36 To the Overseer. -- By a servant of Jehovah, by David. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, `Fear of God is not before his eyes,

For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.

The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently -- to do good.

Iniquity he deviseth on his bed, He stationeth himself on a way not good, Evil he doth not refuse.'

O Jehovah, in the heavens [is] Thy kindness, Thy faithfulness [is] unto the clouds.

Thy righteousness [is] as mountains of God, Thy judgments [are] a great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O Jehovah.

How precious [is] Thy kindness, O God, And the sons of men In the shadow of Thy wings do trust.

They are filled from the fatness of Thy house, And the stream of Thy delights Thou dost cause them to drink.

For with Thee [is] a fountain of life, In Thy light we see light.

10 Draw out Thy kindness to those knowing Thee, And Thy righteousness to the upright of heart.

11 Let not a foot of pride meet me, And a hand of the wicked let not move me.

12 There have workers of iniquity fallen, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!

37 By David. Do not fret because of evil doers, Be not envious against doers of iniquity,

For as grass speedily they are cut off, And as the greenness of the tender grass do fade.

Trust in Jehovah, and do good, Dwell [in] the land, and enjoy faithfulness,

And delight thyself on Jehovah, And He giveth to thee the petitions of thy heart.

Roll on Jehovah thy way, And trust upon Him, and He worketh,

And hath brought out as light thy righteousness, And thy judgment as noon-day.

Be silent for Jehovah, and stay thyself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making prosperous his way, Because of a man doing wicked devices.

Desist from anger, and forsake fury, Fret not thyself only to do evil.

For evil doers are cut off, As to those waiting on Jehovah, they possess the land.

10 And yet a little, and the wicked is not, And thou hast considered his place, and it is not.

11 And the humble do possess the land, And they have delighted themselves In the abundance of peace.

12 The wicked is devising against the righteous, And gnashing against him his teeth.

13 The Lord doth laugh at him, For He hath seen that his day cometh.

14 A sword have the wicked opened, And they have trodden their bow, To cause to fall the poor and needy, To slaughter the upright of the way.

15 Their sword doth enter into their own heart, And their bows are shivered.

16 Better [is] the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked.

17 For the arms of the wicked are shivered, And Jehovah is sustaining the righteous.

18 Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect, And their inheritance is -- to the age.

19 They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And in days of famine they are satisfied.

20 But the wicked perish, and the enemies of Jehovah, As the preciousness of lambs, Have been consumed, In smoke they have been consumed.

21 The wicked is borrowing and repayeth not, And the righteous is gracious and giving.

22 For His blessed ones do possess the land, And His reviled ones are cut off.

23 From Jehovah [are] the steps of a man, They have been prepared, And his way he desireth.

24 When he falleth, he is not cast down, For Jehovah is sustaining his hand.

25 Young I have been, I have also become old, And I have not seen the righteous forsaken, And his seed seeking bread.

26 All the day he is gracious and lending, And his seed [is] for a blessing.

27 Turn aside from evil, and do good, and dwell to the age.

28 For Jehovah is loving judgment, And He doth not forsake His saintly ones, To the age they have been kept, And the seed of the wicked is cut off.

29 The righteous possess the land, And they dwell for ever on it.

30 The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And his tongue speaketh judgment.

31 The law of his God [is] his heart, His steps do not slide.

32 The wicked is watching for the righteous, And is seeking to put him to death.

33 Jehovah doth not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him in his being judged.

34 Look unto Jehovah, and keep His way, And He doth exalt thee to possess the land, In the wicked being cut off -- thou seest!

35 I have seen the wicked terrible, And spreading as a green native plant,

36 And he passeth away, and lo, he is not, And I seek him, and he is not found!

37 Observe the perfect, and see the upright, For the latter end of each [is] peace.

38 And transgressors were destroyed together, The latter end of the wicked was cut off.

39 And the salvation of the righteous [is] from Jehovah, Their strong place in a time of adversity.

40 And Jehovah doth help them and deliver them, He delivereth them from the wicked, And saveth them, Because they trusted in Him!

38 A Psalm of David, `To cause to remember.' Jehovah, in Thy wrath reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.

For Thine arrows have come down on me, And Thou lettest down upon me Thy hand.

Soundness is not in my flesh, Because of Thine indignation, Peace is not in my bones because of my sin.

For mine iniquities have passed over my head, As a heavy burden -- too heavy for me.

Stunk -- become corrupt have my wounds, Because of my folly.

I have been bent down, I have been bowed down -- unto excess, All the day I have gone mourning.

For my flanks have been full of drought, And soundness is not in my flesh.

I have been feeble and smitten -- unto excess, I have roared from disquietude of heart.

Lord, before Thee [is] all my desire, And my sighing from Thee hath not been hid.

10 My heart [is] panting, my power hath forsaken me, And the light of mine eyes, Even they are not with me.

11 My lovers and my friends over-against my plague stand. And my neighbours afar off have stood.

12 And those seeking my soul lay a snare, And those seeking my evil Have spoken mischievous things, And they do deceits meditate all the day.

13 And I, as deaf, hear not. And as a dumb one who openeth not his mouth.

14 Yea, I am as a man who heareth not, And in his mouth are no reproofs.

15 Because for Thee, O Jehovah, I have waited, Thou dost answer, O Lord my God.

16 When I said, `Lest they rejoice over me, In the slipping of my foot against me they magnified themselves.

17 For I am ready to halt, And my pain [is] before me continually.

18 For mine iniquity I declare, I am sorry for my sin.

19 And mine enemies [are] lively, They have been strong, and those hating me without cause, Have been multiplied.

20 And those paying evil for good accuse me, Because of my pursuing good.

21 Do not forsake me, O Jehovah, My God, be not far from me,

22 Haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!

39 To the Overseer, to Jeduthun. -- A Psalm of David. I have said, `I observe my ways, Against sinning with my tongue, I keep for my mouth a curb, while the wicked [is] before me.'

I was dumb [with] silence, I kept silent from good, and my pain is excited.

Hot [is] my heart within me, In my meditating doth the fire burn, I have spoken with my tongue.

`Cause me to know, O Jehovah, mine end, And the measure of my days -- what it [is],' I know how frail I [am].

Lo, handbreadths Thou hast made my days, And mine age [is] as nothing before Thee, Only, all vanity [is] every man set up. Selah.

Only, in an image doth each walk habitually, Only, [in] vain, they are disquieted, He heapeth up and knoweth not who gathereth them.

And, now, what have I expected? O Lord, my hope -- it [is] of Thee.

From all my transgressions deliver me, A reproach of the fool make me not.

I have been dumb, I open not my mouth, Because Thou -- Thou hast done [it].

10 Turn aside from off me Thy stroke, From the striving of Thy hand I have been consumed.

11 With reproofs against iniquity, Thou hast corrected man, And dost waste as a moth his desirableness, Only, vanity [is] every man. Selah.

12 Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, And [to] my cry give ear, Unto my tear be not silent, For a sojourner I [am] with Thee, A settler like all my fathers.

13 Look from me, and I brighten up before I go and am not!

40 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. I have diligently expected Jehovah, And He inclineth to me, and heareth my cry,

And He doth cause me to come up From a pit of desolation -- from mire of mud, And He raiseth up on a rock my feet, He is establishing my steps.

And He putteth in my mouth a new song, `Praise to our God.' Many do see and fear, and trust in Jehovah.

O the happiness of the man Who hath made Jehovah his trust, And hath not turned unto the proud, And those turning aside to lies.

Much hast Thou done, Jehovah my God; Thy wonders and Thy thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange unto Thee, I declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered.

Sacrifice and present Thou hast not desired, Ears Thou hast prepared for me, Burnt and sin-offering Thou hast not asked.

Then said I, `Lo, I have come,' In the roll of the book it is written of me,

To do Thy pleasure, my God, I have delighted, And Thy law [is] within my heart.

I have proclaimed tidings of righteousness In the great assembly, lo, my lips I restrain not, O Jehovah, Thou hast known.

10 Thy righteousness I have not concealed In the midst of my heart, Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation I have told, I have not hidden Thy kindness and Thy truth, To the great assembly.

11 Thou, O Jehovah, restrainest not Thy mercies from me, Thy kindness and Thy truth do continually keep me.

12 For compassed me have evils innumerable, Overtaken me have mine iniquities, And I have not been able to see; They have been more than the hairs of my head, And my heart hath forsaken me.

13 Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my help make haste.

14 They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are seeking my soul to destroy it, They are turned backward, And are ashamed, who are desiring my evil.

15 They are desolate because of their shame, Who are saying to me, `Aha, aha.'

16 All seeking Thee rejoice and are glad in Thee, Those loving Thy salvation say continually, `Jehovah is magnified.'

17 And I [am] poor and needy, The Lord doth devise for me. My help and my deliverer [art] Thou, O my God, tarry Thou not.

41 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. O the happiness of him Who is acting wisely unto the poor, In a day of evil doth Jehovah deliver him.

Jehovah doth preserve him and revive him, He is happy in the land, And Thou givest him not into the will of his enemies.

Jehovah supporteth on a couch of sickness, All his bed Thou hast turned in his weakness.

I -- I said, `O Jehovah, favour me, Heal my soul, for I did sin against Thee,'

Mine enemies say evil of me: When he dieth -- his name hath perished!

And if he came to see -- vanity he speaketh, His heart gathereth iniquity to itself, He goeth out -- at the street he speaketh.

All hating me whisper together against me, Against me they devise evil to me:

A thing of Belial is poured out on him, And because he lay down he riseth not again.

Even mine ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, made great the heel against me,

10 And Thou, Jehovah, favour me, And cause me to rise, And I give recompence to them.

11 By this I have known, That Thou hast delighted in me, Because my enemy shouteth not over me.

12 As to me, in mine integrity, Thou hast taken hold upon me, And causest me to stand before Thee to the age.

13 Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age -- and unto the age. Amen and Amen.

Psalm 36[a]

For the director of music. Of David the servant of the Lord.

I have a message from God in my heart
    concerning the sinfulness of the wicked:[b](A)
There is no fear(B) of God
    before their eyes.(C)

In their own eyes they flatter themselves
    too much to detect or hate their sin.(D)
The words of their mouths(E) are wicked and deceitful;(F)
    they fail to act wisely(G) or do good.(H)
Even on their beds they plot evil;(I)
    they commit themselves to a sinful course(J)
    and do not reject what is wrong.(K)

Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens,
    your faithfulness(L) to the skies.(M)
Your righteousness(N) is like the highest mountains,(O)
    your justice like the great deep.(P)
    You, Lord, preserve both people and animals.(Q)
How priceless is your unfailing love, O God!(R)
    People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.(S)
They feast on the abundance of your house;(T)
    you give them drink from your river(U) of delights.(V)
For with you is the fountain of life;(W)
    in your light(X) we see light.

10 Continue your love(Y) to those who know you,(Z)
    your righteousness to the upright in heart.(AA)
11 May the foot of the proud not come against me,
    nor the hand of the wicked(AB) drive me away.
12 See how the evildoers lie fallen—
    thrown down, not able to rise!(AC)

Psalm 37[c]

Of David.

Do not fret because of those who are evil
    or be envious(AD) of those who do wrong;(AE)
for like the grass they will soon wither,(AF)
    like green plants they will soon die away.(AG)

Trust in the Lord and do good;
    dwell in the land(AH) and enjoy safe pasture.(AI)
Take delight(AJ) in the Lord,
    and he will give you the desires of your heart.(AK)

Commit your way to the Lord;
    trust in him(AL) and he will do this:
He will make your righteous reward(AM) shine like the dawn,(AN)
    your vindication like the noonday sun.

Be still(AO) before the Lord
    and wait patiently(AP) for him;
do not fret(AQ) when people succeed in their ways,(AR)
    when they carry out their wicked schemes.(AS)

Refrain from anger(AT) and turn from wrath;
    do not fret(AU)—it leads only to evil.
For those who are evil will be destroyed,(AV)
    but those who hope(AW) in the Lord will inherit the land.(AX)

10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more;(AY)
    though you look for them, they will not be found.
11 But the meek will inherit the land(AZ)
    and enjoy peace and prosperity.(BA)

12 The wicked plot(BB) against the righteous
    and gnash their teeth(BC) at them;
13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
    for he knows their day is coming.(BD)

14 The wicked draw the sword(BE)
    and bend the bow(BF)
to bring down the poor and needy,(BG)
    to slay those whose ways are upright.
15 But their swords will pierce their own hearts,(BH)
    and their bows will be broken.(BI)

16 Better the little that the righteous have
    than the wealth(BJ) of many wicked;
17 for the power of the wicked will be broken,(BK)
    but the Lord upholds(BL) the righteous.

18 The blameless spend their days under the Lord’s care,(BM)
    and their inheritance will endure forever.(BN)
19 In times of disaster they will not wither;
    in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.

20 But the wicked will perish:(BO)
    Though the Lord’s enemies are like the flowers of the field,
    they will be consumed, they will go up in smoke.(BP)

21 The wicked borrow and do not repay,
    but the righteous give generously;(BQ)
22 those the Lord blesses will inherit the land,
    but those he curses(BR) will be destroyed.(BS)

23 The Lord makes firm the steps(BT)
    of the one who delights(BU) in him;
24 though he may stumble, he will not fall,(BV)
    for the Lord upholds(BW) him with his hand.

25 I was young and now I am old,
    yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken(BX)
    or their children begging(BY) bread.
26 They are always generous and lend freely;(BZ)
    their children will be a blessing.[d](CA)

27 Turn from evil and do good;(CB)
    then you will dwell in the land forever.(CC)
28 For the Lord loves the just
    and will not forsake his faithful ones.(CD)

Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed[e];
    the offspring of the wicked will perish.(CE)
29 The righteous will inherit the land(CF)
    and dwell in it forever.(CG)

30 The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom,(CH)
    and their tongues speak what is just.
31 The law of their God is in their hearts;(CI)
    their feet do not slip.(CJ)

32 The wicked lie in wait(CK) for the righteous,(CL)
    intent on putting them to death;
33 but the Lord will not leave them in the power of the wicked
    or let them be condemned(CM) when brought to trial.(CN)

34 Hope in the Lord(CO)
    and keep his way.(CP)
He will exalt you to inherit the land;
    when the wicked are destroyed,(CQ) you will see(CR) it.

35 I have seen a wicked and ruthless man
    flourishing(CS) like a luxuriant native tree,
36 but he soon passed away and was no more;
    though I looked for him, he could not be found.(CT)

37 Consider the blameless,(CU) observe the upright;(CV)
    a future awaits those who seek peace.[f](CW)
38 But all sinners(CX) will be destroyed;(CY)
    there will be no future[g] for the wicked.(CZ)

39 The salvation(DA) of the righteous comes from the Lord;
    he is their stronghold in time of trouble.(DB)
40 The Lord helps(DC) them and delivers(DD) them;
    he delivers them from the wicked and saves(DE) them,
    because they take refuge(DF) in him.

Psalm 38[h]

A psalm of David. A petition.

Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger
    or discipline me in your wrath.(DG)
Your arrows(DH) have pierced me,
    and your hand has come down on me.
Because of your wrath there is no health(DI) in my body;
    there is no soundness in my bones(DJ) because of my sin.
My guilt has overwhelmed(DK) me
    like a burden too heavy to bear.(DL)

My wounds(DM) fester and are loathsome(DN)
    because of my sinful folly.(DO)
I am bowed down(DP) and brought very low;
    all day long I go about mourning.(DQ)
My back is filled with searing pain;(DR)
    there is no health(DS) in my body.
I am feeble and utterly crushed;(DT)
    I groan(DU) in anguish of heart.(DV)

All my longings(DW) lie open before you, Lord;
    my sighing(DX) is not hidden from you.
10 My heart pounds,(DY) my strength fails(DZ) me;
    even the light has gone from my eyes.(EA)
11 My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds;(EB)
    my neighbors stay far away.
12 Those who want to kill me set their traps,(EC)
    those who would harm me talk of my ruin;(ED)
    all day long they scheme and lie.(EE)

13 I am like the deaf, who cannot hear,(EF)
    like the mute, who cannot speak;
14 I have become like one who does not hear,
    whose mouth can offer no reply.
15 Lord, I wait(EG) for you;
    you will answer,(EH) Lord my God.
16 For I said, “Do not let them gloat(EI)
    or exalt themselves over me when my feet slip.”(EJ)

17 For I am about to fall,(EK)
    and my pain(EL) is ever with me.
18 I confess my iniquity;(EM)
    I am troubled by my sin.
19 Many have become my enemies(EN) without cause[i];
    those who hate me(EO) without reason(EP) are numerous.
20 Those who repay my good with evil(EQ)
    lodge accusations(ER) against me,
    though I seek only to do what is good.

21 Lord, do not forsake me;(ES)
    do not be far(ET) from me, my God.
22 Come quickly(EU) to help me,(EV)
    my Lord and my Savior.(EW)

Psalm 39[j]

For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

I said, “I will watch my ways(EX)
    and keep my tongue from sin;(EY)
I will put a muzzle on my mouth(EZ)
    while in the presence of the wicked.”
So I remained utterly silent,(FA)
    not even saying anything good.
But my anguish(FB) increased;
    my heart grew hot(FC) within me.
While I meditated,(FD) the fire(FE) burned;
    then I spoke with my tongue:

“Show me, Lord, my life’s end
    and the number of my days;(FF)
    let me know how fleeting(FG) my life is.(FH)
You have made my days(FI) a mere handbreadth;
    the span of my years is as nothing before you.
Everyone is but a breath,(FJ)
    even those who seem secure.[k]

“Surely everyone goes around(FK) like a mere phantom;(FL)
    in vain they rush about,(FM) heaping up wealth(FN)
    without knowing whose it will finally be.(FO)

“But now, Lord, what do I look for?
    My hope is in you.(FP)
Save me(FQ) from all my transgressions;(FR)
    do not make me the scorn(FS) of fools.
I was silent;(FT) I would not open my mouth,(FU)
    for you are the one who has done this.(FV)
10 Remove your scourge from me;
    I am overcome by the blow(FW) of your hand.(FX)
11 When you rebuke(FY) and discipline(FZ) anyone for their sin,
    you consume(GA) their wealth like a moth(GB)
    surely everyone is but a breath.(GC)

12 “Hear my prayer, Lord,
    listen to my cry for help;(GD)
    do not be deaf(GE) to my weeping.(GF)
I dwell with you as a foreigner,(GG)
    a stranger,(GH) as all my ancestors were.(GI)
13 Look away from me, that I may enjoy life again
    before I depart and am no more.”(GJ)

Psalm 40[l](GK)

For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.

I waited patiently(GL) for the Lord;
    he turned to me and heard my cry.(GM)
He lifted me out of the slimy pit,(GN)
    out of the mud(GO) and mire;(GP)
he set my feet(GQ) on a rock(GR)
    and gave me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song(GS) in my mouth,
    a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the Lord(GT)
    and put their trust(GU) in him.

Blessed is the one(GV)
    who trusts in the Lord,(GW)
who does not look to the proud,(GX)
    to those who turn aside to false gods.[m](GY)
Many, Lord my God,
    are the wonders(GZ) you have done,
    the things you planned for us.
None can compare(HA) with you;
    were I to speak and tell of your deeds,
    they would be too many(HB) to declare.

Sacrifice and offering you did not desire—(HC)
    but my ears you have opened[n](HD)
    burnt offerings(HE) and sin offerings[o] you did not require.
Then I said, “Here I am, I have come—
    it is written about me in the scroll.[p](HF)
I desire to do your will,(HG) my God;(HH)
    your law is within my heart.”(HI)

I proclaim your saving acts(HJ) in the great assembly;(HK)
    I do not seal my lips, Lord,
    as you know.(HL)
10 I do not hide your righteousness in my heart;
    I speak of your faithfulness(HM) and your saving help.
I do not conceal your love and your faithfulness
    from the great assembly.(HN)

11 Do not withhold your mercy(HO) from me, Lord;
    may your love(HP) and faithfulness(HQ) always protect(HR) me.
12 For troubles(HS) without number surround me;
    my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see.(HT)
They are more than the hairs of my head,(HU)
    and my heart fails(HV) within me.
13 Be pleased to save me, Lord;
    come quickly, Lord, to help me.(HW)

14 May all who want to take my life(HX)
    be put to shame and confusion;(HY)
may all who desire my ruin(HZ)
    be turned back in disgrace.
15 May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!”(IA)
    be appalled at their own shame.
16 But may all who seek you(IB)
    rejoice and be glad(IC) in you;
may those who long for your saving help always say,
    “The Lord is great!”(ID)

17 But as for me, I am poor and needy;(IE)
    may the Lord think(IF) of me.
You are my help(IG) and my deliverer;(IH)
    you are my God, do not delay.(II)

Psalm 41[q]

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

Blessed(IJ) are those who have regard for the weak;(IK)
    the Lord delivers them in times of trouble.(IL)
The Lord protects(IM) and preserves them—(IN)
    they are counted among the blessed in the land—(IO)
    he does not give them over to the desire of their foes.(IP)
The Lord sustains them on their sickbed(IQ)
    and restores them from their bed of illness.(IR)

I said, “Have mercy(IS) on me, Lord;
    heal(IT) me, for I have sinned(IU) against you.”
My enemies say of me in malice,
    “When will he die and his name perish?(IV)
When one of them comes to see me,
    he speaks falsely,(IW) while his heart gathers slander;(IX)
    then he goes out and spreads(IY) it around.

All my enemies whisper together(IZ) against me;
    they imagine the worst for me, saying,
“A vile disease has afflicted him;
    he will never get up(JA) from the place where he lies.”
Even my close friend,(JB)
    someone I trusted,
one who shared my bread,
    has turned[r] against me.(JC)

10 But may you have mercy(JD) on me, Lord;
    raise me up,(JE) that I may repay(JF) them.
11 I know that you are pleased with me,(JG)
    for my enemy does not triumph over me.(JH)
12 Because of my integrity(JI) you uphold me(JJ)
    and set me in your presence forever.(JK)

13 Praise(JL) be to the Lord, the God of Israel,(JM)
    from everlasting to everlasting.
Amen and Amen.(JN)
