So

…from such men, O LORD, by Your hand—from men of the world whose portion is in this life. May You fill the bellies of Your treasured ones and satisfy their sons, so they leave their abundance to their children.

I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.

So the LORD has repaid me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.

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

I crushed them so they could not rise; they have fallen under my feet.

For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Doe of the Dawn.” A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Why are You so far from saving me, so far from my words of groaning?

For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Doe of the Dawn.” A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Why are You so far from saving me, so far from my words of groaning?

Of David, when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, so that the king drove him away. I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise will always be on my lips.

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

For the choirmaster. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. I said, “I will watch my ways so that I will not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle as long as the wicked are present.”

For evils without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed within me.

For the choirmaster. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul longs after You, O God.

As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of the LORD of Hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish her forever. Selah

Against You, You only, have I sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You may be proved right when You speak and blameless when You judge.

Consume them in wrath; consume them till they are no more, so it may be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob. Selah

So I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory.

So I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift my hands.

Then all mankind will fear and proclaim the work of God; so they will ponder what He has done.

Say to God, “How awesome are Your deeds! So great is Your power that Your enemies cower before You.

May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.

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.

So their people return to this place and drink up waters in abundance.

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

So I said, “I am grieved that the right hand of the Most High has changed.”

Your way, O God, is holy. What god is so great as our God?

Therefore the LORD heard and was filled with wrath; so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and His anger flared against Israel,

So they ate and were well filled, for He gave them what they craved.

So He ended their days in futility, and their years in sudden terror.

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

So David shepherded them with integrity of heart and guided them with skillful hands.

Why have You broken down its walls, so that all who pass by pick its fruit?

So I gave them up to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.

…so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them with Your storm.

Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants, which I bear in my heart from so many people—

So teach us to number our days, that we may present a heart of wisdom.

They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

So I swore on oath in My anger, “They shall never enter My rest.”

So the nations will fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth will fear Your glory.

Let this be written for the generation to come, so that a people not yet created may praise the LORD.

…who satisfies you with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His loving devotion for those who fear Him.

As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.

As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.

So He granted their request, but sent a wasting disease upon them.

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.

So He raised His hand and swore to cast them down in the wilderness,

So they provoked the LORD to anger with their deeds, and a plague broke out among them.

So the anger of the LORD burned against His people, and He abhorred His own inheritance.

Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy

I was pushed so hard I was falling, but the LORD helped me.

As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are on the LORD our God until He shows us mercy.

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds His people, both now and forevermore.

For the scepter of the wicked will not rest upon the land allotted to the righteous, so that the righteous will not put forth their hands to injustice.

Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are children born in one’s youth.

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

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

Blessed are the people of whom this is so; blessed are the people whose God is the LORD.

So they will eat the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

So you will follow in the ways of the good, and keep to the paths of the righteous.

Wisdom is supreme; so acquire wisdom. And whatever you may acquire, gain understanding.

So now, my sons, listen to me, and do not turn aside from the words of my mouth.

So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished.

He who commits adultery lacks judgment; whoever does so destroys himself.

So I came out to meet you; I sought you, and I have found you.

…when He set a boundary for the sea, so that the waters would not surpass His command, when He marked out the foundations of the earth.

Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, so is the slacker to those who send him.

The lips of the wise spread knowledge, but not so the hearts of fools.

To start a quarrel is to release a flood; so abandon the dispute before it breaks out.

A man of great anger must pay the penalty; if you rescue him, you will have to do so again.

A man’s steps are from the LORD, so how can anyone understand his own way?

The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable—how much more so when brought with ill intent!

So that your trust may be in the LORD, I instruct you today—yes, you.

As the heavens are high and the earth is deep, so the hearts of kings cannot be searched.

For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you.

As the north wind brings forth rain, so a backbiting tongue brings angry looks.

As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly.

As a door turns on its hinges, so the slacker turns on his bed.

…so is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “I was only joking!”

Like charcoal for embers and wood for fire, so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife.

Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart, so that I can answer him who taunts me.

As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.

As water reflects the face, so the heart reflects the true man.

Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

For as the churning of milk yields butter, and the twisting of the nose draws blood, so the stirring of anger brings forth strife.”

So I set my mind to know wisdom and madness and folly; I learned that this, too, is a pursuit of the wind.

So I became great and surpassed all in Jerusalem who had preceded me; and my wisdom remained with me.

So I said to myself, “The fate of the fool will also befall me. What then have I gained by being wise?” And I said to myself that this too is futile.

So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. For everything is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

So my heart began to despair over all the labor that I had done under the sun.

I know that everything God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it or taken from it. God does it so that they should fear Him.

I said to myself, “As for the sons of men, God tests them so that they may see for themselves that they are but beasts.”

For the fates of both men and beasts are the same: As one dies, so dies the other—they all have the same breath. Man has no advantage over the animals, since everything is futile.

So I admired the dead, who had already died, above the living, who are still alive.

Do not be quick to speak, and do not be hasty in your heart to utter a word before God. For God is in heaven and you are on earth. So let your words be few.

As a dream comes through many cares, so the speech of a fool comes with many words.

For as many dreams bring futility, so do many words. Therefore, fear God.

When good things increase, so do those who consume them; what then is the profit to the owner, except to behold them with his eyes?

…or wealth lost in a failed venture, so when that man has a son there is nothing to pass on.

As a man came from his mother’s womb, so he will depart again, naked as he arrived. He takes nothing for his labor to carry in his hands.

This too is a grievous affliction: Exactly as a man is born, so he will depart. What does he gain as he toils for the wind?
