But

But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by men and despised by the people.

But You, O LORD, be not far off; O my Strength, come quickly to help me.

For He has not despised or detested the torment of the afflicted. He has not hidden His face from him, but has attended to his cry for help.

Surely none who wait for You will be put to shame; but those who engage in treachery without cause will be disgraced.

But I will walk with integrity; redeem me and be merciful to me.

For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning.

For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning.

I hate those who cling to worthless idols, but in the LORD I trust.

But I trust in You, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.”

In my alarm I said, “I am cut off from Your sight!” But You heard my plea for mercy when I called to You for help.

Love the LORD, all His saints. The LORD preserves the faithful, but fully repays the arrogant.

Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but loving devotion surrounds him who trusts in the LORD.

Young lions go lacking and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.

But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to wipe out all memory of them from the earth.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him from them all.

Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth; I humbled myself with fasting, but my prayers returned unanswered.

But when I stumbled, they assembled in glee; they gathered together against me. Assailants I did not know slandered me without ceasing.

For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful schemes against those who live quietly in the land.

For the evildoers will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.

But the meek will inherit the land and delight in abundant prosperity.

…but the Lord laughs, seeing that their day is coming.

But their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.

For the arms of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.

But the wicked and enemies of the LORD will perish like the glory of the fields. They will vanish; like smoke they will fade away.

The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous are gracious and giving.

Surely those He blesses will inherit the land, but the cursed will be destroyed.

For the LORD loves justice and will not forsake His saints. They are preserved forever, but the offspring of the wicked will be cut off.

But the transgressors will all be destroyed; the future of the wicked will be cut off.

But like a deaf man, I do not hear; and like a mute man, I do not open my mouth.

You, indeed, have made my days as handbreadths, and my lifetime as nothing before You. Truly each man at his best exists as but a breath. Selah

You discipline and correct a man for his iniquity, consuming like a moth what he holds dear; surely each man is but a vapor. Selah

Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but my ears You have opened. Burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not require.

But I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my helper and deliverer; O my God, do not delay.

But You, O LORD, be gracious to me and raise me up, that I may repay them.

But You have rejected and humbled us; You no longer go forth with our armies.

But You have crushed us in the lair of jackals; You have covered us with deepest darkness.

But a man, despite his wealth, cannot endure; he is like the beasts that perish.

But God will redeem my life from Sheol, for He will surely take me to Himself. Selah

You have done these things, and I kept silent; you thought I was just like you. But now I rebuke you and accuse you to your face.

“Look at the man who did not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his wealth and strengthened himself by destruction.”

But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in the loving devotion of God forever and ever.

But it is you, a man like myself, my companion and close friend.

But I call to God, and the LORD saves me.

His speech is smooth as butter, but war is in his heart. His words are softer than oil, yet they are swords unsheathed.

But You, O God, will bring them down to the Pit of destruction; men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.

But You, O God, will bring them down to the Pit of destruction; men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.

They spread a net for my feet; my soul was despondent. They dug a pit before me, but they themselves have fallen into it! Selah

But You, O LORD, laugh at them; You scoff at all the nations.

But I will sing of Your strength and proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning. For You are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.

They fully intend to cast him down from his lofty perch; they delight in lies; with their mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse. Selah

Lowborn men are but a vapor; the exalted are but a lie. Weighed on the scale, they go up; together they are but a vapor.

Lowborn men are but a vapor; the exalted are but a lie. Weighed on the scale, they go up; together they are but a vapor.

Lowborn men are but a vapor; the exalted are but a lie. Weighed on the scale, they go up; together they are but a vapor.

But those who seek my life to destroy it will go into the depths of the earth.

But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by Him will exult, for the mouths of liars will be shut.

But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be wounded.

You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but You brought us into abundance.

But God has surely heard; He has attended to the sound of my prayer.

But the righteous will be glad and rejoice before God; they will celebrate with joy.

God settles the lonely in families; He leads the prisoners out to prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.

I wept and fasted, but it brought me reproach.

But my prayer to You, O LORD, is for a time of favor. In Your abundant loving devotion, O God, answer me with Your sure salvation.

Insults have broken my heart, and I am in despair. I looked for sympathy, but there was none, for comforters, but I found no one.

Insults have broken my heart, and I am in despair. I looked for sympathy, but there was none, for comforters, but I found no one.

But I am in pain and distress; let Your salvation protect me, O God.

But I am poor and needy; hurry to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.

I have become a portent to many, but You are my strong refuge.

But I will always hope and will praise You more and more.

But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; my steps had nearly slipped.

Whom have I in heaven but You? And on earth I desire no one besides You.

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

But as for me, it is good to draw near to God. I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may proclaim all Your works.

…but it is God who judges; He brings down one and exalts another.

But I will proclaim Him forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.

“All the horns of the wicked I will cut off, but the horns of the righteous will be exalted.”

Your path led through the sea, Your way through the mighty waters, but Your footprints were not to be found.

We will not hide them from their children but will declare to the next generation the praises of the LORD and His might and the wonders He has performed.

…that they should put their confidence in God, not forgetting His works, but keeping His commandments.

But they continued to sin against Him, rebelling in the desert against the Most High.

When He struck the rock, water gushed out and torrents raged. But can He also give bread or supply His people with meat?”

But they deceived Him with their mouths, and lied to Him with their tongues.

He remembered that they were but flesh, a passing breeze that does not return.

He cleared a path for His anger; He did not spare them from death but delivered their lives to the plague.

He led them safely, so they did not fear, but the sea engulfed their enemies.

But they tested and disobeyed God Most High, for they did not keep His decrees.

His priests fell by the sword, but their widows could not lament.

But He chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which He loved.

But My people would not listen to Me, and Israel would not obey Me.

But I would feed you the finest wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”

But like mortals you will die, and like rulers you will fall.”

But You, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness.

But to You, O LORD, I cry for help; in the morning my prayer comes before You.

But I will not withdraw My loving devotion from him, nor ever betray My faithfulness.

For in Your sight a thousand years are but a day that passes, or a watch of the night.

…in the morning it springs up new, but by evening it fades and withers.

The length of our days is seventy years—or eighty if we are strong—yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.

But You, O LORD, are exalted forever!

But You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; with fine oil I have been anointed.

But the LORD has been my stronghold, and my God is my rock of refuge.

For all the gods of the nations are idols, but it is the LORD who made the heavens.
