Of

Behold, he putteth no trust in his holy ones, and the heavens are not pure in his sight:

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness; evil shall not sojourn with thee.

Jehovah is in the temple of his holiness; Jehovah, his throne is in the heavens: his eyes behold, his eyelids try the children of men.

The eyes of Jehovah are upon the righteous, and his ears are toward their cry;

but as he who has called you is holy, be ye also holy in all your conversation;

Wherefore

Why, Jehovah, standest thou afar off? Why hidest thou thyself in times of distress?

For I was envious at the arrogant, seeing the prosperity of the wicked.

Righteous art thou, Jehovah, when I plead with thee; yet will I speak with thee of thy judgments. Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they at ease that deal very treacherously?

Deal

A grievous vision is declared unto me: the treacherous dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, Elam! besiege, Media! All the sighing thereof have I made to cease.

Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and that dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! When thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; when thou shalt make an end of dealing treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.

Holdest

Thou hast seen it, Jehovah: keep not silence; O Lord, be not far from me.

Our God will come, and will not keep silence: fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

{A Song; a Psalm of Asaph.} O God, keep not silence; hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God:

Open thy mouth for the dumb, for the cause of all those that are left desolate.

Wilt thou restrain thyself in presence of these things, Jehovah? Wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?

The wicked

Why dost thou cause me to see iniquity, and lookest thou upon grievance? For spoiling and violence are before me; and there is strife, and contention riseth up.

how much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed? and should I not now demand his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?

And Jehovah shall requite the blood which he shed upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, without my father David's knowledge: Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.

The wicked plotteth against the righteous, and gnasheth his teeth against him.

{To the chief Musician. On Jonathelem-rechokim. Of David. Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath.} Be gracious unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up: all the day long fighting he oppresseth me.

him, given up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye, by the hand of lawless men, have crucified and slain.

The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus, whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he had judged that he should be let go.
