Psalms 34
[1] I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
[2] My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear
thereof, and be glad.
[3] O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. [4] I
sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. [5]
They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
[6] This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all
his troubles.
[7] The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and
delivereth them.
[8] O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
[9] O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
[10] The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the
LORD shall not want any good thing.
[11] Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
[12] What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
[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 LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
[16] The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the
remembrance of them from the earth. [17] The righteous cry, and the LORD
heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
[18] The LORD 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 LORD 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 LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that
trust in him shall be desolate.

Psalms 35
[1] Plead my cause, O LORD, 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 LORD chase them.
[6] Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD 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 LORD:
it shall rejoice in his salvation.
[10] All my bones shall say, LORD, 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. [15] But in mine adversity they rejoiced,
and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves
together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:
[16] With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
[17] Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their
destructions, my darling from the lions. [18] I will give thee thanks in
the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.
[19] Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither
let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause. [20] For they
speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are
quiet in the land.
[21] Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our
eye hath seen it.
[22] This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
[23] Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God
and my Lord.
[24] Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them
not rejoice over me.
[25] Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them
not say, We have swallowed him up.
[26] Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at
mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify
themselves against me.
[27] Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause:
yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath
pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. [28] And my tongue shall speak
of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.

Psalms 36
[1] The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no
fear of God before his eyes.
[2] For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found
to be hateful.
[3] The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be
wise, and to do good.
[4] He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is
not good; he abhorreth not evil.
[5] Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth
unto the clouds.
[6] Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a
great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. [7] How excellent is thy
lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under
the shadow of thy wings. [8] They shall be abundantly satisfied with the
fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy
pleasures. [9] For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we
see light. [10] O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and
thy righteousness to the upright in heart. [11] Let not the foot of pride
come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.
[12] There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and
shall not be able to rise.
