37:18 The Lord watches over the innocent day by day 1
and they possess a permanent inheritance. 2
37:19 They will not be ashamed when hard times come; 3
when famine comes they will have enough to eat. 4
37:20 But 5 evil men will die;
the Lord’s enemies will be incinerated 6 –
they will go up in smoke. 7
37:21 Evil men borrow, but do not repay their debt,
but the godly show compassion and are generous. 8
37:22 Surely 9 those favored by the Lord 10 will possess the land,
but those rejected 11 by him will be wiped out. 12
37:23 The Lord grants success to the one
whose behavior he finds commendable. 13
37:24 Even if 14 he trips, he will not fall headlong, 15
for the Lord holds 16 his hand.
For the music director, a psalm of David.
139:1 O Lord, you examine me 18 and know.
139:2 You know when I sit down and when I get up;
even from far away you understand my motives.
142:3 Even when my strength leaves me, 19
you watch my footsteps. 20
In the path where I walk
they have hidden a trap for me.
23:10 But he knows the pathway that I take; 21
if he tested me, I would come forth like gold. 22
1:7 The Lord is good 23 –
indeed, 24 he is a fortress 25 in time of distress, 26
and he protects 27 those who seek refuge 28 in him.
10:14 “I am the good shepherd. I 29 know my own 30 and my own know me –
2:1 But as for you, communicate the behavior that goes with 31 sound teaching.
