Psalms 37:7 Cross References - Coverdale

⁷ Holde the still in ye LORDE, and abyde pacietly vpon him: but greue not thy self at one that hath prosperite, and lyueth in abhominacion.

¹² Then spake Iosua vnto the LORDE (the same daye that the LORDE gaue ouer the Amorites before the children of Israel) and sayde in the presence of Israel: Sonne, holde styll at Gibeon, and thou Moone in the valley of Aialon.

⁷ Wherfore do wicked me lyue in health and prosperite, come to their olde age, & increase in riches? ⁸ Their childers children lyue in their sight, & their generacion before their eyes. ⁹ Their houses are safe from all feare, for the rodd of God doth not smyte the. ¹⁰ Their bullocke gendreth, and that not out of tyme: their cow calueth, and is not vnfrutefull. ¹¹ They sende forth their children by flockes, and their sonnes lede the daunce. ¹² They beare with them tabrettes and harpes, and haue instrumentes of musick at their pleasure. ¹³ They spende their dayes in welthynesse: but sodenly they go downe to hell. ¹⁴ They saye vnto God: go from vs, we desyre not the knowlege of thy wayes. ¹⁵ What maner of felowe is the Allmightie, that we shulde serue him? What profit shulde we haue, to submitte oure selues vnto him? ¹⁶ Lo, there is vtterly no goodnesse in them, therfore will not I haue to do with the councell of the vngodly. ¹⁷ How oft shal the candle of ye wicked be put out? how oft commeth their destruccion vpon them? O what sorowe shall God geue them for their parte in his wrath? ¹⁸ Yee they shal be euen as chaffe before the wynde, and as dust that the storme carieth awaye. ¹⁹ And though God saue their childre from soch sorowe, yet wil he so rewarde theselues, that they shal knowe it. ²⁰ Their owne destruccion and misery shal they se with their eyes, and drynke of the fearfull wrath of the Allmighty. ²¹ For whath careth he, what become of his housholde after his death? whose monethes passe awaye swifter then an arowe. ²² In as moch the as God hath ye hyest power of all, who can teach him eny knowlege? ²³ One dyeth now when he is mightie & at his best, rich and in prosperite: ²⁴ euen when his bowels are at the fattest, and his bones full of mary. ²⁵ Another dyeth in sorowe and heuynesse, and neuer had good daies. ²⁶ Now slepe they both a like in the earth, & the wormes couer them. ²⁷ But I knowe what ye thinke, yee and what ye ymagin agaynst me vnrightuously. ²⁸ For ye saye: where is the prynces palace? where is the dwellynge of the vngodly: ²⁹ Axe eny man that goeth by the waye, and (yf ye will not regarde their tokens & dedes) he shal tell you, ³⁰ that the wicked is kepte vnto the daye of destruccion, and that the vngodly shalbe brought forth in the daye of wrath. ³¹ Who darre reproue him for his wayes to his face? who rewardeth him for the vngraciousnesse that he doth? ³² Yet shal he be brought to his graue, and watch amonge the heape of the deed. ³³ The shal he be fayne to be buried amoge the stones by the broke syde. All men must folowe him, & there are innumerable gone before him. ³⁴ O how vayne is the comforte yt ye geue me? Are not youre answeres cleane contrary to right and treuth?

¹⁴ O tary thou ye LORDES leysure, be stronge, let thine hert be of good comforte, and wayte thou still for the LORDE.

¹ I wayted paciently for the LORDE, which enclyned himself vnto me, and herde my callinge.

⁸ I reproue the not because of thy sacrifice, yi burntofferinges are allwaye before me.

¹ My soule wayteth only vpon God, for of him commeth my helpe.

⁵ Sela. Neuertheles, my soule abydeth only vpon God, for he is my God.

³ And why. I was greued at ye wicked, to se the vngodly in soch prosperite. ⁴ For they are in no parell of death, but stonde fast like a palace. ⁵ They come in no misfortune like other folke, nether are they plaged like other men. ⁶ And this is the cause that they be so puft vp in pryde, & ouerwhelmed with cruelte and vnrigthuousnesse. ⁷ Their eyes swell for fatnesse, they do euen what they lyst. ⁸ Corrupte are they, and speake blasphemies maliciously, proude and presumptuous are their wordes. ⁹ They stretch forth their mouth vnto the heauen, & their tonge goeth thorow the worlde. ¹⁰ Therfore fall the people vnto them, and there out sucke they no small auauntage. ¹¹ Tush (saye they) how shulde God perceaue it? is there knowlege in the most hyest? ¹² Lo, these are the vngodly, these prospere in the worlde, these haue riches in possession. ¹³ Shulde I then clense my hert in vayne (thought I) & wash my hondes in innocency? ¹⁴ Wherfore shulde I be then punyshed daylie, & be chastened euery mornynge?

²² Saye not thou: I will recompence euell, but put yi trust in the LORDE, & he shal defende ye.

⁸ Yf thou seyst the poore to be oppressed and wrongeously dealt withall, so yt equite & the right of the lawe is wraisted in the londe: maruell not thou at soch iudgmet, for one greate ma kepeth touch with another, and the mightie helpe the selues together.

¹⁷ Thus I waite vpon the LORDE, that hath turned his face from the house of Iacob, and I loke vnto him.

¹³ For he stondeth thus in his owne coceate: This do I, thorow the power of myne owne honde, and thorow my wisdome: For I am wyse, I am he that remoue the londes of the people, I robbe their prynces: and (like one of the worthies) I dryue them from their hie seates. ¹⁴ My honde hath founde out the hoostes of the people, as it were a nest. And like as egges, that were layde here and there, are gathered together: So do I gather all countrees. And there is no man, yt darre be so bolde, as to touch a fether, that darre open his mouth, or once whisper.

¹⁵ For the LORDE God, euen the holy one of Israel hath promised thus: With stilsittinge and rest shal ye be healed, In quyetnesse and hope shal youre strength lie.

¹ O Lorde, thou art more rightuous, then that I shulde dispute with the: Neuertheles, let me talke with the in thinges reasonable. How happeneth it, that the waye off the vngodly is so prosperous? and that it goeth so wel with them, which (with out eny shame) offede and lyue in wickednesse?

²⁵ O how good is the LORDE vnto the, that put their trust in him, and to the soule that seketh after him? ²⁶ O how good is it with stilnesse to wate and tarie, for the health of the LORDE?

³⁶ The kinge shal do what him list, he shal exalte and magnifie himself agaynst all, that is God. Yee he shall speake maruelous thinges agaynst the God of all goddes, wherin he shal prospere, so longe till the wrath be fulfilled, for the conclusion is deuysed alredy.

¹¹ and sayde morouer vnto him: What shall we do vnto the, that the see maye ceasse from troublinge vs? (for the see wrought and was troublous)

³ for ye visio is yet farre of for a tyme, but at ye last it shal come to passe, & not fayle. And though he tary, yet wait thou for him, for in very dede he wil come, and not be slacke.

⁹ Let vs not be weery of well doynge: for wha the tyme is come, we shal reape without ceassinge.

³⁶ For ye haue nede of pacience, that after ye haue done the wil of God, ye mighte receaue the promes. ³⁷ For yet ouer a litle whyle, and then he that shal come, wyl come, and wyl not tary.

⁷ Be pacient therfore brethren, vnto the comynge of the LORDE. Beholde, the hussbade man wayteth for the precious frute of ye earth, and hath longe pacience there vpon, vntill he receaue the erly and the latter rayne. ⁸ Be ye also pacient therfore, and settle youre hertes, for the commynge of the LORDE draweth nye. ⁹ Grodge not one agaynst another brethren, lest ye be damned. Beholde, the iudge stondeth before the dore. ¹⁰ Take (my brethren) the prophetes for an ensample of sufferynge aduersitie, and of longe pacience, which spake in the name of the LORDE. ¹¹ Beholde we counte them happy which endure. Ye haue hearde of ye paciece of Iob, and haue knowen what ende the LORDE made. For the LORDE is very pitifull and mercifull.

³ and I sawe one of his heades as it were wounded to death, and his dedly wounde was healed. And all the worlde wodred at the beest, ⁴ and they worshipped the dragon which gaue power vnto the beest, and they worshipped the beest, sayenge: who is like vnto the beest? who is able to warre with him? ⁵ And there was geuen vnto him a mouth to speake greate thinges & blasphemies, and power was geuen vnto him, to do xlij. monethes. ⁶ And he opened his mouth vnto blasphemy agaynst God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle and them that dwell in heauen. ⁷ And it was geuen vnto him to make warre with the sayntes, and to ouercome them. And power was geuen him ouer all kynred, tonge, and nacion: ⁸ and all that dwell vpon the earth worshipt him: whose names are not wrytten in the boke of life of the lambe, which was kylled from the beginnynge of the worlde. ⁹ Yf eny man haue an eare, let him heare. ¹⁰ He that leadeth in to captiuite, shal go in to captiuite: he that killeth with a swearde, must be killed with ye swearde. Heare is the pacience, and the faith of the saynctes.
