Psalms - ch 36 v 1 - 20
- A psalm for David himself. Be not emulous of evildoers; nor envy them that work iniquity.
- For they shall shortly wither away as grass, and as the green herbs shall quickly fall.
- Trust in the Lord, and do good, and dwell in the land, and thou shalt be fed with its riches.
- Delight in the Lord, and he will give thee the requests of thy heart.
- Commit thy way to the Lord, and trust in him, and he will do it.
- And he will bring forth thy justice as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
- Be subject to the Lord and pray to him Envy not the man who prospereth in his way; the man who doth unjust things.
- Cease from anger, and leave rage; have no emulation to do evil.
- For the evildoers shall be cut off : but they that wait upon the Lord shall inherit the land.
- For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be : and thou shalt seek his place, and shalt not find it.
- But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight in abundance of peace.
- The sinner shall watch the just man : and shall gnash upon him with his teeth.
- But the Lord shall laugh at him : for he foreseeth that his day shall come.
- 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.
- Let their sword enter into their own hearts, and let their bow be broken.
- Better is a little to the just, than the great riches of the wicked.
- For the arms of the wicked shall be broken in pieces; but the Lord strengtheneth the just.
- The Lord knoweth the days of undefiled; and their inheritance shall be for ever.
- They shall not be confounded in the evil time; and in the days of famine they shall be filled :
- 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.
