The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

You shall break them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

Lest they tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

Like as a lion that is greedy of its prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

He makes my feet like hinds' feet, and sets me upon my high places.

I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my body.

My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue clings to my jaws; and you have brought me to the dust of death.

[A Psalm of David.] Unto you will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if you be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild ox.

All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto you, who delivers the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that plunders him?

Your righteousness is like the great mountains; your judgments are a great deep: O LORD, you preserve man and beast.

For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

When you with rebukes do correct man for iniquity, you make his beauty melt away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.

You have given us like sheep appointed for food; and have scattered us among the nations.

Nevertheless man being in honor abides not: he is like the beasts that perish.

Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.

Man that is in honor, and understands not, is like the beasts that perish.

Your tongue devises evil; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.

And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.

Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stops its ear;

As a snail who melts, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.

They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

Your righteousness also, O God, is very high, who has done great things: O God, who is like unto you!

He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.

There shall be a handful of grain in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like the grass of the earth.

They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.

You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouts by reason of wine.

And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he has established forever.

Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.

How long, LORD? will you be angry forever? shall your jealousy burn like fire?

[To the Chief Musician upon shoshannim- Eduth. A Psalm of Asaph.] Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, you that lead Joseph like a flock; you that dwell between the cherubim, shine forth.

The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.

Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:

O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.

Among the gods there is none like unto you, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto your works.

Adrift among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom you remember no more: and they are cut off from your hand.

They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.

O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto you? or to your faithfulness round about you?

For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as a hearth.

My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

I am like a vulture of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,

My days are like a shadow that declines; and I am withered like grass.

They shall perish, but you shall endure: yea, all of them shall grow old like a garment; as a vesture shall you change them, and they shall be changed:

Who satisfies your mouth with good things; so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Like as a father pities his children, so the LORD pities them that fear him.

Who covers yourself with light as with a garment: who stretches out the heavens like a curtain:

He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.

They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end.

Yet sets he the poor on high from affliction, and makes their families like a flock.

As he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, so let it come into his body like water, and like oil into his bones.

I am gone like the shadow when it declines: I am shaken off like the locust.

Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwells on high,

The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.

You mountains, that you skipped like rams; and you little hills, like lambs?

For I am become like a wineskin in the smoke; yet do I not forget your statutes.

You put away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love your testimonies.

I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant; for I do not forget your commandments.

[A song of ascents.] When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

Your wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of your house: your children like olive plants round about your table.

They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusts in them.

They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.

Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit fails: hide not your face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.

Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passes away.

He gives snow like wool: he scatters the frost like ashes.

He casts forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
