right he forsaketh not his that be godly, but | they are-preserved for ever. 29 The unrighteous | shall be punished: as for the seed of the ungodly, it shall-be rooted out. 30 The righteous shall inherit the land: and| dwell therein for ever. 31 The mouth of the righteous is exercisedin wisdom and his tongue will-be talking of judgement. 32 The law of his GOD is in-his heart and his goings shall not slide. 33 The ungodly | seeth the righteous and | seeketh occasion to slay him. 34 The LORD will not leave him in-his hand : nor condemn him when he-is judged. 35 Hope thou in the LORD, and keep His way, and He shall promote thee, that thou shalt possess the land when the ungodly shall | perish, thou shalt see it. 36 I myself have seen the ungodly in great power and flourishing | like a green bay-tree. 37 I went by, and | lo, he-was gone : I sought him, but his place could no where be found. 38 Keep innocency, and take heed unto the | thing that-is right for that shall | bring a-man peace at-the last. 39 As for the transgressors, they shall | perish together and the end of the ungodly is, they shall be rooted out at-the last. 40 But the salvation of the righteous | cometh of-the LORD: Who is also their | strength in-the time of trouble. 41 And the LORD shall stand by them, and save them: He shall deliver them from the ungodly, and shall save them, because they put their trust in Him. PUT UT me not to rebuke, O | Lord, in-Thine anger neither chasten me in-Thy heavy displeasure. 2 For Thine arrows | stick fast in me: and Thy hand presseth me sore. 3 There is no health in my flesh, because ofThy-displeasure: neither is there any rest in my | bones, by reason of-my sin. 4 For my wickednesses : head and are like a sore burden, too | heavy for me to bear. 5 My wounds stink, and | are corrupt : because of my foolishness. G 6 I am brought into so great | trouble and misery that I go | mourning all the-day long. 7 For my loins are filled with a | sore disease: and there is no whole part in-my body. 8 I am feeble, and sore smitten: I have roared for the very disquietness of-my heart. 9 LORD, Thou knowest | all my-desire : and my groaning is not hid from Thee. 10 My heart panteth, my strength hath failed me and the sight of mine | eyes is gone from me. 11 My lovers and my neighbours did stand looking upon-my trouble and my kinsmen stood afar off. : 12 They also that sought after my life | la^id snares for me and they that went about to do me evil talked of wickedness, and imagined deceit | all the day long. 13 As for me, I was like a deaf man, and | heard not and as one that is dumb, who | doth not open his mouth. 14 I became even as a man that | heareth not and in whose | mouth are no reproofs. 15 For in Thee, O LORD, have I put my trust Thou shalt answer for me, O Lord my GOD. 16 I have required that they, even mine enemies, should not | triumph over me for when my foot slipped, they rejoiced greatly against me. 17 And I, truly, am | set in-the plague and ,my heaviness is ever in my sight. 18 For I will confess my wickedness: and be sorry for my sin. 19 But mine enemies | live, and-are mighty: and they that hate me wrongfully | are many in number. 20 They also that reward evil for good | are against me because I follow the thing that good is. 21 Forsake me not, O Lord my GOD : be not Thou far from me. 22 Make | haste to help me : O LORD | God of my salvation.
