Bible. Psalms
35:8. O how hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! But the children of
men shall put their trust under the covert of thy wings.
35:9. They shall be inebriated with the plenty of thy house; and thou
shalt make them drink of the torrent of thy pleasure.
35:10. For with thee is the fountain of life; and in thy light we shall
see light.
35:11. Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy justice to them
that are right in heart.
35:12. Let not the foot of pride come to me, and let not the hand of the
sinner move me.
35:13. There the workers of iniquity are fallen, they are cast out, and
could not stand.
Psalms Chapter 36
Noli aemulari.
An exhortation to despise this world; and the short prosperity of the
wicked; and to trust in Providence.
36:1. Be not emulous of evildoers; nor envy them that work iniquity.
36:2. For they shall shortly wither away as grass, and as the green
herbs shall quickly fall.
36:3. Trust in the Lord, and do good, and dwell in the land, and thou
shalt be fed with its riches.
36:4. Delight in the Lord, and he will give thee the requests of thy
heart.
36:5. Commit thy way to the Lord, and trust in him, and he will do it.
36:6. And he will bring forth thy justice as the light, and thy judgment
as the noonday.
36:7. Be subject to the Lord and pray to him. Envy not the man who
prospereth in his way; the man who doth unjust things.
36:8. Cease from anger, and leave rage; have no emulation to do evil.
36:9. For evildoers shall be cut off: but they that wait upon the Lord,
they shall inherit the land.
36:10. For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: and thou
shalt seek his place, and shalt not find it.
36:11. But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight in
abundance of peace.
36:12. The sinner shall watch the just man: and shall gnash upon him
with his teeth.
36:13. But the Lord shall laugh at him: for he foreseeth that his day
shall come.
36:14. The wicked have drawn out the sword: they have bent their bow. To
cast down the poor and needy, to kill the upright of heart.
36:15. Let their sword enter into their own hearts, andlet their bow be
broken.
36:16. Better is a little to the just, than the great riches of the
wicked.
36:17. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken in pieces; but the
Lord strengtheneth the just.
36:18. The Lord knoweth the days of the undefiled; and their inheritance
shall be for ever.
36:19. They shall not be confounded in the evil time; and in the days of
famine they shall be filled:
36:20. Because the wicked shall perish. And the enemies of the Lord,
presently after they shall be honoured and exalted, shall come to
nothing and vanish like smoke.
36:21. The sinner shall borrow, and not pay again; but the just sheweth
mercy and shall give.
36:22. For such as bless him shall inherit the land: but such as curse
him shall perish.
36:23. With the Lord shall the steps of a man be directed, and he shall
like well his way.
