35.26 :Let them be clothed with shame and confusion that magnify themselves against me.
 * Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that delight in my righteousness;
 * Yea, let them say continually: 'Magnified be the ,
 * Who delighteth in the peace of His servant.'
 * And my tongue shall speak of Thy righteousness,
 * And of Thy praise all the day.

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


 * Transgression speaketh to the wicked, methinks—
 * There is no fear of God before his eyes.
 * For it flattereth him in his eyes,
 * Until his iniquity be found, and he be hated.
 * The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit;
 * He hath left off to be wise, to do good.
 * He deviseth iniquity upon his bed;
 * He setteth himself in a way that is not good;
 * He abhorreth not evil.


 * Thy lovingkindness, O, is in the heavens;
 * Thy faithfulness reacheth unto the skies.
 * Thy righteousness is like the mighty mountains;
 * Thy judgments are like the great deep;
 * Man and beast Thou preservest, O.
 * How precious is Thy lovingkindness, O God!
 * And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Thy wings.
 * They are abundantly satisfied with the fatness of Thy house;
 * And Thou makest them drink of the river of Thy pleasures.
 * For with Thee is the fountain of life;
 * In Thy light do we see light.


 * O continue Thy lovingkindness unto them that know Thee;
 * And Thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
 * Let not the foot of pride overtake me,
 * And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
 * There are the workers of iniquity fallen;
 * They are thrust down, and are not able to rise.

[A Psalm] of David.


 * Fret not thyself because of evil-doers,
 * Neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.
 * For they shall soon wither like the grass,
 * And fade as the green herb.


 * Trust in the, and do good;
 * Dwell in the land, and cherish faithfulness.
 * So shalt thou delight thyself in the ;
 * And He shall give thee the petitions of thy heart.


 * Commit thy way unto the ;
 * Trust also in Him, and He will bring it to pass.
 * And He will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light,
 * And thy right as the noonday.
