Do

Do You open Your eyes to one like this? Will You bring him into judgment before You?

Do you listen in on the council of God or limit wisdom to yourself?

What do you know that we do not? What do you understand that is not clear to us?

What do you know that we do not? What do you understand that is not clear to us?

What do you know that we do not? What do you understand that is not clear to us?

Why has your heart carried you away, and why do your eyes flash,

O earth, do not cover my blood; may my cry for help never be laid to rest.

Why do you persecute me as God does? Will you never get enough of my flesh?

Do you not know that from antiquity, since man was placed on the earth,

Why do the wicked live on, growing old and increasing in power?

Their bulls breed without fail; their cows bear calves and do not miscarry.

Have you never asked those who travel the roads? Do you not accept their reports?

They said to God, ‘Depart from us. What can the Almighty do to us?’

He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight.

Surely all of you have seen it for yourselves. Why then do you keep up this empty talk?

He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more; when he opens his eyes, all is gone.

They abhor me and keep far from me; they do not hesitate to spit in my face.

I cry out to You for help, but You do not answer; when I stand up, You merely look at me.

…what will I do when God rises to judge? How will I answer when called to account?

So do not claim, ‘We have found wisdom; let God, not man, refute him.’

For I do not know how to flatter, or my Maker would remove me in an instant.

Why do you complain to Him that He answers nothing a man asks?

Therefore listen to me, O men of understanding. Far be it from God to do wrong, and from the Almighty to act unjustly.

Teach me what I cannot see; if I have done wrong, I will not do it again.’

“Do you think this is just? You say, ‘I am more righteous than God.’

For you ask, ‘What does it profit me, and what benefit do I gain apart from sin?’

If you sin, what do you accomplish against Him? If you multiply your transgressions, what do you do to Him?

If you sin, what do you accomplish against Him? If you multiply your transgressions, what do you do to Him?

If you sin, what do you accomplish against Him? If you multiply your transgressions, what do you do to Him?

If you are righteous, what do you give Him, or what does He receive from your hand?

How much less, then, when you say that you do not see Him, that your case is before Him and you must wait for Him,

But if they do not obey, then they perish by the sword and die without knowledge.

The godless in heart harbor resentment; even when He binds them, they do not cry for help.

Be careful that no one lures you with riches; do not let a large bribe lead you astray.

Do not long for the night, when people vanish from their homes.

Do you know how God dispatches the clouds or makes the lightning flash?

Do you understand how the clouds float, those wonders of Him who is perfect in knowledge?

Where is the way to the home of light? Do you know where darkness resides,

…so you can lead it back to its border? Do you know the paths to its home?

Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you set their dominion over the earth?

Can you send the lightning bolts on their way? Do they report to you, ‘Here we are’?

“Do you know when mountain goats give birth? Have you watched the doe bear her fawn?

Can you count the months they are pregnant? Do you know the time they give birth?

Their young ones thrive and grow up in the open field; they leave and do not return.

Do you give strength to the horse or adorn his neck with a mane?

Do you make him leap like a locust, striking terror with his proud snorting?

Do you have an arm like God’s? Can you thunder with a voice like His?

“I know that You can do all things and that no plan of Yours can be thwarted.

Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?

Be angry, yet do not sin; on your bed, search your heart and be still. Selah

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments, according to Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath.

Rise up, O LORD, do not let man prevail; let the nations be judged in Your presence.

Why, O LORD, do You stand far off? Why do You hide in times of trouble?

Why, O LORD, do You stand far off? Why do You hide in times of trouble?

Arise, O LORD! Lift up Your hand, O God! Do not forget the helpless.

If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”

You broaden the path beneath me so that my ankles do not give way.

I cry out by day, O my God, but You do not answer, and by night, but I have no rest.

…in You, my God, I trust. Do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies exult over me.

…in You, my God, I trust. Do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies exult over me.

I do not sit with deceitful men, nor keep company with hypocrites.

Do not take my soul away with sinners, or my life with men of bloodshed,

Hide not Your face from me, nor turn away Your servant in anger. You have been my helper; do not leave me or forsake me, O God of my salvation.

Do not hand me over to the will of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence.

Do not drag me away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors while malice is in their hearts.

Do not be like the horse or mule, which have no understanding; they must be controlled with bit and bridle to make them come to you.

Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

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

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

Vindicate me by Your righteousness, O LORD my God, and do not let them gloat over me.

Of David. Do not fret over those who do evil; do not envy those who do wrong.

Of David. Do not fret over those who do evil; do not envy those who do wrong.

Of David. Do not fret over those who do evil; do not envy those who do wrong.

Of David. Do not fret over those who do evil; do not envy those who do wrong.

Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.

Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him, and He will do it.

Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for Him; do not fret when men prosper in their ways, when they carry out wicked schemes.

Refrain from anger and abandon wrath; do not fret—it can only bring harm.

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

Turn away from evil and do good, so that you will abide forever.

The law of his God is in his heart; his steps do not falter.

A Psalm of David, for remembrance. O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath.

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

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

Do not forsake me, O LORD; be not far from me, O my God.

And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in You.

Deliver me from all my transgressions; do not make me the reproach of fools.

I have become mute; I do not open my mouth because of what You have done.

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry for help; do not be deaf to my weeping. For I am a foreigner dwelling with You, a stranger like all my fathers.

I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart.”

I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; behold, I do not seal my lips, as You, O LORD, do know.

I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; behold, I do not seal my lips, as You, O LORD, do know.

O LORD, do not withhold Your mercy from me; Your loving devotion and faithfulness will always guard me.

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

For I do not trust in my bow, nor does my sword save me.

You sell Your people for nothing; no profit do You gain from their sale.

Wake up, O Lord! Why are You sleeping? Arise! Do not reject us forever.

Why do You hide Your face and forget our affliction and oppression?

Do not be afraid when a man grows rich, when the splendor of his house increases.

I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices, and your burnt offerings are ever before Me.
