O

My soul is among lions;
I must lie among those who breathe forth fire,
Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows
And their tongue a sharp sword.

For the choir director; set to Al-tashheth. A Mikhtam of David.
Do you indeed speak righteousness, O gods?
Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?

Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed quickly, therefore the hearts of the sons of men among them are given fully to do evil.

This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one fate for all men. Furthermore, the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil and insanity is in their hearts throughout their lives. Afterwards they go to the dead.

My glory

But You, O Lord, are a shield about me,
My glory, and the One who lifts my head.

You would put to shame the counsel of the afflicted,
But the Lord is his refuge.

Thus they exchanged their glory
For the image of an ox that eats grass.

Then they will be dismayed and ashamed because of Cush their hope and Egypt their boast.

Israel has been saved by the Lord
With an everlasting salvation;
You will not be put to shame or humiliated
To all eternity.

“Has a nation changed gods
When they were not gods?
But My people have changed their glory
For that which does not profit.

The more they multiplied, the more they sinned against Me;
I will change their glory into shame.

so that, just as it is written, “Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

Love

Why are the nations in an uproar
And the peoples devising a vain thing?

You must not turn aside, for then you would go after futile things which can not profit or deliver, because they are futile.

No one sues righteously and no one pleads honestly.

They trust in confusion and speak lies;
They conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity.

Thus says the Lord,
“What injustice did your fathers find in Me,
That they went far from Me
And walked after emptiness and became empty?

“Those who regard vain idols
Forsake their faithfulness,

Leasing

You destroy those who speak falsehood;
The Lord abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.

The wicked are estranged from the womb;
These who speak lies go astray from birth.

But the king will rejoice in God;
Everyone who swears by Him will glory,
For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.

“They bend their tongue like their bow;
Lies and not truth prevail in the land;
For they proceed from evil to evil,
And they do not know Me,” declares the Lord.

Therefore, laying aside falsehood, speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.
