13
Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
14
Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
15
The eyes of the L
ORD
are
upon the righteous, and his ears
are open
unto their cry.
16
The face of the L
ORD
is
against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from
the earth.
17
The righteous
cry, and the L
ORD
heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
18
The L
ORD
is
nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite
spirit.
19
Many
are
the afflictions of the righteous: but the L
ORD
delivereth him out of them all.
20
He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
21
Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
22
The L
ORD
redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be
desolate.
CHAPTER 35
Plead
my cause,
O L
ORD
, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
2
Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
3
Draw out also the spear, and stop
the way
against them that persecute me: say unto my
soul, I
am
thy salvation.
4
Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back
and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
5
Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the L
ORD
chase
them.
6
Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the L
ORD
persecute them.
7
For without cause have they hid for me their net
in
a pit,
which
without cause they have
digged for my soul.
8
Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself:
into that very destruction let him fall.
9
And my soul shall be joyful in the L
ORD
: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
10
All my bones shall say, L
ORD
, who
is
like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him
that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?
11
False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge
things
that I knew not.
12
They rewarded me evil for good
to
the spoiling of my soul.
13
But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing
was
sackcloth: I humbled my soul with
fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
14
I behaved myself as though
he had been
my friend
or
brother: I bowed down heavily, as
one that mourneth
for his
mother.
