Even

My soul longs, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she places her young near Your altars, O LORD of Hosts, my King and my God.

As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; even the autumn rain covers it with pools.

…they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even clear their throats.

I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes, even to the very end.

Therefore I love Your commandments more than gold, even the purest gold.

Even before a word is on my tongue, You know all about it, O LORD.

…even there Your hand will guide me; Your right hand will hold me fast.

…even the darkness is not dark to You, but the night shines like the day, for darkness is as light to You.

One gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds what is right, only to become poor.

Even in laughter the heart may ache, and joy may end in sorrow.

The poor man is hated even by his neighbor, but many are those who love the rich.

Indeed, all his days are filled with grief, and his task is sorrowful; even at night, his mind does not rest. This too is futile.

There is a man all alone, without even a son or brother. And though there is no end to his labor, his eyes are still not content with his wealth: “For whom do I toil and bereave my soul of enjoyment?” This too is futile—a miserable task.

There is no limit to all the people who were before them. Yet the successor will not be celebrated by those who come even later. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

A man may father a hundred children and live for many years; yet no matter how long he lives, if he is unsatisfied with his prosperity and does not even receive a proper burial, I say that a stillborn child is better off than he.

…even if he lives a thousand years twice over but fails to enjoy his prosperity. Do not all go to the same place?

When I applied my mind to know wisdom and to observe the task that one performs on the earth—though his eyes do not see sleep in the day or even in the night—

Even if He causes grief, He will show compassion according to His abundant loving devotion.
