---

Let them be clothed with shame and confusion that magnify themselves against me.

²⁷Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that delight in my righteousness;

Yea, let them say continually: 'Magnified be the Lord,

Who delighteth in the peace of His servant.'

²⁸And my tongue shall speak of Thy righteousness,

And of Thy praise all the day.

36 For the Leader. [A Psalm] of David the servant of the Lord

²Transgression speaketh to the wicked, methinks—

There is no fear of God before his eyes.

³For it flattereth him in his eyes,

Until his iniquity be found, and he be hated.

⁴The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit;

He hath left off to be wise, to do good.

⁵He deviseth iniquity upon his bed;

He setteth himself in a way that is not good;

He abhorreth not evil.

 

⁶Thy lovingkindness, O Lord, is in the heavens;

Thy faithfulness reacheth unto the skies.

⁷Thy righteousness is like the mighty mountains;

Thy judgments are like the great deep;

Man and beast Thou preservest, O Lord.

⁸How precious is Thy lovingkindness, O God!

And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Thy wings.

⁹They are abundantly satisfied with the fatness of Thy house;

And Thou makest them drink of the river of Thy pleasures.

¹⁰For with Thee is the fountain of life;

In Thy light do we see light.

 

¹¹O continue Thy lovingkindness unto them that know Thee;

And Thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

¹²Let not the foot of pride overtake me,

And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.

¹³There are the workers of iniquity fallen;

They are thrust down, and are not able to rise.

37 [A Psalm] of David.

אFret not thyself because of evil-doers,

Neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.

²For they shall soon wither like the grass,

And fade as the green herb.

 

ב³Trust in the Lord, and do good;

Dwell in the land, and cherish faithfulness.

⁴So shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord;

And He shall give thee the petitions of thy heart.

 

ג⁵Commit thy way unto the Lord;

Trust also in Him, and He will bring it to pass.

⁶And He will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light,

And thy right as the noonday.
