ,
I come ;
it is recorded of me in the roll of the book ,
bbe @
Psalms:40:8 @
My delight is to do your pleasure ,
O my God ;
truly ,
your law is in my heart .
bbe @
Psalms:40:9 @
I have given news of righteousness in the great meeting ;
O Lord ,
you have knowledge that I have not kept back my words .
bbe @
Psalms:40:10 @
Your righteousness has not been folded away in my heart ;
I have made clear your true word and your salvation ;
I have not kept secret your mercy or your faith from the great meeting .
bbe @
Psalms:40:11 @
Take not away your gentle mercies from me ,
O Lord ;
let your mercy and your faith keep me safe for ever .
bbe @
Psalms:40:12 @
For unnumbered evils are round about me ;
my sins have overtaken me ,
so that I am bent down with their weight ;
they are more than the hairs of my head ,
my strength is gone because of them .
bbe @
Psalms:40:13 @
Be pleased ,
O Lord ,
to take me out of danger ;
O Lord ,
come quickly and give me help .
bbe @
Psalms:40:14 @
Let those who go after my soul for its destruction have shame and trouble together ;
let them be turned back and made foolish who take pleasure in my trouble .
bbe @
Psalms:40:15 @
Let those who say to me ,
Aha ,
aha !
be surprised because of their shame .
bbe @
Psalms:40:16 @
Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you ;
let the lovers of your salvation ever say ,
May the Lord be great .
bbe @
Psalms:40:17 @
Though I am poor and in need ,
the Lord has me in mind ;
you are my help and my saviour ;
let there be no waiting ,
O my God .

The Lord will keep him safe ,
and give him life ;
the Lord will let him be a blessing on the earth ,
and will not give him into the hand of his haters .
bbe @
Psalms:41:3 @
The Lord will be his support on his bed of pain :
by you will all his grief be turned to strength .
bbe @
Psalms:41:4 @
I said ,
Lord ,
have mercy on me ;
make my soul well ,
because my faith is in you .
bbe @
Psalms:41:5 @
My haters say evil against me ,
When will he be dead ,
and his name come to an end ?
bbe @
Psalms:41:6 @
If one comes to see me ,
deceit is in his heart ;
he keeps a store of evil ,
which he makes public in every place .
bbe @
Psalms:41:7 @
All my haters are talking secretly together against me ;
they are designing my downfall .
bbe @
Psalms:41:8 @
They say ,
He has an evil disease ,
which will not let him go :
and now that he is down he will not get up again .
bbe @
Psalms:41:9 @
Even my dearest friend ,
in whom I had faith ,
who took bread with me ,
is turned against me .
bbe @
Psalms:41:10 @
But you ,
O Lord ,
have mercy on me ,
lifting me up ,
so that I may give them their punishment .
bbe @
Psalms:41:11 @
By this I see that you have pleasure in me ,
because my hater does not overcome me .
bbe @
Psalms:41:12 @
And as for me ,
you are my support in my righteousness ,
giving me a place before your face for ever .
bbe @
Psalms:41:13 @
May the Lord God of Israel be praised ,
through eternal days and for ever .
So be it .
So be it .
