Psalm 36:5-37:7
English Standard Version
Psalm 36:5-37:7
English Standard Version
5 Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the clouds.
6 (A)Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;
(B)your judgments are like the great deep;
man and beast you (C)save, O Lord.
7 (D)How precious is your steadfast love, O God!
The children of mankind take refuge (E)in the shadow of your wings.
8 They feast on (F)the abundance of your house,
and you give them drink from (G)the river of (H)your delights.
9 For with you is (I)the fountain of life;
(J)in your light do we see light.
10 Oh, continue your steadfast love to those who (K)know you,
and your righteousness to (L)the upright of heart!
11 Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me,
nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 There (M)the evildoers lie fallen;
they are thrust down, (N)unable to rise.
He Will Not Forsake His Saints
[a] Of David.
37 (O)Fret not yourself because of evildoers;
be not (P)envious of wrongdoers!
2 For they will soon (Q)fade like (R)the grass
and wither (S)like the green herb.
3 (T)Trust in the Lord, and do good;
(U)dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.[b]
4 (V)Delight yourself in the Lord,
and he will (W)give you the desires of your heart.
5 (X)Commit your way to the Lord;
(Y)trust in him, and he will act.
6 (Z)He will bring forth your righteousness as the light,
and your justice as (AA)the noonday.
7 (AB)Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;
(AC)fret not yourself over the one who (AD)prospers in his way,
over the man who carries out evil devices!
