Psalms · Chapter 37
Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
Trust in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and do good;
so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
Delight thyself also in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Commit thy way unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); trust also in him; and he shall bring
it to pass.
And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
Rest in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), they shall inherit the earth.
For yet a little while, and the wicked
shall not
be:
yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it
shall
not
be.
But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
The master shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy,
and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
A little that a righteous man hath
is better than the riches of many wicked.
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) upholdeth the righteous.
𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH)
shall be
as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.
For
such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and
they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
The steps of a
good man are ordered by 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH): and he delighteth in his way.
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) upholdeth
him with his hand.
I have been young, and
now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed
is
blessed.
Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
The torah of his Elohim
is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
Wait on 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and keep his way, and he shall 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 green bay tree.
Yet he passed away, and, lo, he
was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
Mark the perfect
man, and behold the upright: for the end of
that man
is peace.
But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
But the salvation of the righteous
is of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH):
he is
their strength in the time of trouble.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) shall help them and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

Tehillim38
Psalms · Chapter 38
O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.
There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither
is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.
For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
My wounds stink
and are corrupt because of my foolishness.
I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
For my loins are filled with a loathsome
disease: and
there is no soundness in my flesh.
I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
master, all my desire
is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.
My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
They also that seek after my life lay snares
for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.
But I, as a deaf
man, heard not; and
I was as a dumb man
that openeth not his mouth.
Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth
are
no reproofs.
For in thee, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), do I hope: thou wilt hear, O master my Elohim.
For I said,
Hear me, lest
otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify
themselves
against me.
For I
am ready to halt, and my sorrow
is continually before me.
For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
But mine enemies
are lively,
and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow
the thing that good
is.
Forsake me not, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH): O my Elohim, be not far from me.
Make haste to help me, O master my salvation.

Tehillim39
Psalms · Chapter 39
I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.
I was dumb with silence, I held my peace,
even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned:
then spake I with my tongue,
𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it
is; that I may know how frail I
am.
Behold, thou hast made my days
as an handbreadth; and mine age
is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state
is altogether vanity. Selah.
Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up
riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
And now, master, what wait I for? my hope
is in thee.
Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.
I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst
it.
Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.
When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man
is vanity. Selah.
Hear my prayer, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I
am a stranger with thee,
and a sojourner, as all my fathers
were.
O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.
