You have put more joy in my heart
than they have when their grain and new wine abound.

doing justice for the fatherless and the oppressed
so that men of the earth may terrify them no more.

They are more desirable than gold—
than an abundance of pure gold;
and sweeter than honey,
which comes from the honeycomb.

A little while, and the wicked person will be no more;
though you look for him, he will not be there.

“Certainly, man walks about like a mere shadow.
Indeed, they frantically rush around in vain,
gathering possessions
without knowing who will get them.

You discipline a man with punishment for sin,
consuming like a moth what is precious to him;
every man is only a vapor.Selah

Lord my God, You have done many things—
Your wonderful works and Your plans for us;
none can compare with You.
If I were to report and speak of them,
they are more than can be told.

For troubles without number have surrounded me;
my sins have overtaken me; I am unable to see.
They are more than the hairs of my head,
and my courage leaves me.

You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of joy
more than your companions.

Myrrh, aloes, and cassia perfume all your garments;
from ivory palaces harps bring you joy.

Those who hate me without cause
are more numerous than the hairs of my head;
my deceitful enemies, who would destroy me,
are powerful.
Though I did not steal, I must repay.

That will please Yahweh more than an ox,
more than a bull with horns and hooves.

But I will hope continually
and will praise You more and more.

May the righteous flourish in his days
and prosperity abound
until the moon is no more.

The Lord loves the gates of Zion
more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

God is greatly feared in the council of the holy ones,
more awe-inspiring than all who surround Him.

May sinners vanish from the earth
and wicked people be no more.
My soul, praise Yahweh!
Hallelujah!

The Lord made His people very fruitful;
He made them more numerous than their foes,

I have more insight than all my teachers
because Your decrees are my meditation.

I understand more than the elders
because I obey Your precepts.

Since I love Your commands
more than gold, even the purest gold,

Show us favor, Lord, show us favor,
for we’ve had more than enough contempt.

We’ve had more than enough
scorn from the arrogant
and contempt from the proud.

I wait for the Lord
more than watchmen for the morning—
more than watchmen for the morning.
