PSALM THIRTY SIX

Psalm 36  of David the servant of the Lord.

For the director of music. 

1 

I have a message from God in my heart

    concerning the sinfulness of the wicked:

There is no fear of God

    before their eyes.

2 

In their own eyes they flatter themselves

    too much to detect or hate their sin.

3 

The words of their mouths are wicked and deceitful;

    they fail to act wisely or do good.

4 

Even on their beds they plot evil;

    they commit themselves to a sinful course

    and do not reject what is wrong.

5 

Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens,

    your faithfulness to the skies.

6 

Your righteousness is like the highest mountains,

    your justice like the great deep.

    You, Lord, preserve both people and animals.

7 

How priceless is your unfailing love, O God!

    People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.

8 

They feast in the abundance of your house;

    you give them drink from your river of delights.

9 

For with you is the fountain of life;

    in your light we see light.

10 

Continue your love to those who know you,

    your righteousness to the upright in heart.

11 

May the foot of the proud not come against me,

    nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.

12 

See how the evildoers lie fallen –

    thrown down, not able to rise!

PSALM THIRTY FIVE

 Psalm 35

Of David.

1 

Contend, Lord, with those who contend with me;

    fight against those who fight against me.

2 

Take up shield and armour;

    arise and come to my aid.

3 

Brandish spear and javelin

    against those who pursue me.

Say to me,

    ‘I am your salvation.’

4 

May those who seek my life

    be disgraced and put to shame;

may those who plot my ruin

    be turned back in dismay.

5 

May they be like chaff before the wind,

    with the angel of the Lord driving them away;

6 

may their path be dark and slippery,

    with the angel of the Lord pursuing them.

7 

Since they hid their net for me without cause

    and without cause dug a pit for me,

8 

may ruin overtake them by surprise –

    may the net they hid entangle them,

    may they fall into the pit, to their ruin.

9 

Then my soul will rejoice in the Lord

    and delight in his salvation.

10 

My whole being will exclaim,

    ‘Who is like you, Lord?

You rescue the poor from those too strong for them,

    the poor and needy from those who rob them.’

11 

Ruthless witnesses come forward;

    they question me on things I know nothing about.

12 

They repay me evil for good

    and leave me like one bereaved.

13 

Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth

    and humbled myself with fasting.

When my prayers returned to me unanswered,

14 

    I went about mourning

    as though for my friend or brother.

I bowed my head in grief

    as though weeping for my mother.

15 

But when I stumbled, they gathered in glee;

    assailants gathered against me without my knowledge.

    They slandered me without ceasing.

16 

Like the ungodly they maliciously mocked;

    they gnashed their teeth at me.

17 

How long, Lord, will you look on?

    Rescue me from their ravages,

    my precious life from these lions.

18 

I will give you thanks in the great assembly;

    among the throngs I will praise you.

19 

Do not let those gloat over me

    who are my enemies without cause;

do not let those who hate me without reason

    maliciously wink the eye.

20 

They do not speak peaceably,

    but devise false accusations

    against those who live quietly in the land.

21 

They sneer at me and say, ‘Aha! Aha!

    With our own eyes we have seen it.’

22 

Lord, you have seen this; do not be silent.

    Do not be far from me, Lord.

23 

Awake, and rise to my defence!

    Contend for me, my God and Lord.

24 

Vindicate me in your righteousness, Lord my God;

    do not let them gloat over me.

25 

Do not let them think, ‘Aha, just what we wanted!’

    or say, ‘We have swallowed him up.’

26 

May all who gloat over my distress

    be put to shame and confusion;

may all who exalt themselves over me

    be clothed with shame and disgrace.

27 

May those who delight in my vindication

    shout for joy and gladness;

may they always say, ‘The Lord be exalted,

    who delights in the well-being of his servant.’

28 

My tongue will proclaim your righteousness,

    your praises all day long.
