Yes, let them say continually, "Yahweh be magnified, who has
pleasure in the prosperity of his servant!"
035:028 My tongue shall talk about your righteousness and about your
praise all day long.
036:001 <<For the Chief Musician. By David, the servant of Yahweh.>> An
oracle is within my heart about the disobedience of the wicked:
"There is no fear of God before his eyes."
036:002 For he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect
and hate his sin.
036:003 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit.
He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
036:004 He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is
not good. He doesn't abhor evil.
036:005 Your loving kindness, Yahweh, is in the heavens.
Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
036:006 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God.
Your judgments are like a great deep. Yahweh, you preserve
man and animal.
036:007 How precious is your loving kindness, God! The children of men
take refuge under the shadow of your wings.
036:008 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house.
You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.
036:009 For with you is the spring of life. In your light shall
we see light.
036:010 Oh continue your loving kindness to those who know you,
your righteousness to the upright in heart.
036:011 Don't let the foot of pride come against me. Don't let the hand
of the wicked drive me away.
036:012 There the workers of iniquity are fallen. They are thrust down,
and shall not be able to rise.
037:001 <<By David.>> Don't fret because of evil-doers, neither be
envious against those who work unrighteousness.
037:002 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither
like the green herb.
037:003 Trust in Yahweh, and do good. Dwell in the land,
and enjoy safe pasture.
037:004 Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires
of your heart.
037:005 Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this:
037:006 he will make your righteousness go forth as the light,
and your justice as the noon day sun.
037:007 Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don't fret
because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man
who makes wicked plots happen.
037:008 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Don't fret, it leads
only to evildoing.
037:009 For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for Yahweh
shall inherit the land.
037:010 For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more.
Yes, though you look for his place, he isn't there.
037:011 But the humble shall inherit the land, and shall delight
themselves in the abundance of peace.
037:012 The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him
with his teeth.
