Because the Lord sees the way of the upright, but the end of the sinner is destruction.

Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish by the way, for soon might be kindled his anger, - How happy are all who seek refuge in him!

Sons of men! till when is my glory for shame? Ye love a vain thing, ye seek a lie. Selah.

See how the Lord has made great his mercy for me; the Lord will give ear to my cry.

Many are asking, "Who will help us to see better days?" LORD, may the light of your favor shine upon us.

That all may rejoice who seek refuge in thee, to times age-abiding, may shout in triumph, that thou wilt protect them, and they may leap for joy in thee who are lovers of thy Name.

LORD, my God, I seek refuge in you. Deliver me from those who persecute me! Rescue me!

That man is a worker of evil; the seed of wrongdoing has given birth to deceit.

For I see Thy heavens, a work of Thy fingers, Moon and stars that Thou didst establish.

Those who know your name will trust you, for you have not forsaken those who seek you, LORD.

Favour me, O Jehovah, See mine affliction by those hating me, Thou who liftest me up from the gates of death,

Put them in fear, O Lord, so that the nations may see that they are only men. (Selah.)

Why do you keep far away, O Lord? why are you not to be seen in times of trouble?

With haughty arrogance, the wicked thinks, "God will not seek justice." He always presumes "There is no God."

Their ways always seem prosperous. Your judgments are on high, far away from them. They scoff at all their enemies.

The wicked say to themselves, "God has forgotten, he has hidden his face, he will never see it."

Why do the wicked despise God and say to themselves, "God will not seek justice."?

You have taken notice, for you always see one who inflicts pain and suffering. The unfortunate victim entrusts his cause to you; you deliver the fatherless.

Break the arm of the wicked and evil man; so that when you seek out his wickedness you will find it no more.

See, the bows of the evil-doers are bent, they make ready their arrows on the cord, so that they may send them secretly against the upright in heart.

The LORD is in his holy Temple; the LORD's throne is in the heavens. His eyes see, his glance examines humanity.

Indeed, the LORD is righteous; he loves righteousness; the upright will see him face-to-face. To the Director: On an eight stringed harp. A Davidic Psalm.

for the wicked seem to be everywhere, when people promote evil.

How long shall I seek counsel in my soul, and be so vexed in my heart? How long shall mine enemies triumph over me?

The Lord looks down from heaven at the human race, to see if there is anyone who is wise and seeks God.

You will not abandon me to Sheol; you will not allow your faithful follower to see the Pit.

Justice for me will come from your presence; your eyes see what is right.

Let thy lovingkindness be distinguished, thou Saviour of such as seek refuge from them who lift themselves up against thy right hand.

As for me, because I am innocent I will see your face; when I awake you will reveal yourself to me.

The Lord is my rock,
my fortress, and my deliverer,
my God, my mountain where I seek refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation,
my stronghold.

Then the channels of the sea could be seen, and the foundations of the earth were uncovered because of your rebuke, LORD, because of the blast from the breath of your nostrils.

He who is holy will see that you are holy; but to the man whose way is not straight you will be a hard judge.

As for GOD, blameless is his way, The speech of Yahweh hath been proved, A shield, he is to all who seek refuge in him.

He is the one who gives victories to his king; who shows gracious love to his anointed, to David and his seed forever. To the Director: A Davidic Psalm.

Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

All who see me laugh at me and mock me;
They [insultingly] open their lips, they shake their head, saying,

I am able to see all my bones; their looks are fixed on me:

"All who fear the LORD, praise him! All the seed of Jacob, glorify him! All the seed of Israel, fear him!

The afflicted will eat and be satisfied;
Those who [diligently] seek Him and require Him [as their greatest need] will praise the Lord.
May your hearts live forever!

A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.

This is the generation (description) of those who diligently seek Him and require Him as their greatest need,
Who seek Your face, even [as did] Jacob. Selah.

His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

See mine affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins.

See my enemies, for they have been many, And with violent hatred they have hated me.

One thing I have asked of the Lord, and that I will seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His presence] all the days of my life,
To gaze upon the beauty [the delightful loveliness and majestic grandeur] of the Lord
And to meditate in His temple.

When You said, “Seek My face [in prayer, require My presence as your greatest need],” my heart said to You,
“Your face, O Lord, I will seek [on the authority of Your word].”

I would have despaired had I not believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living.

In You, O Lord, I have placed my trust and taken refuge;
Let me never be ashamed;
In Your righteousness rescue me.

I will rejoice and be glad in Your steadfast love,
Because You have seen my affliction;
You have taken note of my life’s distresses,

I have become an object of reproach to all my enemies, especially to my neighbors. I have become an object of fear to my friends, and whoever sees me outside runs away from me.

Let your servant see the light of your face; in your mercy be my saviour.

How great is thy goodness, which thou hast hidden away for them who revere thee, - Thou hast wrought for them who seek refuge in thee, in sight of the sons of men.

Happy is the man in whom the Lord sees no evil, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

From the heavens hath Jehovah looked, He hath seen all the sons of men.

See, the eye of the Lord is on those in whose hearts is the fear of him, on those whose hope is in his mercy;

O taste and see that the Lord [our God] is good;
How blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who takes refuge in Him.

The young lions lack [food] and grow hungry,
But they who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing.

Who is the man who desires life
And loves many days, that he may see good?

Turn away from evil and do good;
Seek peace and pursue it.

Yahweh ransometh the soul of his servants, And none shall be held guilty, who seek refuge in him.

Let those be ashamed and dishonored who seek my life;
Let those be turned back [in defeat] and humiliated who plot evil against me.

O Jehovah, how long wilt thou see? Turn back my soul from their destruction, my only one from the lions.

They open their mouths wide against me;
They say, “Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it!”

You have seen this, O Lord; do not keep silent.
O Lord, do not be far from me.

How precious thy lovingkindness, O God, - Therefore, the sons of men, under the shadow of thy wings, seek refuge:

For with You is the fountain of life [the fountain of life-giving water];
In Your light we see light.

I can see the evildoers! They have fallen! They have been knocked down and are unable to get up!

By David. Do not fret when wicked men seem to succeed! Do not envy evildoers!

And he will make your righteousness be seen like the light, and your cause like the shining of the sun.

The Lord laughs at him [the wicked one—the one who oppresses the righteous],
For He sees that his day [of defeat] is coming.

But the wrongdoers will come to destruction, and the haters of the Lord will be like the fat of lambs, they will be burned up; they will go up in smoke, and never again be seen.

I have been young and now I am old,
Yet I have not seen the righteous (those in right standing with God) abandoned
Or his descendants pleading for bread.

He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.

For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

The wicked lies in wait for the righteous
And seeks to kill him.

Wait for and expect the Lord and keep His way,
And He will exalt you to inherit the land;
[In the end] when the wicked are cut off, you will see it.

I have seen a wicked, violent man [with great power]
Spreading and flaunting himself like a cedar in its native soil,

And he passeth away, and lo, he is not, And I seek him, and he is not found!

Observe the perfect, and see the upright, For the latter end of each is peace.

The Lord helps them and rescues them; he rescues them from evil men and delivers them, for they seek his protection.

My heart beats quickly; my strength leaves me; I can hardly see.

Those who seek my life lay snares for me,
And those who seek to injure me threaten mischievous things and destruction;
They devise treachery all the day long.

They reward my good with evil, opposing me because I seek to do good.

Lord, give me knowledge of my end, and of the measure of my days, so that I may see how feeble I am.

Look, you make my days short-lived, and my life span is nothing from your perspective. Surely all people, even those who seem secure, are nothing but vapor.

O spare me a little that I may recover my strength, before I go hence, and be no more seen."

He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God;
Many will see and fear [with great reverence]
And will trust confidently in the Lord.

How blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord and does not seek help from the proud or from liars!

Then I said, See, I come; it is recorded of me in the roll of the book,

I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly;
see, I do not keep my mouth closed—
as You know, Lord.

For innumerable dangers surround me. My sins overtake me so I am unable to see; they outnumber the hairs of my head so my strength fails me.

Let those be ashamed and humiliated together
Who seek my life to destroy it;
Let those be turned back [in defeat] and dishonored
Who delight in my hurt.

Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
Let those who love Your salvation say continually,
“The Lord be magnified!”

And when one comes to see me, he speaks empty words,
While his heart gathers malicious gossip [against me];
When he goes away, he tells it [everywhere].

By this I see that you have pleasure in me, because my hater does not overcome me.

My soul thirsted for God, for the living God, When do I enter and see the face of God?

Will not God make search for it? for he sees the secrets of the heart.

Hearken, O daughter, and see, incline thine ear, And forget thy people, and thy father's house,

Rich people from Tyre will seek your favor by bringing a gift.

Come ye, see the works of Jehovah, Who hath done astonishing things in the earth,
