Psalms 37:22–26

³³¶ The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.

²²If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maran-atha.

¹³Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

⁹For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.

¹⁰For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

³I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.

⁴¹Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

¹⁵Ye are blessed of the Lord which made heaven and earth.

²¹Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.

¹BLESSED is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways.

¹BLESSED is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

¹¹But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

¹⁸The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.

²⁸For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

³Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.

⁴I will bring it forth, saith the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.

⁹A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.

¹³³Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

²⁶Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.

⁹He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.

²He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

⁸The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

¹³Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.

²³¶ O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

³He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

¹⁰He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.

¹¹The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.

¹¹My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.

¹²Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

⁵Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.

⁵O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!

²⁴But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord.

¹A FALSE balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is his delight.

²⁰They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the Lord: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.

¹⁶But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

¹⁶For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

¹⁴The Lord upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.

¹⁸When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O Lord, held me up.

⁷Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.

⁸¶ Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me.

²⁷My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

²⁸And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

²⁹My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.

³⁰I and my Father are one.

³¹¶ And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:

³²But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

²He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

¹⁹Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.

²⁰He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

³⁴And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;

⁶The Lord lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.

¹⁷For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord upholdeth the righteous.

¹²They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

⁶⁰And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.

⁶¹And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

⁶²And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

⁵Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

²⁸For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

²His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

¹³His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

²²For the Lord will not forsake his people for his great name’s sake: because it hath pleased the Lord to make you his people.

⁹Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

¹⁴For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

¹⁸Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.

⁵There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

⁷And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.

⁵³He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.

⁵⁴He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;

⁵⁵As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.

²²A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.

⁹Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.

⁵And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

⁶For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

⁶And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.

⁷I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.

²³He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.

¹⁶There went with us also certain of the disciples of Cæsarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.

⁸Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,

⁹Yet for love’s sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

¹⁶Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.

¹⁵Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.

¹⁰Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.

⁵A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

²¹The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.

⁷Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

⁸But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.

⁹Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the Lord against thee, and it be sin unto thee.

¹⁰Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.

³⁹And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:

³⁵But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

³⁶Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

³⁷Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

³⁸Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

⁷The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.

⁹He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

¹³For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee.
