And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also doth not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt 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 maketh my feet like hinds feet : And setteth 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 cleaveth to my jaws; And thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I call: My rock, be not thou deaf unto me; Lest, if thou be silent unto me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

He maketh 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, Jehovah, who is like unto thee, Who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, Yea, the poor and the needy from him that robbeth 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 Jehovah, thou preservest man and beast.

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

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

When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, Thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: Surely every man is vanity. Selah

Thou hast made us like sheep appointed for food, And hast scattered us among the nations.

But man being in honor abideth not: He is like the beasts that perish.

Man that is in honor, and understandeth not, Is like the beasts that perish.

Thy tongue deviseth very 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 lovingkindness of God for ever and ever.

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

Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: They are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear,

Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away, Like the untimely birth of a woman, that hath not seen the sun.

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 slay him , 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 hast done great things, O God, who is like unto 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 thereof shall shake like Lebanon: And they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.

They are not in trouble as other men; Neither are they plagued like other men.

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

Thou leddest 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 the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, Like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.

And he built his sanctuary like the heights, Like the earth which he hath established for ever.

Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; And there was none to bury them.

How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou be angry for ever? Shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, Thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; Thou that sittest above the cherubim, shine forth.

The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, And the boughs thereof were like cedars of God.

Nevertheless ye shall die like men, And fall like one of the princes.

Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; Yea, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna;

O my God, make them like the whirling dust; As stubble before the wind.

There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord; Neither are there any works like unto thy works.

Cast off among the dead, Like the slain that lie in the grave, Whom thou rememberest no more, And they are cut off from thy hand.

They came round about me like water all the day long; They compassed me about together.

For who in the skies can be compared unto Jehovah? Who among the sons of the mighty is like unto Jehovah,

O Jehovah God of hosts, Who is a mighty one, like unto thee, O Jehovah? And thy faithfulness is round about thee.

How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? How long'shall thy wrath burn like fire?

Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: In the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

But my horn hast thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox: I am anointed with fresh oil.

The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree: He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

The mountains melted like wax at the presence of Jehovah, At the presence of the 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 am become as an owl of the waste places.

I watch, and am 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 declineth; And I am withered like grass.

They shall perish, but thou shalt endure; Yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; As a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:

Who satisfieth thy desire with good things,'so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle.

Like as a father pitieth his children, So Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.

Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment; Who stretchest 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 setteth he the needy on high from affliction, And maketh him families like a flock.

He clothed himself also 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 declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.

Who is like unto Jehovah our God, That hath 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?

They that make them shall be like unto them; Yea, every one that trusteth in them.

They compassed me about like bees; They are quenched as the fire of thorns: In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.

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

Thou puttest 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 Jehovah brought back those that returned to Zion, We were like unto them that dream.

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine, In the innermost parts of thy house; Thy children 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 cometh down upon the mountains of Zion: For there Jehovah commanded the blessing, Even life for evermore.

They that make them shall be like unto them; Yea, every one that trusteth in them.

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

Make haste to answer me, O Jehovah; my spirit faileth: Hide not thy face from me, Lest I become like them that go down into the pit.

Man is like to vanity: His days are as a shadow that passeth away.

He giveth snow like wool; He scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes.

He casteth forth his ice like morsels: Who can stand before his cold?
