The wicked watcheth the righteous, And seeketh to slay him.

The wicked plotteth against the just, And gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

The law of his God is in his heart; None of his steps shall slide.

For I am ready to fall, And my sorrow is continually before me.

I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; Because thou didst it.

For innumerable evils have compassed me about; Mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; They are more than the hairs of my head; And my heart hath failed me.

I have seen the wicked in great power, And spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.

Jehovah, make me to know mine end, And the measure of my days, what it is; Let me know how frail I am.

There are the workers of iniquity fallen: They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise. Psalm 37 `A Psalm' of David.

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

Mine enemies speak evil against me, `saying', When will he die, and his name perish?

As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together; The end of the wicked shall be cut off.

Psalms 41

The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, To cast down the poor and needy, To slay such as are upright in the way.

Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation. Psalm 39 For the Chief Musician, Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

How precious is thy lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.

For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again; But the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.

I delight to do thy will, O my God; Yea, thy law is within my heart.

My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand afar off.

And Jehovah helpeth them, and rescueth them; He rescueth them from the wicked, and saveth them, Because they have taken refuge in him. Psalm 38 A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.

But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah; He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.

Surely every man walketh in a vain show; Surely they are disquieted in vain: He heapeth up `riches', and knoweth not who shall gather them.

I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly; Lo, I will not refrain my lips, O Jehovah, thou knowest.

They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil; And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

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

But I am poor and needy; `Yet' the Lord thinketh upon me: Thou art my help and my deliverer; Make no tarrying, O my God. Psalm 41 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; And my sorrow was stirred.

Psalms 36

Jehovah is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, And saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.
