“From the [populous and crowded] city men groan,
And the souls of the wounded cry out for help;
Yet God [seemingly] does not pay attention to the wrong [done to them].

Maternal love shall forget him, the worm shall find him sweet, No more shall he be remembered, but perversity shall be shivered like a tree.

He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.

"Those who are deceased tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.

“As God lives, who has taken away my right and denied me justice,
And the Almighty, who has caused bitterness and grief for my soul,

(For my life is yet whole in me, And the spirit of God is in my nostrils);

My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.

“For what is the hope of the godless, even though he has gained [in this world],
When God takes his life?

He breaks open a shaft away from where people live. They are forgotten by the foot. They hang far from men, they swing back and forth.

"From where, then, does wisdom originate? Where does understanding live?

God understands how to get there; he knows where they live.

"I used to say: "I will die in my home. I'm going to live as many days as there are grains of sand on the shore.

I laugh unto them -- they give no credence, And the light of my face cause not to fall.

I set an example of the way to live, as a leader would; I lived like a king among his army; like one who comforts mourners."

"But now [those] younger than I, as far as days, laugh at me, whose fathers I rejected for setting with the dogs of my sheep and goats.

They are wasted for need of food, biting the dry earth; their only hope of life is in the waste land.

so that they had to live in the dry stream beds, in the holes of the ground, and among the rocks.

“And now my soul is poured out within me;
The days of affliction have seized me.

Yes, I know that You will lead me to death—
the place appointed for all who live.

“Have I not wept for the one whose life is hard?
Was not my soul grieved for the needy?

He watches my life, observing every one of my actions, does he not?"

"If I've lived my life in the company of vanity, or run quickly to embrace deception,

“For it is a fire which consumes to Abaddon (destruction, ruin, final torment);
And [illicit passion] would burn and rage and uproot all my [life’s] increase [destroying everything].

Did not God make him as well as me? did he not give us life in our mothers' bodies?

(Yea, I have not suffered by mouth to sin By asking his life with a curse);

For if I had feared any great multitude of people, or if I had been despised of the simple; Oh then should I have been afraid. Thus have I quietly spent my life, and not gone out at the door.

“I would count out to Him the number of my steps [with every detail of my life],
Approaching His presence as if I were a prince.

If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:

The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.

Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.

And if he has mercy on him, and says, Let him not go down to the underworld, I have given the price for his life:

He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.

To bring his life back from the pit [of destruction],
That he may be enlightened with the light of the living.

“If God should determine to do so,
If He should gather to Himself [that is, withdraw from man] His [life-giving] spirit and His breath,

Truly, God gives up the hard-hearted, and will not give life to the sinner.

He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor.

If they give ear to his voice, and do his word, then he gives them long life, and years full of pleasure.

They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.

Hath God ordained then, that the glorious life of thee, and all such mighty men should not be put down?

"O consider how great and excellent his works be, whom all men love and praise:

Whether as {correction} or for his land, or as loyal love, he lets it happen.

"Have you {ever in your life} commanded [the] morning? Have you made the dawn know its place,

"Where is the road to where the light lives? Or where does the darkness live?

to bring rain on a land {where no one lives}, a desert {where no humans live},

Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? and wilt thou fill up the life of the young lions?

He doth laugh at the multitude of a city, The cries of an exactor he heareth not.

The wings of the ostrich wave proudly; But are they the pinions and plumage of love?

“Yet when she lifts herself on high,
[So swift is she that] she laughs at the horse and his rider.

He will laugh at fear, and he will not be dismayed; and he will not turn back from the face of the sword.

“He is the first [in magnitude and power] of the works of God;
[Only] He who made him can bring near His sword [to master him].

Will he solemnise a covenant with thee? Wilt thou take him for a life-long servant?

A thick stick is no better than a leaf of grass, and he makes sport of the onrush of the spear.

So the Lord blessed the last part of Job’s life more than the first. He owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.

And after this Job had a hundred and forty years of life, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.

Then Job died at an old age, having lived a full life.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.

I will both lie down and sleep in peace,
for You alone, Lord, make me live in safety.

For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil can't live with you.

But as for me, I will enter Your house through the abundance of Your steadfast love and tender mercy;
At Your holy temple I will bow [obediently] in reverence for You.

But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

Return, O Lord, rescue my soul;
Save me because of Your [unfailing] steadfast love and mercy.

So that my enemy will not tear me like a lion,
Dragging me away while there is no one to rescue [me].

Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.

The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked and those who love violence, he hates.

He will rain upon the lawless live-coals, Fire and brimstone and a burning wind, are the portion of their cup.

But as for me, I have trusted in your steadfast love. My heart will rejoice in your deliverance.

A Davidic psalm.Lord, who can dwell in Your tent?
Who can live on Your holy mountain?

Whoever lives a blameless life, does what is right, and speaks honestly.

So my heart rejoices and I am happy; My life is safe.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Show wondrously your acts of loyal love, O Savior of those who take refuge at your right hand from those who rise up against [them].

from [the] {presence} of [the] wicked who destroy me, [those] enemies against my life, [they that] surround me.

Arise, O Lord, confront him, cast him down;
Save my soul from the wicked with Your sword,

From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said,} I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

There went up smoke in his nostrils, and, a fire out of his mouth, devoured, Live coals, were kindled from it:

Out of the brightness before him, his clouds rolled along, hail, and live coals of fire.

Then did Yahweh thunder in the heavens, and the Highest uttered his voice, - hail, and live coals of fire.

To the holy, you show your gracious love, to the upright, you show yourself upright;

The LORD liveth: and blessed be my strong helper, and praised be the God of my salvation, {TYNDALE: The LORD live, and blessed be he that is my strength: and exalted be God the strength that saveth me.}

He gives great triumphs to His king,
And shows steadfast love and mercy to His anointed,
To David and his descendants forever.

The law of Yahweh [is] perfect, reviving life. The testimony of Yahweh [is] firm, making wise [the] simple.

The Lord's precepts are fair and make one joyful. The Lord's commands are pure and give insight for life.

He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.

For the king [confidently] trusts in the Lord,
And through the lovingkindness (faithfulness, goodness) of the Most High he will never be shaken.

All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,

But thou art he that brought me forth into life: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.

Rescue my life from the sword,
My only life from the paw of the dog (the executioner).

The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

All who prosper on earth will eat and bow down;
all those who go down to the dust
will kneel before Him—
even the one who cannot preserve his life.

He refreshes and restores my soul (life);
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
for His name’s sake.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

The earth is Yahweh's, with its fullness, [the] world and those who live in it,

To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

Remember your compassion, O Yahweh, and your acts of loyal love, because they [are] from of old.

Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
According to Your lovingkindness remember me,
For Your goodness’ sake, O Lord.
