See the one who is pregnant with wickedness, who conceives destructive plans, and gives birth to harmful lies --

When I look up at the heavens, which your fingers made, and see the moon and the stars, which you set in place,

Your loyal followers trust in you, for you, Lord, do not abandon those who seek your help.

when they prayed: "Have mercy on me, Lord! See how I am oppressed by those who hate me, O one who can snatch me away from the gates of death!

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.

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

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.

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

All who see me taunt me; they mock me and shake their heads.

Let the oppressed eat and be filled! Let those who seek his help praise the Lord! May you live forever!

Such purity characterizes the people who seek his favor, Jacob's descendants, who pray to him. (Selah)

See my pain and suffering! Forgive all my sins!

Because of all my enemies, people disdain me; my neighbors are appalled by my suffering -- those who know me are horrified by my condition; those who see me in the street run away from me.

The Lord watches from heaven; he sees all people.

Taste and see that the Lord is good! How blessed is the one who takes shelter in him!

Even young lions sometimes lack food and are hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

May those who seek my life be embarrassed and humiliated! May those who plan to harm me be turned back and ashamed!

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!

I was once young, now I am old. I have never seen a godly man abandoned, or his children forced to search for food.

Rely on the Lord! Obey his commands! Then he will permit you to possess the land; you will see the demise of evil men.

I have seen ruthless evil men growing in influence, like a green tree grows in its native soil.

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 try to entrap me; those who want to harm me speak destructive words; all day long they say deceitful things.

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.

He gave me reason to sing a new song, praising our God. May many see what God has done, so that they might swear allegiance to him and trust in the Lord!

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

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.

May all those who seek you be happy and rejoice in you! May those who love to experience your deliverance say continually, "May the Lord be praised!"

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

As soon as they see, they are shocked; they are terrified, they quickly retreat.

We heard about God's mighty deeds, now we have seen them, in the city of the Lord, the invincible Warrior, in the city of our God. God makes it permanently secure. (Selah)

Surely one sees that even wise people die; fools and spiritually insensitive people all pass away and leave their wealth to others.

But he will join his ancestors; they will never again see the light of day.

When you see a thief, you join him; you associate with men who are unfaithful to their wives.

When the godly see this, they will be filled with awe, and will mock the evildoer, saying:

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

For foreigners attack me; ruthless men, who do not respect God, seek my life. (Selah)

Confuse them, O Lord! Frustrate their plans! For I see violence and conflict in the city.

His words are as smooth as butter, but he harbors animosity in his heart. His words seem softer than oil, but they are really like sharp swords.

Let them be like a snail that melts away as it moves along! Let them be like stillborn babies that never see the sun!

The godly will rejoice when they see vengeance carried out; they will bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked.

You have given your loyal followers a rallying flag, so that they might seek safety from the bow. (Selah)

Yes, in the sanctuary I have seen you, and witnessed your power and splendor.

Enemies seek to destroy my life, but they will descend into the depths of the earth.

They encourage one another to carry out their evil deed. They plan how to hide snares, and boast, "Who will see them?"

Their slander will bring about their demise. All who see them will shudder,

They see your processions, O God -- the processions of my God, my king, who marches along in holy splendor.

Let none who rely on you be disgraced because of me, O sovereign Lord and king! Let none who seek you be ashamed because of me, O God of Israel!

You know how I am insulted, humiliated and disgraced; you can see all my enemies.

The oppressed look on -- let them rejoice! You who seek God, may you be encouraged!

May all those who seek you be happy and rejoice in you! May those who love to experience your deliverance say continually, "May God be praised!"

Many are appalled when they see me, but you are my secure shelter.

We do not see any signs of God's presence; there are no longer any prophets and we have no one to tell us how long this will last.

Cover their faces with shame, so they might seek you, O Lord.

O God, arrogant men attack me; a gang of ruthless men, who do not respect you, seek my life.

Show me evidence of your favor! Then those who hate me will see it and be ashamed, for you, O Lord, will help me and comfort me.

May your servants see your work! May their sons see your majesty!

Certainly you will see it with your very own eyes -- you will see the wicked paid back.

I will satisfy him with long life, and will let him see my salvation.

Then they say, "The Lord does not see this; the God of Jacob does not take notice of it."

Does the one who makes the human ear not hear? Does the one who forms the human eye not see?

where your ancestors challenged my authority, and tried my patience, even though they had seen my work.

His lightning bolts light up the world; the earth sees and trembles.

The sky declares his justice, and all the nations see his splendor.

He remains loyal and faithful to the family of Israel. All the ends of the earth see our God deliver us.

Boast about his holy name! Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!

Seek the Lord and the strength he gives! Seek his presence continually!

so I may see the prosperity of your chosen ones, rejoice along with your nation, and boast along with the people who belong to you.

When the godly see this, they rejoice, and every sinner shuts his mouth.

I am disdained by them. When they see me, they shake their heads.

When the wicked see this, they will worry; they will grind their teeth in frustration and melt away; the desire of the wicked will perish.

They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see,

How blessed are those who observe his rules, and seek him with all their heart,

With all my heart I seek you. Do not allow me to stray from your commands!

Open my eyes so I can truly see the marvelous things in your law!

I will be secure, for I seek your precepts.

I seek your favor with all my heart. Have mercy on me as you promised!

Your loyal followers will be glad when they see me, for I find hope in your word.

I belong to you. Deliver me! For I seek your precepts.

(Resh) See my pain and rescue me! For I do not forget your law.

The wicked have no chance for deliverance, for they do not seek your statutes.

See how I love your precepts! O Lord, revive me with your loyal love!

The one who weeps as he walks along, carrying his bag of seed, will certainly come in with a shout of joy, carrying his sheaves of grain.

May the Lord bless you from Zion, that you might see Jerusalem prosper all the days of your life,

and that you might see your grandchildren. May Israel experience peace!

They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see,

even the darkness is not too dark for you to see, and the night is as bright as day; darkness and light are the same to you.

See if there is any idolatrous tendency in me, and lead me in the reliable ancient path!

Look to the right and see! No one cares about me. I have nowhere to run; no one is concerned about my life.
