Those whose hope is in the Lord are like the mountain of Zion, which may not be moved, but keeps its place for ever.

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

Restore our fortunes, Lord,
like watercourses in the Negev.

Like arrows in the hand of a warrior
are the sons born in one’s youth.

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

Let them be like grass on the rooftops,
which withers before it grows up

Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself
like a little weaned child with its mother;
I am like a little child.

It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;

It is like the dew of Hermon
falling on the mountains of Zion.
For there the Lord has appointed the blessing—
life forevermore.

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

Knowledge like this is too amazing for me. It is beyond my reach, and I cannot fathom it.

even the darkness is not dark to You.
The night shines like the day;
darkness and light are alike to You.

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

Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.

Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don't let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.

Like plowing and furrowing the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.

For the enemy has pursued me,
crushing me to the ground,
making me live in darkness
like those long dead.

I spread out my hands to You;
I am like parched land before You.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.

Then our sons will be like plants
nurtured in their youth,
our daughters, like corner pillars
that are carved in the palace style.

They will overflow [like a fountain] when they speak of Your great and abundant goodness
And will sing joyfully of Your righteousness.

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

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

He has not dealt with any other nation like this; they never knew his decrees. Hallelujah!
