Psalms 36:11

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

Cast your burden on Yahweh and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.

For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.

Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?

You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance.

Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

For David says concerning him, ‘I saw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.

The Rock: his work is perfect, for all his ways are just. A God of faithfulness who does no wrong, just and right is he.

You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, neither will you be afraid of destruction when it comes.

My foot has held fast to his steps. I have kept his way, and not turned away.

Pour out the fury of your anger. Look at everyone who is proud, and bring him low.

For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.

Our heart has not turned back, neither have our steps strayed from your path,

For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven’t set God before them.

From the end of the earth, I will call to you when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

The wicked have laid a snare for me, yet I haven’t gone astray from your precepts.

Yahweh, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day. Everyone mocks me.

Now I know that Yahweh is greater than all gods because of the way that they treated people arrogantly.”

When they brought those kings out to Joshua, Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who went with him, “Come near. Put your feet on the necks of these kings.” They came near, and put their feet on their necks.

But you are forgers of lies. You are all physicians of no value.

I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.

In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.

The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all day long.

Blessed is the man who makes Yahweh his trust, and doesn’t respect the proud, nor such as turn away to lies.

He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress. I will never be greatly shaken.

They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, “Who will see them?”

You allowed men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water, but you brought us to the place of abundance.

Nevertheless, I am continually with you. You have held my right hand.

They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.

The Lord is at your right hand. He will crush kings in the day of his wrath.

You pushed me back hard, to make me fall, but Yahweh helped me.

Many are my persecutors and my adversaries. I haven’t swerved from your testimonies.

Yahweh is your keeper. Yahweh is your shade on your right hand.

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.

Deliver me, Yahweh, from the evil man. Preserve me from the violent man:

Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of the workers of iniquity.

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, you knew my route. On the path in which I walk, they have hidden a snare for me.

but have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines, have drunk wine from them. You have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which don’t see, or hear, or know; and you have not glorified the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways.

“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling to all the surrounding peoples, and it will also be on Judah in the siege against Jerusalem.

he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, insulting, evil suspicions,

But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

God is my rock in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge. My savior, you save me from violence.

“Now give a pledge. Be collateral for me with yourself. Who is there who will strike hands with me?

He has dug a hole, and has fallen into the pit which he made.

The trouble he causes shall return to his own head. His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.

he who doesn’t lend out his money for usury, nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken.

For the king trusts in Yahweh. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.

They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into the middle of it themselves.

My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those who judge his soul.

For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.

With my whole heart, I have sought you. Don’t let me wander from your commandments.

Let the proud be disappointed, for they have overthrown me wrongfully. I will meditate on your precepts.

Redeem me from the oppression of man, so I will observe your precepts.

then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper’s poison is under their lips.

Yahweh, keep me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.

To be partial to the faces of the wicked is not good, nor to deprive the innocent of justice.

but Yahweh of Armies is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.

Come, my people, enter into your rooms, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past.

Should evil be recompensed for good? For they have dug a pit for my soul. Remember how I stood before you to speak good for them, to turn away your wrath from them.

Let a cry be heard from their houses when you bring a troop suddenly on them; for they have dug a pit to take me and hidden snares for my feet.

and tell them, Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne on these stones that I have hidden; and he will spread his royal pavilion over them.

“Therefore say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet I will be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they have come.” ’

At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored him who lives forever; for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom from generation to generation.

Let’s walk properly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and lustful acts, and not in strife and jealousy.

By so much, Jesus has become the collateral of a better covenant.

They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God, the Almighty! Righteous and true are your ways, you King of the nations.

In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.

I have set Yahweh always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken.

God, the proud have risen up against me. A company of violent men have sought after my soul, and they don’t hold regard for you before them.

The arrogant mock me excessively, but I don’t swerve from your law.

The proud have smeared a lie upon me. With my whole heart, I will keep your precepts.

The proud have dug pits for me, contrary to your law.

Ensure your servant’s well-being. Don’t let the proud oppress me.

The proud have hidden a snare for me, they have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps for me.

I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you, who have said to your soul, ‘Bow down, that we may walk over you;’ and you have laid your back as the ground, like a street to those who walk over.”

Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those who walk in pride he is able to abase.
