And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. And whatever he does shall prosper.

The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

Thou shall break them with a rod of iron, thou 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.

He is like a lion that is greedy of his 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 within me.

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

To thee, O LORD, I will call. My rock, be not thou deaf to me, lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like those who go down into the pit.

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

I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind. I am like a broken vessel.

All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like thee, who delivers a poor man from him who is too strong for him, yea, a poor and needy man from him who robs him?

Like the profane mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.

Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God. Thy judgments are a great deep. O LORD, thou preserve man and beast.

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

I have seen a wicked man in great power, and spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.

When thou have corrected man with rebukes for iniquity, thou make his beauty to disintegrate like a moth. Surely every man is vanity. Selah.

Thou have made us like sheep for food, and have scattered us among the nations.

Even a man in splendor does not abide. He is like the beasts that perish.

A man who is in splendor, and understands not, is like the beasts that perish.

Thy tongue devises wickedness, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the loving kindness of God forever and ever.

And I said, O that I had wings like a dove! Then I would fly away, and be at rest.

Their poison is like the poison of a serpent, like the deaf adder that stops her ear,

They return at evening. They howl like a dog, and go round about the city.

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

How long will ye set upon a man, that ye may kill, all of you, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

who have whet their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrows, even bitter words,

Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, thou who have done great things. O God, who is like thee?

He will come down like rain upon the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.

There shall be abundance of grain in the earth upon the top of the mountains. The fruit of it shall shake like Lebanon. And they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.

They are not in trouble as [other] men, nor are they plagued like [other] men.

Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary. Who is a great god like God?

Thou led thy 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 he led forth his own people like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

but turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers. They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

Then LORD awoke as out of sleep, like a mighty man who shouts because of wine.

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

They have shed their blood like water round about Jerusalem, and there was none to bury them.

How long, O LORD? will thou be angry forever? Shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou who lead Joseph like a flock. Thou who sit [above] the cherubim, shine forth.

The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs of it were [like] cedars of God.

Nevertheless ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.

Make their ranking men like Oreb and Zeeb, yea, all their rulers like Zebah and Zalmunna,

O my God, make them like the whirling dust, as stubble before the wind,

There is none like thee among the gods, O LORD, nor like thy works.

cast off among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom thou remember no more, and they are cut off from thy hand.

They came round about me like water all the day long. They encompassed me around together.

For who in the clouds can be compared to LORD? Who among the sons of the mighty is like LORD,

O LORD God of hosts, who is a mighty one like thee, O LORD? And thy faithfulness is round about thee.

How long, O LORD? Will thou hide thyself forever? Shall thy wrath burn like fire?

Thou carry them away as with a flood. They are as a sleep. In the morning they are like grass which grows up.

But thou have exalted my horn like the wild ox's. I am anointed with fresh oil,

A righteous man shall flourish like the palm tree. He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

The mountains melted like wax at the presence of LORD, at the presence of LORD of the whole earth.

For my days consume away like smoke, and my bones are burned as a firebrand.

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

I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the waste places.

I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone upon the house-top.

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 thou shall endure. Yea, all of them shall grow old like a garment. As a vesture thou shall change them, and they shall be changed,

who satisfies thy desire with good things, [and] thy youth is renewed like the eagle.

Like as a father pities his sons, So LORD pities those who fear him.

who covers thyself with light as with a garment, who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,

He opened the rock, and 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 wits' end.

Yet he sets a needy man on high from affliction, and makes [him] families like a flock.

He also clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, and it came into his inward parts like water, and like oil into his bones.

I am gone like the shadow when it declines. I am tossed up and down as the locust.

Who is like LORD our God who has his seat on high,

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

Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams, ye little hills, like lambs?

Those who make them shall be like them. Yea, everyone who trusts in them.

They encompassed me around like bees. They are quenched as the fire of thorns. In the name of LORD I will cut them off.

For I have become like a wine-skin in the smoke. Yet I do not forget thy statutes.

Thou put away all the wicked of the earth like dross. Therefore I love thy testimonies.

I have gone astray like a lost sheep. Seek thy servant, for I do not forget thy commandments.

When LORD brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of thy house, thy sons like olive plants round about thy table.

Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul like a weaned child with his mother. Like a weaned child is my soul within me.

It is like the precious oil upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard, that came down upon the skirt of his garments,

like the dew of Hermon, that comes down upon the mountains of Zion. For there LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

Those who make them shall be like them, yea, everyone who trusts in them.

They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent. Adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.

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

Make haste to answer me, O LORD, my spirit fails. Hide not thy face from me, lest I become like those who go down into the pit.

Man is like vanity. His days are as a shadow that passes away.

He gives snow like wool. He scatters the hoar-frost like ashes.

He casts forth his ice like morsels. Who can stand before his cold?
