O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.

You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.

Blessed are those who keep His testimonies and seek Him with all their heart.

Their hearts are callous and insensitive, but I delight in Your law.

You reject all who stray from Your statutes, for their deceitfulness is in vain.

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.

…when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,

Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

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.

The plowmen plowed over my back; they made their furrows long.

If your sons keep My covenant and the testimony I will teach them, then their sons will also sit on your throne forever and ever.”

The LORD does all that pleases Him in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all their depths.

He gave their land as an inheritance, as a heritage to His people Israel.

…they have ears, but cannot hear; nor is there breath in their mouths.

…and He gave their land as an inheritance, His loving devotion endures forever.

How precious to me are Your thoughts, O God, how vast is their sum!

…who devise evil in their hearts and stir up war all day long.

They sharpen their tongues like snakes; the venom of vipers is on their lips. Selah

They sharpen their tongues like snakes; the venom of vipers is on their lips. Selah

The proud hide a snare for me; the cords of their net are spread along the path, and lures are set out for me. Selah

Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; do not promote their evil plans, lest they be exalted. Selah

May the heads of those who surround me be covered in the trouble their lips have caused.

Do not let my heart be drawn to any evil thing or take part in works of wickedness with men who do iniquity; let me not feast on their delicacies.

When their rulers are thrown down from the cliffs, the people will listen to my words, for they are pleasant.

Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety.

Then our sons will be like plants nurtured in their youth, our daughters like corner pillars carved to adorn a palace.

The eyes of all look to You, and You give them their food in season.

He fulfills the desires of those who fear Him; He hears their cry and saves them.

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.

Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.

Let the saints exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.

May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a double-edged sword in their hands,

May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a double-edged sword in their hands,

…to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with shackles of iron,

…to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with shackles of iron,

…my son, do not walk the road with them or set foot upon their path.

For their feet run to evil, and they are swift to shed blood.

But they lie in wait for their own blood; they ambush their own lives.

But they lie in wait for their own blood; they ambush their own lives.

“How long, O simple ones, will you love your simple ways? How long will scoffers delight in their scorn and fools hate knowledge?

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

…bestowing wealth on those who love me and making their treasuries full.

…calling out to those who pass by, who make their paths straight.

The righteousness of the blameless directs their path, but the wicked fall by their own wickedness.

The righteousness of the blameless directs their path, but the wicked fall by their own wickedness.

The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the faithless are trapped by their own desires.

The perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD, but the blameless in their walk are His delight.

If the righteous receive their due on earth, how much more the ungodly and the sinner!

The crown of the wise is their wealth, but the effort of fools is folly.

Whoever oppresses the poor taunts their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors Him.

He who mocks the poor insults their Maker; whoever gloats over calamity will not go unpunished.

The glory of young men is their strength, and gray hair is the splendor of the old.

…for the LORD will take up their case and will plunder those who rob them.

…for their Redeemer is strong; He will take up their case against you.

…for their Redeemer is strong; He will take up their case against you.

Do not envy wicked men or desire their company;

…for their hearts devise violence, and their lips declare trouble.

When the wicked thrive, rebellion increases; but the righteous will see their downfall.

The ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer;

…the rock badgers are creatures of little power, yet they make their homes in the rocks;

There are three things that are stately in their stride, and four that are impressive in their walk:

There are three things that are stately in their stride, and four that are impressive in their walk:

I sought to cheer my body with wine and to embrace folly—my mind still guiding me with wisdom—until I could see what was worthwhile for men to do under heaven during the few days of their lives.

Again I looked, and I considered all the oppression taking place under the sun. I saw the tears of the oppressed, and they had no comforter; the power lay in the hands of their oppressors, and there was no comforter.

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor.

Yet because the wicked do not fear God, it will not go well with them, and their days will not lengthen like a shadow.

So I took all this to heart and concluded that the righteous and the wise, as well as their deeds, are in God’s hands. Man does not know what lies ahead, whether love or hate.

Their love, their hate, and their envy have already vanished, and they will never again have a share in all that is done under the sun.

I encountered the watchmen on their rounds of the city: “Have you seen the one I love?”

I encountered the watchmen on their rounds of the city. They beat me and bruised me; they took away my cloak, those guardians of the walls.

Alas, O sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a brood of evildoers, children who act corruptly! They have forsaken the LORD; they have despised the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on Him.

Then He will judge between the nations and arbitrate for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer take up the sword against nation, nor train anymore for war.

Their land is full of silver and gold, with no limit to their treasures; their land is full of horses, with no limit to their chariots.

Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made.

Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made.

In that day men will cast away to the moles and bats their idols of silver and gold—the idols they made to worship.

“I will make mere lads their leaders, and children will rule over them.”

The expression on their faces testifies against them, and like Sodom they flaunt their sin; they do not conceal it. Woe to them, for they have brought disaster upon themselves.

Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their labor.

Woe to the wicked; disaster is upon them! For they will be repaid with what their hands have done.

The LORD also says: “Because the daughters of Zion are haughty—walking with heads held high and wanton eyes, prancing and skipping as they go, jingling the bracelets on their ankles—

…the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will make their foreheads bare.”
