Psalms 36:11-22 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

11. But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight in abundance of peace.

12. The sinner shall watch the just man: and shall gnash upon him with his teeth.

13. But the Lord shall laugh at him: for he foreseeth that his day shall come.

14. The wicked have drawn out the sword: they have bent their bow. To cast down the poor and needy, to kill the upright of heart.

15. Let their sword enter into their own hearts, and let their bow be broken.

16. Better is a little to the just, than the great riches of the wicked.

17. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken in pieces; but the Lord strengtheneth the just.

18. The Lord knoweth the days of undefiled; and their inheritance shall be for ever.

19. They shall not be confounded in the evil time; and in the days of famine they shall be filled:

20. because the wicked shall perish. And the enemies of the Lord, presently after they shall be honoured and exalted, shall come to nothing and vanish like smoke.

21. The sinner shall borrow, and not pay again; but the just sheweth mercy and shall give.

22. For such as bless him shall inherit the land: but such as curse him shall perish.
