Up

He will drink from the brook by the road; therefore He will lift up His head.

I lift up my hands to Your commandments, which I love, and I meditate on Your statutes.

Though I am like a wineskin dried up by smoke, I do not forget Your statutes.

A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?

Jerusalem is built up as a city united together,

…where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

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

In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for bread to eat—for He gives sleep to His beloved.

Lift up your hands to the sanctuary and bless the LORD!

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

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

Let me hear Your loving devotion in the morning, for I have put my trust in You. Teach me the way I should walk, for to You I lift up my soul.

The LORD upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.

The LORD builds up Jerusalem; He gathers the exiles of Israel.

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

He has raised up a horn for His people, the praise of all His saints, of Israel, a people near to Him. Hallelujah!

He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk with integrity,

The wise will inherit honor, but fools are held up to shame.

My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, if you have struck hands in pledge with a stranger,

How long will you lie there, O slacker? When will you get up from your sleep?

…a false witness who gives false testimony, and one who stirs up discord among brothers.

Yet if caught, he must pay sevenfold; he must give up all the wealth of his house.

Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers all transgressions.

The wise store up knowledge, but the mouth of the fool invites destruction.

By the blessing of the upright a city is built up, but by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down.

He who puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer, but the one who hates indebtedness is secure.

Anxiety weighs down the heart of a man, but a good word cheers it up.

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger calms dispute.

A worthless man digs up evil, and his speech is like a scorching fire.

Whoever conceals an offense promotes love, but he who brings it up separates friends.

A man lacking judgment strikes hands in pledge and puts up security for his neighbor.

A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.

Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.

Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline drives it far from him.

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

Do not be one who gives pledges, who puts up security for debts.

You will vomit up what little you have eaten and waste your pleasant words.

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

“They struck me, but I feel no pain! They beat me, but I did not know it! When can I wake up to search for another drink?”

For though a righteous man may fall seven times, he still gets up; but the wicked stumble in bad times.

Thorns had grown up everywhere, thistles had covered the ground, and the stone wall was broken down.

…for it is better to be told, “Come up here!” than to be demoted in the presence of the prince. Even what you have seen with your own eyes,

If you find honey, eat just what you need, lest you have too much and vomit it up.

A hateful man disguises himself with his speech, but he lays up deceit in his heart.

He who increases his wealth by interest and usury lays it up for one who is kind to the poor.

A greedy man stirs up strife, but he who trusts in the LORD will prosper.

An angry man stirs up dissension, and a hot-tempered man abounds in transgression.

Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in His hands? Who has bound up the waters in His cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is the name of His Son—surely you know!

Under three things the earth trembles, under four it cannot bear up:

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

Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband praises her as well:

For if one falls down, his companion can lift him up; but pity the one who falls without another to help him up!

For if one falls down, his companion can lift him up; but pity the one who falls without another to help him up!

Who is this coming up from the wilderness like a column of smoke, scented with myrrh and frankincense from all the spices of the merchant?

Your teeth are like a flock of newly shorn sheep coming up from the washing; each has its twin, and not one of them is lost.

My sister, my bride, you are a garden locked up, a spring enclosed, a fountain sealed.

I rose up to open for my beloved. My hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with flowing myrrh on the handles of the bolt.

Your teeth are like a flock of sheep coming up from the washing; each has its twin, and not one of them is lost.

The mandrakes send forth a fragrance, and at our door is every delicacy, new as well as old, that I have treasured up for you, my beloved.

Who is this coming up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved? I roused you under the apple tree; there your mother conceived you; there she travailed and brought you forth.

Listen, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, for the LORD has spoken: “I have raised children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against Me.

And many peoples will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

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.

…against all the cedars of Lebanon, lofty and lifted up, against all the oaks of Bashan,

The people will oppress one another, man against man, neighbor against neighbor; the young will rise up against the old, and the base against the honorable.

He dug it up and cleared the stones and planted the finest vines. He built a watchtower in the middle and dug out a winepress as well. He waited for the vineyard to yield good grapes, but the fruit it produced was sour!

I will make it a wasteland, neither pruned nor cultivated, and thorns and briers will grow up. I will command the clouds that rain shall not fall on it.”

Now in the days that Ahaz son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, was king of Judah, Rezin king of Aram marched up to wage war against Jerusalem. He was accompanied by Pekah son of Remaliah the king of Israel, but he could not overpower the city.

It will pour into Judah, swirling and sweeping over it, reaching up to the neck; its spreading streams will cover your entire land, O Immanuel!

Bind up the testimony and seal the law among my disciples.

The LORD has raised up the foes of Rezin against him and joined his enemies together.

For those who guide this people mislead them, and those they mislead are swallowed up.

Then a shoot will spring up from the stump of Jesse, and a Branch from his roots will bear fruit.

There will be a highway for the remnant of His people who remain from Assyria, as there was for Israel when they came up from the land of Egypt.

Behold, I will stir up against them the Medes, who have no regard for silver and no desire for gold.

Prepare a place to slaughter his sons for the iniquities of their forefathers. They will never rise up to possess a land or cover the earth with their cities.

“I will rise up against them,” declares the LORD of Hosts. “I will cut off from Babylon her name and her remnant, her offspring and her posterity,” declares the LORD.

Dibon goes up to its temple to weep at its high places. Moab wails over Nebo, as well as over Medeba. Every head is shaved, every beard is cut off.

The waters of Nimrim are dried up, and the grass is withered; the vegetation is gone, and the greenery is no more.

The waters of the Nile will dry up, and the riverbed will be parched and empty.

The canals will stink; the streams of Egypt will trickle and dry up; the reeds and rushes will wither.

A dire vision is declared to me: “The traitor still betrays, and the destroyer still destroys. Go up, O Elam! Lay siege, O Media! I will put an end to all her groaning.”

They prepare a table, they lay out a carpet, they eat, they drink! Rise up, O princes, oil the shields!

This is the burden against the Valley of Vision: What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the rooftops,

Elam takes up a quiver, with chariots and horsemen, and Kir uncovers the shield.

Be ashamed, O Sidon, the stronghold of the sea, for the sea has spoken: “I have not been in labor or given birth. I have not raised young men or brought up young women.”

He said, “You shall rejoice no more, O oppressed Virgin Daughter of Sidon. Get up and cross over to Cyprus—even there you will find no rest.”

Look at the land of the Chaldeans—a people now of no account. The Assyrians destined it for the desert creatures; they set up their siege towers and stripped its palaces. They brought it to ruin.

“Take up your harp, stroll through the city, O forgotten harlot. Make sweet melody, sing many a song, so you will be remembered.”

The new wine dries up, the vine withers. All the merrymakers now groan.

On this mountain He will swallow up the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations;

He will swallow up death forever. The Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from every face and remove the disgrace of His people from the whole earth. For the LORD has spoken.

For the LORD will rise up as at Mount Perazim. He will rouse Himself as in the Valley of Gibeon, to do His work, His strange work, and to perform His task, His disturbing task.

I will camp in a circle around you; I will besiege you with towers and set up siege works against you.

“Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the LORD, “to those who carry out a plan that is not Mine, who form an alliance, but against My will, heaping up sin upon sin.

The light of the moon will be as bright as the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter—like the light of seven days—on the day that the LORD binds up the brokenness of His people and heals the wounds He has inflicted.

You will sing as on the night of a holy festival, and your heart will rejoice like one who walks to the music of a flute, going up to the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.

Yet He too is wise and brings disaster; He does not call back His words. He will rise up against the house of the wicked and against the allies of evildoers.

But a noble man makes honorable plans; he stands up for worthy causes.
