'May' in the Bible

May my tongue sing about your promise, for all of your commands are right.

May Your hand be ready to help me,for I have chosen Your precepts.

Let me live, and I will praise You;may Your judgments help me.

May he not allow your foot to slip! May your protector not sleep!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:“May those who love you prosper;

may there be peace within your walls,prosperity within your fortresses.”

For the sake of my relatives and friends I will now say, "May there be peace within you."

{A Song of degrees of David.} If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

Those whose hope is in the Lord are like the mountain of Zion, which may not be moved, but keeps its place for ever.

For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the land of the righteous,So that the righteous will not put forth their hands to do wrong.

As for those who are bent on traveling a sinful path, may the Lord remove them, along with those who behave wickedly! May Israel experience peace!

May the Lord bless you from Zion,so that you will see the prosperity of Jerusalemall the days of your life

And may you see your children's children! Peace be on Israel! A Song of Ascents

{A Song of degrees.} Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

May all who hate ZionBe put to shame and turned backward;

May they become like a tuft of grass on a roof top, that withers before it takes root

Then none who pass by will say,“May the Lord’s blessing be on you.”We bless you in the name of Yahweh.

But with You there is forgiveness,so that You may be revered.

May Your priests be clothed with righteousness,and may Your godly people shout for joy.

May the Lord,Maker of heaven and earth,bless you from Zion.

May the Lord be praised from Zion;He dwells in Jerusalem.Hallelujah!

How may we give the Lord's song in a strange land?

If I forget you, Jerusalem,may my right hand forget its skill.

May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouthif I do not remember you,if I do not exalt Jerusalem as my greatest joy!

Such knowledge is a wonder greater than my powers; it is so high that I may not come near it.

Where may I go from your spirit? how may I go in flight from you?

The men of pride have put secret cords for my feet; stretching nets in my way, so that they may take me with their tricks. (Selah.)

O Lord, give not the wrongdoer his desire; give him no help in his evil designs, or he may be uplifted in pride. (Selah.)

May those who surround me discover that the trouble they talk about falls on their own head!

May burning coals fall on them; may they be cast into fire, and into miry pits, never to rise again.

Let not the slanderer become established in the land. May evil quickly hunt down the violent man.

May my prayer be set before You as incense,the raising of my hands as the evening offering.

May the godly strike me in love and correct me! May my head not refuse choice oil! Indeed, my prayer is a witness against their evil deeds.

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

May I hear about your loyal love in the morning, for I trust in you. Show me the way I should go, because I long for you.

That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:

That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:

That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.

He has put them in their places for ever; he has given them their limits which may not be broken.

May Israel rejoice in its Maker, and Zion's descendants in their King!

May they praise his name with dancing, chanting songs to him with tambourines and lyres.

May those he loves be exalted, singing for joy on their couches.

May they praise God while they hold a two-edged sword in their hand,
