The arrogant rise against me, O God; a band of ruthless men seeks my life; they have no regard for You.

A song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. For the choirmaster. According to Mahalath Leannoth. A Maskil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD, the God of my salvation, day and night I cry out before You.

…his offspring shall endure forever, and his throne before Me like the sun,

You have set our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your presence.

I will set no worthless thing before my eyes. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.

No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who tells lies shall stand in my presence.

May their sins always remain before the LORD, that He may cut off their memory from the earth.

I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people.

I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people,

I will speak of Your testimonies before kings, and I will not be ashamed.

And though one may be overpowered, two can resist. Moreover, a cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

What advantage, then, has the wise man over the fool? What gain comes to the poor man who knows how to conduct himself before others?

Turn your eyes away from me, for they have overcome me. Your hair is like a flock of goats streaming down from Gilead.

Your land is desolate; your cities are burned with fire. Foreigners devour your fields before you—a desolation demolished by strangers.

Wash and cleanse yourselves. Remove your evil deeds from My sight. Stop doing evil!

Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.

The moon will be confounded and the sun will be ashamed; for the LORD of Hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before His elders with great glory.

All the nations are as nothing before Him; He regards them as nothingness and emptiness.

Surely they are like stubble; the fire will burn them up. They cannot deliver themselves from the power of the flame. There will be no coals to warm them or fire to sit beside.

Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; your walls are ever before Me.

For our transgressions are multiplied before You, and our sins testify against us. Our transgressions are indeed with us, and we know our iniquities:

For as the earth brings forth its growth, and as a garden enables seed to spring up, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations.

For My eyes are on all their ways. They are not hidden from My face, and their guilt is not concealed from My eyes.

Then he measured the gateway from the roof of one gate chamber to the roof of the opposite one; the distance was twenty-five cubits from doorway to doorway.

There was a gate to the inner court facing the north gate, just as there was on the east. He measured the distance from gateway to gateway to be a hundred cubits.

…as well as the thresholds and the beveled windows and the galleries all around with their three levels opposite the threshold, were overlaid with wood on all sides. They were paneled from the ground to the windows, and the windows were covered.

Then the man led me out northward into the outer court, and he brought me to the group of chambers opposite the temple courtyard and the outer wall on the north side.

Gallery faced gallery in three levels opposite the twenty cubits that belonged to the inner court and opposite the pavement that belonged to the outer court.

However, the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia.
