I chose their course and presided as chief. So I dwelt as a king among his troops, as a comforter of the mourners.

What use to me was the strength of their hands, since their vigor had left them?

They plucked mallow among the shrubs, and the roots of the broom tree were their food.

In a dream, in a vision in the night, when deep sleep falls upon men as they slumber on their beds,

He opens their ears and terrifies them with warnings

He shatters the mighty without inquiry and sets up others in their place.

Therefore, He recognizes their deeds; He overthrows them in the night and they are crushed.

He strikes them for their wickedness in full view,

…then He tells them their deeds and how arrogantly they have transgressed.

He opens their ears to correction and commands that they turn from iniquity.

If they obey and serve Him, then they end their days in prosperity and their years in happiness.

If they obey and serve Him, then they end their days in prosperity and their years in happiness.

They die in their youth, among the male shrine prostitutes.

God rescues the afflicted by their affliction and opens their ears in oppression.

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

The wild animals enter their lairs; they settle down in their dens.

The wild animals enter their lairs; they settle down in their dens.

Light is withheld from the wicked, and their upraised arm is broken.

Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons or lead out the Bear and her cubs?

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’?

…when they crouch in their dens and lie in wait in the thicket?

They crouch down and bring forth their young; they deliver their newborn.

They crouch down and bring forth their young; they deliver their newborn.

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

The hills yield him their produce, while all the beasts of the field play nearby.

The lotus plants conceal him in their shade; the willows of the brook surround him.

No women as beautiful as Job’s daughters could be found in all the land, and their father granted them an inheritance among their brothers.

After this, Job lived 140 years and saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.

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

“Let us break Their chains and cast away Their cords.”

“Let us break Their chains and cast away Their cords.”

For not a word they speak can be trusted; destruction lies within them. Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.

For not a word they speak can be trusted; destruction lies within them. Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.

Declare them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own devices. Drive them out for their many transgressions, for they have rebelled against You.

Declare them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own devices. Drive them out for their many transgressions, for they have rebelled against You.

You have rebuked the nations; You have destroyed the wicked; You have erased their name forever and ever.

The enemy has come to eternal ruin, and You have uprooted their cities; the very memory of them has vanished.

The nations have fallen into a pit of their making; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.

The nations have fallen into a pit of their making; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.

The LORD is known by the justice He brings; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. Higgaion Selah

You have heard, O LORD, the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their hearts. You will incline Your ear,

For behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrow on the string to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.

For behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrow on the string to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.

On the wicked He will rain down fiery coals and sulfur; a scorching wind will be their portion.

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.

You sinners frustrate the plans of the oppressed, yet the LORD is their shelter.

Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with my lips.

Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with my lips.

Show the wonders of Your loving devotion, You who save by Your right hand those who seek refuge from their foes.

They have closed their callous hearts; their mouths speak with arrogance.

They have closed their callous hearts; their mouths speak with arrogance.

They have tracked us down, and now surround us; their eyes are set to cast us to the ground,

Arise, O LORD, confront them! Bring them to their knees; deliver me from the wicked by Your sword,

…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.

Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their strongholds.

…their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens He has pitched a tent for the sun.

You will wipe their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from the sons of men.

All who see me mock me; they sneer and shake their heads:

They open their jaws against me like lions that roar and maul.

All the rich of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before Him—even those unable to preserve their lives.

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.

Repay them according to their deeds and for their works of evil. Repay them for what their hands have done; bring back on them what they deserve.

He shapes the hearts of each; He considers all their works.

Those who look to Him are radiant with joy; their faces shall never be ashamed.

The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are inclined to their cry.

The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears; He delivers them from all their troubles.

May their path be dark and slick, as the angel of the LORD pursues.

For without cause they laid their net for me; without reason they dug a pit for my soul.

Like godless jesters at a feast, they gnashed their teeth at me.

How long, O Lord, will You look on? Rescue my soul from their ravages, my precious life from these lions.

Let them not say in their hearts, “Aha, just what we wanted!” Let them not say, “We have swallowed him up!”

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.

The wicked scheme against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them,

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

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

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

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

The LORD knows the days of the blameless, and their inheritance will last forever.

I once was young and now am old, yet never have I seen the righteous abandoned or their children begging for bread.

They are ever generous and quick to lend, and their children are a blessing.

…the LORD will not leave them in their power or let them be condemned under judgment.

The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; He is their stronghold in time of trouble.

He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.

May those who say to me, “Aha, aha!” be appalled at their own shame.

For the choirmaster. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us the work You did in their days, in the days of old.

For it was not by their sword that they took the land; their arm did not bring them victory. It was by Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your face, because You favored them.

For it was not by their sword that they took the land; their arm did not bring them victory. It was by Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your face, because You favored them.

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

…though their waters roar and foam and the mountains quake in the surge. Selah
