Those who have a godless heart harbor anger;
even when God binds them, they do not cry for help.

“They die in youth,
And their life ends among the cult prostitutes.

Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?

Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?

"O consider how great and excellent his works be, whom all men love and praise:

And who has knowledge of how the clouds are stretched out, or of the thunders of his tent?

He sealeth up the hand of every man, That all men whom he hath made may know it .

Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, The wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?

The Almighty, whom we have not fully found out, is great in vigour, - Neither, justice nor abounding righteousness, will he weaken.

“Men therefore fear Him;
He does not regard nor respect any who are wise in heart [in their own understanding and conceit].”

Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?

Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?

Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;

Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?

Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;

Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?

Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?

Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart?

Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven,

Who turneth the clots to dust, and then to be clots again?

Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.

Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?

To whom I have given the waste land for a heritage, and the salt land as a living-place.

“Will you have faith and depend on him to return your grain
And gather it from your threshing floor?

When she is shaking her wings on high, she makes sport of the horse and of him who is seated on him.

“Have you [Job] made him leap like a locust?
The majesty of his snorting [nostrils] is terrible.

“Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty?
Let him who disputes with God answer it.”

“Pour out the overflowings of your wrath,
And look at everyone who is proud and make him low.

Look at everyone who is proud, and humble him,
And [if you are so able] tread down the wicked where they stand.

See now the Great Beast, whom I made, even as I made you; he takes grass for food, like the ox.

“He is the first [in magnitude and power] of the works of God;
[Only] He who made him can bring near His sword [to master him].

Who dare lay a hand on him openly, and undertake to catch him? Or, who dare put a hook through his nose, and lay a snare for him?

None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?

Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.

Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?

Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.

"His neck is so powerful that all who meet him are terrified.

Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.

“He looks on everything that is high [without terror];
He is monarch over all the sons of pride. [And now, Job, who are you who does not dare to disturb the beast, yet who dares resist Me, the beast’s creator? Everything under the heavens is Mine; therefore, who can have a claim against God?]”

Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

Then all his brothers and sisters and all who had known him before came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house; and they consoled him and comforted him over all the [distressing] adversities that the Lord had brought on him. And each one gave him a piece of money, and each a ring of gold.

Nowhere in all the land could women be found who were as beautiful as Job's daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance alongside their brothers.

O the happiness of that one, who Hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked. And in the way of sinners hath not stood, And in the seat of scorners hath not sat;

Therefore the wicked will not stand [unpunished] in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

He who is sitting in the heavens doth laugh, The Lord doth mock at them.

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, though his anger burn but a little. Blessed are all who have their trust in him.

O Lord, how my enemies have increased!
Many are rising up against me.

Many there are who say of my soul, "There is no help for him in God." Selah.

But you, Yahweh, [are] a shield around me, my glory and the one who lifts up my head.

I will not be intimidated or afraid of the ten thousands
Who have set themselves against me all around.

For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A Davidic psalm.Answer me when I call,
God, who vindicates me.
You freed me from affliction;
be gracious to me and hear my prayer.

But know that the Lord has set apart for Himself [and dealt wonderfully with] the godly man [the one of honorable character and moral courage—the one who does right].
The Lord hears and responds when I call to Him.

There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

You make me happier than those who have abundant grain and wine.

For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness;
No evil [person] dwells with You.

Boastful ones will not stand before you; you hate all those who practice wickedness.

You destroy those who tell lies;
The Lord detests and rejects the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

Be my guide, O Lord, in the ways of your righteousness, because of those who are against me; make your way straight before my face.

But let all who take refuge and put their trust in You rejoice,
Let them ever sing for joy;
Because You cover and shelter them,
Let those who love Your name be joyful and exult in You.

For You, O Lord, bless the righteous man [the one who is in right standing with You];
You surround him with favor as with a shield.

For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

My eyes are wasting away with trouble; they are becoming old because of all those who are against me.

Get away from me, all of you who practice evil, for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping.

Let all those who are against me be shamed and deeply troubled; let them be turned back and suddenly put to shame.

O Lord my God, in You I take refuge;
Save me and rescue me from all those who pursue me,

If I have done evil to him who was at peace with me,
Or without cause robbed him who was my enemy,

Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous [those in right standing with You];
For the righteous God tries the hearts and minds.

My shield is with God, Who saveth the upright in heart.

God is a righteous judge, and a God who is indignant all the day.

See the one who is pregnant with wickedness, who conceives destructive plans, and gives birth to harmful lies --

{To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.} O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

You have made clear your strength even out of the mouths of babies at the breast, because of those who are against you; so that you may put to shame the cruel and violent man.

The Lord will be a high tower for those who are crushed down, a high tower in times of trouble;

They trust in Thee who do know Thy name, For Thou hast not forsaken Those seeking Thee, O Jehovah.

Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings.

For He who is seeking for blood Them hath remembered, He hath not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.

Favour me, O Jehovah, See mine affliction by those hating me, Thou who liftest me up from the gates of death,

The sinners and all the nations who have no memory of God will be turned into the underworld.

The wicked one arrogantly pursues the afflicted, who are trapped in the schemes he devises.

For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

He is waiting in the dark places of the towns: in the secret places he puts to death those who have done no wrong: his eyes are secretly turned against the poor.

You have seen it; for your eyes are on sorrow and grief, to take it into your hand: the poor man puts his faith in you; you have been the helper of the child who has no father.

To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, That man who is of the earth may be terrible no more.

The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked,
And His soul hates the [malevolent] one who loves violence.

Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

Because of the oppression of the afflicted, because of the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith Jehovah, I will set him in safety, at whom they puff.

How long is my soul to be in doubt, with sorrow in my heart all the day? how long will he who is against me be given power over me?

And he who is against me may not say, I have overcome him; and those who are troubling me may not be glad when I am moved.

[The] fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt. They do abominable deeds. There is none who does good.

The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the children of men
To see if there are any who understand (act wisely),
Who [truly] seek after God, [longing for His wisdom and guidance].

All have gone astray; they are altogether corrupt. There is not one who does good; there is not even one.

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

Then they will be filled with terror,
for God is with those who are righteous.

Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When Jehovah doth turn back To a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice -- Israel is glad!

{A Psalm of David.} LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

He who is walking uprightly, And working righteousness, And speaking truth in his heart.

He does not slander with his tongue,
Nor does evil to his neighbor,
Nor takes up a reproach against his friend;

In whose eyes a reprobate is despised, But who honoreth them that fear Jehovah; He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not;

He does not put out his money at interest [to a fellow Israelite],
And does not take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things will never be shaken.

But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
