Psalms 36 Cross References - LXX2012

¹ (37) [A Psalm] of David. Fret not yourself because of evil-doers, neither be envious of them that do iniquity. ² For they shall soon be withered as the grass, and shall soon fall away as the green herbs. ³ Hope in the Lord, and do good; and dwell on the land, and you shall be fed with the wealth of it. ⁴ Delight [yourself] in the Lord; and he shall grant you the requests of your heart. ⁵ Disclose your way to the Lord, and hope in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass. ⁶ And he shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgment as the noon-day. ⁷ Submit yourself to the Lord, and supplicate him: fret not yourself because of him that prospers in his way, at the man that does unlawful deeds. ⁸ ease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not yourself so as to do evil. ⁹ For evil-doers shall be destroyed: but they that wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the land. ¹⁰ And yet a little while, and the sinner shall not be, and you shall seek for his place, and shall not find [it]. ¹¹ But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight [themselves] in the abundance of peace. ¹² The sinner will watch for the righteous, and gnash his teeth upon him. ¹³ But the Lord shall laugh at him: for he foresees that his day will come. ¹⁴ Sinners have drawn their swords, they have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy one, [and] to kill the upright in heart. ¹⁵ Let their sword enter into their [own] heart, and their bows be broken. ¹⁶ A little is better to the righteous than abundant wealth of sinners. ¹⁷ For the arms of sinners shall be broken; but the Lord supports the righteous. ¹⁸ The Lord knows the ways of the perfect; and their inheritance shall be for ever. ¹⁹ They shall not be ashamed in an evil time; and in days of famine they shall be satisfied. ²⁰ For the sinners shall perish; and the enemies of the Lord at the moment of their being honored and exalted have utterly vanished like smoke. ²¹ The sinner borrows, and will not pay again: but the righteous has compassion, and gives. ²² For they that bless him shall inherit the earth; and they that curse him shall be utterly destroyed. ²³ The steps of a man are rightly ordered by the Lord: and he will take pleasure in his way. ²⁴ When he falls, he shall not be ruined: for the Lord supports his hand. ²⁵ I was [once] young, indeed I am now old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread. ²⁶ He is merciful, and lends continually; and his seed shall be blessed. ²⁷ Turn aside from evil, and do good; and dwell for ever. ²⁸ For the Lord loves judgment, and will not forsake his saints; they shall be preserved for ever: the blameless shall be avenged, but the seed of the ungodly shall be utterly destroyed. ²⁹ But the righteous shall inherit the earth, and dwell upon it for ever. ³⁰ The mouth of the righteous will meditate wisdom, and his tongue will speak of judgment. ³¹ The law of his God is in his heart; and his steps shall not slide. ³² The sinner watches the righteous, and seeks to kill him. ³³ But the Lord will not leave him in his hands, nor by any means condemn him when he is judged. ³⁴ Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt you to inherit the land: when the wicked are destroyed, you shall see [it]. ³⁵ I saw the ungodly very highly exalting himself, and lifting himself up like the cedars of Libanus. ³⁶ Yet I passed by, and behold! he was not: and I sought him, but his place was not found. ³⁷ Maintain innocence, and behold uprightness: for there is a remnant to the peaceful man. ³⁸ But the transgressors shall be utterly destroyed together: the remnants of the ungodly shall be utterly destroyed. ³⁹ But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord; and he is their defender in the time of affliction. ⁴⁰ And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: and he shall rescue them from sinners, and save them, because they have hoped in him.

²⁰ If I have sinned, what shall I be able to do, O you that understand the mind of men? why have you made me as your accuser, and [why] am I a burden to you?

⁷ Will you find out the traces of the Lord? or have you come to the end [of that] which the Almighty has made? ⁸ Heaven [is] high; and what will you do? and there are deeper things than those in hell; what do you know? ⁹ Or longer than the measure of the earth, or the breadth of the sea.

¹ Righteous are you, O Lord, that I may make my defence to you, yes, I will speak to you [of] judgments. Why [is it] that the way of ungodly [men] prospers? [that] all that deal very treacherously are flourishing?

¹¹ and shall not I spare Nineve, the great city, in which dwell more than twelve myriads of human beings, who do not know their right hand or their left hand; and [also] much cattle?

⁶ And the Lord passed by before his face, and proclaimed, The Lord God, pitiful and merciful, longsuffering and very compassionate, and true,

¹² The Lord recompense your work; may a full reward be given you of the Lord God of Israel, to whom you have come to trust under his wings.

⁸ There went up a smoke in his wrath, and fire burst into a flame at his presence: coals were kindled at it.

⁷ and God shall be exalted, their wounds were [caused by] the weapon of the foolish children,

⁵ A man shall say, Sion [is my] mother; and [such] a man was born in her; and the Highest himself has founded her.

⁷ who executes judgment for the wronged: who gives food to the hungry. The Lord looses the fettered ones: ⁸ the Lord gives wisdom to the blind: The Lord sets up the broken down: the Lord loves the righteous: the Lord preserves the strangers;

¹⁷ Let him not see the milk of the pastures, nor the supplies of honey and butter.

¹¹ They have now cast me out and compassed me round about: they have set their eyes [so as] to bow them down to the ground.

¹⁵ And the springs of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed, at your rebuke, O Lord, at the blasting of the breath of your wrath.

Eat, O friends, and drink; yes, brethren, drink abundantly.

⁶ And the Lord of hosts shall make [a feast] for all the nations: on this mount they shall drink gladness, they shall drink wine:

²⁰ the beasts of the field shall bless me, the owls and young ostriches; for I have given water in the wilderness, and rivers in the dry land, to give drink to my chosen race,

²¹ And if they shall thirst, he shall lead them through the desert; he shall bring forth water to them out of the rock: the rock shall be cloven, and the water shall flow forth, and my people shall drink.

¹ You⌃ that thirst, go to the water, and all that have no money, go [and] buy; and eat [and drink] wine and fat without money or price. ² Therefore do you⌃ value at the price of money, and [give] your labor for that which will not satisfy? listen to me, and you⌃ shall eat that which is good, and your soul shall feast itself on good things.

¹¹ and your God shall be with you continually, and you shall be satisfied according as your soul desires; and your bones shall be made fat, and shall be as a well-watered garden, and as a fountain [from] which the water has not failed.

¹² Therefore, behold, his days come, says the Lord, when I shall send upon him bad leaders, and they shall lead him astray, and they shall utterly break in pieces his possessions, and shall cut his horns asunder. ¹³ And Moab shall be ashamed of Chamos, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Baethel their hope, having trusted in them. ¹⁴ How will you⌃ say, We are strong, and men strong for war?

¹⁷ For if he has anything good, and if he has anything fair, the young [men shall have] corn, and [there shall be] fragrant wine to the virgins.

³ As when his lamp shone over my head; when by his light I walked through darkness.

¹ (28) [A Psalm] of David. To you, O Lord, have I cried; my God, be not silent toward me: lest you be silent toward me, and so I should be likened to them that go down to the pit.

¹⁸ But the ways of the righteous shine like light; they go on and shine, until the day be fully come.

⁵ And now, O house of Jacob, come, [and] let us walk in the light of the Lord.

³ Draw you⌃ therefore water with joy out of the wells of salvation.

¹ Be enlightened, be enlightened, O Jerusalem, for your light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. ² Behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and [there shall be] gross darkness on the nations: but the Lord shall appear upon you, and his glory shall be seen upon you.

¹⁹ And you shall no more have the sun for a light by day, nor shall the rising of the moon lighten your night; but the Lord shall be your everlasting light, and God your glory.

¹³ For my people has committed two [faults], and evil ones: they have forsaken me, the fountain of water of life, and hewn out for themselves broken cisterns, which will not be able to hold water.

² But to you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise, and healing [shall be] in his wings: and you⌃ shall go forth, and bound as young calves let loose from bonds.

⁸ The Lord shall judge the nations: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to my innocence that is in me. ⁹ Oh let the wickedness of sinners come to an end; and [then] you shall direct the righteous, O God that search the hearts and reins. ¹⁰ My help is righteous, [coming] from God who saves the upright in heart.

¹⁰ And let them that know your name hope in you: for you, O Lord, have not failed them that diligently seek you.

¹⁷ There the sparrows will build their nests; and the house of the heron takes the lead among them.

¹ (144) [A Psalm] of David concerning Goliad. Blessed [be] the Lord my God, who instructs my hands for battle, [and] my fingers for war. ² My mercy, and my refuge; my helper, and my deliverer; my protector, in whom I have trusted; who subdues my people under me.

⁶ Lift up your eyes to the sky, and look on the earth beneath: for the sky was darkened like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and the inhabitants shall die in like manner: but my righteousness shall not fail. ⁷ Hear me, you⌃ that know judgment, the people in whose heart is my law: fear not the reproach of men, and be not overcome by their contempt. ⁸ For as a garment will be devoured by time, and as wool will be devoured by a moth, [so shall they be consumed]; but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation for all generations.

¹⁶ They understood not, they judged not the cause of the afflicted, nor the cause of the poor: is not this your not knowing me? says the Lord.

⁷ And I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord: and they shall be to me a people, and I will be to them a God: for they shall turn to me with all their heart.

³ for [there is] a voice of [men] crying out of Oronaim, destruction and great ruin.

¹¹ Behold now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. ¹² He sets up his tail like a cypress; and his nerves are wrapped together.

² Flee to the mountains as a sparrow?

³ Look on me, listen to me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death; ⁴ lest at any time mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him: my persecutors will exult if ever I should be moved. ⁵ But I have hoped in your mercy; my heart shall exult in your salvation.

⁸ Keep me as the apple of the eye from those that resist your right hand: you shall screen me by the covering of your wings,

⁸ There went up a smoke in his wrath, and fire burst into a flame at his presence: coals were kindled at it. ⁹ And he bowed the heaven, and came down: and thick darkness was under his feet. ¹⁰ And he mounted on cherubs and flew: he flew on the wings of winds. ¹¹ And he made darkness his secret place: round about him was his tabernacle, [even] dark water in the clouds of the air. ¹² At the brightness before him the clouds passed, hail and coals of fire. ¹³ The Lord also thundered from heaven, and the Highest uttered his voice. ¹⁴ And he sent forth [his] weapons, and scattered them; and multiplied lightnings, and routed them.

⁷ All that saw me mocked me: they spoke with [their] lips, they shook the head, [saying], ⁸ He hoped in the Lord: let him deliver him, let him save him, because he takes pleasure in him.

⁶ Forasmuch as I have remembered you on my bed: in the early seasons I have meditated on you.

³ verily they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us: ⁴ verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent.

¹ (126) A Song of Degrees. When the Lord turned the captivity of Sion, we became as comforted ones. ² Then was our mouth filled with joy, and our tongue with exultation: then would they say among the Gentiles, ³ The Lord has done great things among them. The Lord has done great things for us, we became joyful.

²³ And I will give it into the hands of them that injured you, and them that afflicted you; who said to your soul, Bow down, that we may pass over: and you did level your body with the ground to them passing by without.

³¹ Thus let all your enemies perish, O Lord: and they that love him shall be as the going forth of the sun in his strength.

⁵ Therefore the ungodly shall not rise in judgment, nor sinners in the counsel of the just.
