They tear up my path; they profit from my destruction, with no one to restrain them.

Yet no one stretches out his hand against a ruined man when he cries for help in his distress.

Did not He who made me in the womb also make them? Did not the same One form us in the womb?

…if I have seen one perish for lack of clothing, or a needy man without a cloak,

(Oh, that I had one to hear me! Here is my signature. Let the Almighty answer me; let my accuser compose an indictment.

I paid you full attention. But no one proved Job wrong; not one of you rebutted his arguments.

I paid you full attention. But no one proved Job wrong; not one of you rebutted his arguments.

I will be partial to no one, nor will I flatter any man.

For God speaks in one way and in another, yet no one notices.

For God speaks in one way and in another, yet no one notices.

Yet if there is a messenger on his side, one mediator in a thousand, to tell a man what is right for him,

Could one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn the just and mighty One,

Could one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn the just and mighty One,

But no one asks, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives us songs in the night,

For truly my words are free of falsehood; one perfect in knowledge is with you.

Indeed, God is mighty, but He despises no one; He is mighty in strength of understanding.

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

Now no one can gaze at the sun when it is bright in the skies after the wind has swept them clean.

No one is so fierce as to rouse Leviathan. Then who is able to stand against Me?

One scale is so near to another that no air can pass between them.

They are joined to one another; they clasp and cannot be separated.

He leaves a glistening wake behind him; one would think the deep had white hair!

All his brothers and sisters and prior acquaintances came and dined with him in his house. They consoled him and comforted him over all the adversity that the LORD had brought upon him. And each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring.

The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together, against the LORD and against His Anointed One:

The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord taunts them.

But You, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head.

…or they will shred my soul like a lion and tear me to pieces with no one to rescue me.

If one does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has bent and strung His bow.

They lie to one another; they speak with flattering lips and a double heart.

For the choirmaster. Of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; their acts are vile. There is no one who does good.

All have turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

All have turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.

They cried for help, but there was no one to save them—to the LORD, but He did not answer.

…it rises at one end of the heavens and runs its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.

Be not far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help.

One thing I have asked of the LORD; this is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and seek Him in His temple.

He protects all his bones; not one of them will be broken.

I paced about as for my friend or brother; I was bowed down with grief, like one mourning for his mother.

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Blessed is the one who cares for the poor; the LORD will deliver him in the day of trouble.

Even my close friend whom I trusted, the one who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

A Psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from where the sun rises to where it sets.

Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you to pieces, with no one to rescue you:

For the choirmaster. According to Mahalath. A Maskil of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; their ways are vile. There is no one who does good.

All have turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

All have turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

God will hear and humiliate them—the One enthroned for the ages—Selah because they do not change and they have no fear of God.

Blessed is the one You choose and bring near to dwell in Your courts! We are filled with the goodness of Your house, the holiness of Your temple.

…the earth shook and the heavens poured down rain before God, the One on Sinai, before God, the God of Israel.

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.

May their place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in their tents.

For they persecute the one You struck and recount the pain of those You wounded.

…saying, “God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for there is no one to rescue him.”

So I will praise You with the harp for Your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praise to You with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.

Like one waking from a dream, so You, O Lord, awaken and despise their form.

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

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

Again and again they tested God and provoked the Holy One of Israel.

They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury the dead.

For with one mind they plot together; they form an alliance against You—

For better is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.

“I will mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me—along with Philistia, Tyre, and Cush—when I say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”

And it will be said of Zion: “This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High Himself will establish her.”

And it will be said of Zion: “This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High Himself will establish her.”

The LORD will record in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.” Selah

You said, “I have made a covenant with My chosen one, I have sworn to David My servant:

Surely our shield belongs to the LORD, and our king to the Holy One of Israel.

You once spoke in a vision; to Your godly ones You said, “I have bestowed help on a warrior; I have exalted one chosen from the people.

Now, however, You have spurned and rejected him; You are enraged by Your anointed one.

…how Your enemies have taunted, O LORD, and have mocked every step of Your anointed one!

Can a corrupt throne be Your ally—one devising mischief by decree?

Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; the one with haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not endure.

No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who tells lies shall stand in my presence.

No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who tells lies shall stand in my presence.

A prayer of one who is afflicted, when he grows faint and pours out his lament before the LORD. Hear my prayer, O LORD; let my cry for help come before You.

…they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.

The waters covered their foes; not one of them remained.

In the camp they envied Moses, as well as Aaron, the holy one of the LORD.

So He said He would destroy them—had not Moses His chosen one stood before Him in the breach to divert His wrath from destroying them.

He humbled their hearts with hard labor; they stumbled, and there was no one to help.

May there be no one to extend kindness to him, and no one to favor his fatherless children.

May there be no one to extend kindness to him, and no one to favor his fatherless children.

For He stands at the right hand of the needy one, to save him from the condemners of his soul.

Who is like the LORD our God, the One enthroned on high?

I rejoice in Your promise like one who finds great spoil.

A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to You, the One enthroned in heaven.

…how he swore an oath to the LORD, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

…until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

For the sake of Your servant David, do not reject Your anointed one.

The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise He will not revoke: “One of your descendants I will place on your throne.

There I will make a horn grow for David; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.

Your eyes saw my unformed body; all my days were written in Your book and ordained for me before one of them came to be.

As when one plows and breaks up the soil, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol.

Look to my right and see; no one attends to me. There is no refuge for me; no one cares for my soul.

Look to my right and see; no one attends to me. There is no refuge for me; no one cares for my soul.

Do not bring Your servant into judgment, for no one alive is righteous before You.

One generation will commend Your works to the next, and will proclaim Your mighty acts—

Throw in your lot with us; let us all share one purse”—

Because you refused my call, and no one took my outstretched hand,

…for the LORD disciplines the one He loves, as does a father the son in whom he delights.
