…all flesh would perish together and mankind would return to the dust.

But when He remains silent, who can condemn Him? When He hides His face, who can see Him? Yet He watches over both man and nation,

…while the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Bury them together in the dust; imprison them in the grave.

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

I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.

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

The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever; the judgments of the LORD are true, being altogether righteous.

For I hear the slander of many; there is terror on every side. They conspire against me and plot to take my life.

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

Magnify the LORD with me; let us exalt His name together.

May those who gloat in my distress be ashamed and confounded; may those who exalt themselves over me be clothed in shame and reproach.

But the transgressors will all be destroyed; the future of the wicked will be cut off.

May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.

All who hate me whisper against me; they imagine the worst for me:

For behold, the kings assembled; they all advanced together.

…both low and high, rich and poor alike.

For it is clear that wise men die, and the foolish and the senseless both perish and leave their wealth to others.

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

We shared sweet fellowship together; we walked with the crowd into the house of God.

Lowborn men are but a vapor; the exalted are but a lie. Weighed on the scale, they go up; together they are but a vapor.

For my enemies speak against me, and those who lie in wait for my life conspire,

…and smashing all the carvings with hatchets and picks.

They said in their hearts, “We will crush them completely.” They burned down every place where God met us in the land.

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

All day long they engulf me like water; they enclose me on every side.

Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing together for joy

…when peoples and kingdoms assemble to serve the LORD.

Jerusalem is built up as a city united together,

A song of ascents. Of David. Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!

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

…for it is pleasing when you keep them within you and they are constantly on your lips.

But rebels and sinners will together be shattered, and those who forsake the LORD will perish.

The strong man will become tinder and his work will be a spark; both will burn together, with no one to quench the flames.

Manasseh devours Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh; together they turn against Judah. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.

“Are not all my commanders kings?” he says.

The wolf will live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the goat; the calf and young lion and fatling will be together, and a little child will lead them.

The cow will graze with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox.

They will swoop down on the slopes of the Philistines to the west; together they will plunder the sons of the east. They will lay their hands on Edom and Moab, and the Ammonites will be subject to them.

They will all be left to the mountain birds of prey, and to the beasts of the land. The birds will feed on them in summer, and all the wild animals in winter.

All your rulers have fled together, captured without a bow. All your fugitives were captured together, having fled to a distant place.

I am not angry. If only thorns and briers confronted Me, I would march and trample them, I would burn them to the ground.

But the Egyptians are men, not God; their horses are flesh, not spirit. When the LORD stretches out His hand, the helper will stumble, and the one he helps will fall; both will perish together.

And the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all humanity together will see it.” For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

“Be silent before Me, O islands, and let the peoples renew their strength. Let them come forward and testify; let us together draw near for judgment.

I will plant cedars in the wilderness, acacias, myrtles, and olive trees. I will set cypresses in the desert, elms and boxwood together,

…so that all may see and know, may consider and understand, that the hand of the LORD has done this and the Holy One of Israel has created it.”

Tell us the things that are to come, so that we may know that you are gods. Yes, do something good or evil, that we may look on together in dismay.

“I have kept silent from ages past; I have remained quiet and restrained. But now I will groan like a woman in labor; I will at once gasp and pant.
