37.29 :The righteous shall inherit the land,
 * And dwell therein for ever.


 * The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom,
 * And his tongue speaketh justice.
 * The law of his God is in his heart;
 * None of his steps slide.


 * The wicked watcheth the righteous,
 * And seeketh to slay him.
 * The will not leave him in his hand,
 * Nor suffer him to be condemned when he is judged.


 * Wait for the, and keep His way,
 * And He will exalt thee to inherit the land;
 * When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.


 * I have seen the wicked in great power,
 * And spreading himself like a leafy tree in its native soil.
 * But one passed by, and, lo, he was not;
 * Yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.


 * Mark the man of integrity, and behold the upright;
 * For there is a future for the man of peace.
 * But transgressors shall be destroyed together;
 * The future of the wicked shall be cut off.


 * But the salvation of the righteous is of the ;
 * He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
 * And the helpeth them, and delivereth them;
 * He delivereth them from the wicked, and saveth them,
 * Because they have taken refuge in Him.

A Psalm of David, to make memorial.


 * O, rebuke me not in Thine anger;
 * Neither chasten me in Thy wrath.
 * For Thine arrows are gone deep into me,
 * And Thy hand is come down upon me.
 * There is no soundness in my flesh because of Thine indignation;
 * Neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
 * For mine iniquities are gone over my head;
 * As a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
 * My wounds are noisome, they fester,
 * Because of my foolishness.
 * I am bent and bowed down greatly;
 * I go mourning all the day.
 * For my loins are filled with burning;
 * And there is no soundness in my flesh.
 * I am benumbed and sore crushed;
 * I groan by reason of the moaning of my heart.


 * Lord, all my desire is before Thee;
 * And my sighing is not hid from Thee.
 * My heart fluttereth, my strength faileth me;
 * As for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
 * My friends and my companions stand aloof from my plague;
 * And my kinsmen stand afar off.
 * They also that seek after my life lay snares for me;
