My soul waiteth for the Lord More than watchmen wait for the morning; Yea, more than watchmen for the morning.

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

Who smote many nations, And slew mighty kings,

And slew famous kings; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:

In the day that I called thou answeredst me, Thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.

I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Wonderful are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well.

Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: Depart from me therefore, ye bloodthirsty men.

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

The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; They have spread a net by the wayside; They have set gins for me. Selah

Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked; Further not his evil device, lest they exalt themselves. Selah

For mine eyes are unto thee, O Jehovah the Lord: In thee do I take refuge; leave not my soul destitute.

Look on my right hand, and see; For there is no man that knoweth me: Refuge hath failed me; No man careth for my soul.

Bring my soul out of prison, That I may give thanks unto thy name: The righteous shall compass me about; For thou wilt deal bountifully with me.

For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; He hath smitten my life down to the ground: He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.

I spread forth my hands unto thee: My soul thirsteth after thee, as a weary land. Selah

Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; For in thee do I trust: Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; For I lift up my soul unto thee.

Quicken me, O Jehovah, for thy name's sake: In thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.

And in thy lovingkindness cut off mine enemies, And destroy all them that afflict my soul; For I am thy servant.

Jehovah is gracious, and merciful; Slow to anger, and of great lovingkindness.

Praise ye Jehovah. Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

Let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, And whole, as those that go down into the pit;

For the backsliding of the simple shall slay them, And the careless ease of fools shall destroy them.

For wisdom shall enter into thy heart, And knowledge shall be pleasant unto thy soul;

So shall they be life unto thy soul, And grace to thy neck.

He that committeth adultery with a woman is void of understanding: He doeth it who would destroy his own soul.

But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: All they that hate me love death.

Jehovah will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; But he thrusteth away the desire of the wicked.

The merciful man doeth good to his own soul; But he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.

The liberal soul shall be made fat; And he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth; But the soul of the treacherous'shall eat violence.

The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul; But it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil.

The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul; But the belly of the wicked shall want.

He that is slow to anger is of great understanding; But he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

A wrathful man stirreth up contention; But he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

He that refuseth correction despiseth his own soul; But he that hearkeneth to reproof getteth understanding.

The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: He that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.

Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; And he that ruleth his spirit, than he that taketh a city.

A fool's mouth is his destruction, And his lips are the snare of his soul.

Also, that the soul be without knowledge is not good; And he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.

He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: He that keepeth understanding shall find good.

The discretion of a man maketh him slow to anger; And it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; And the idle soul shall suffer hunger.

He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul; But he that is careless of his ways shall die.

The soul of the wicked desireth evil: His neighbor findeth no favor in his eyes.

Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue Keepeth his soul from troubles.

Thorns and'snares are in the way of the perverse: He that keepeth his soul shall be far from them.

Lest thou learn this ways, And get a snare to thy soul.

Thou shalt beat him with the rod, And shalt deliver his soul from Sheol.

Buy the truth, and sell it not; Yea , wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

If thou sayest, Behold, we knew not this; Doth not he that weigheth the hearts consider it? And he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? And shall not he render to every man according to his work?

So shalt thou know wisdom to be unto thy soul; If thou hast found it, then shall there be a reward, And thy hope shall not be cut off.

As the cold of snow in the time of harvest,'so is a faithful messenger to them that send him; For he refresheth the soul of his masters.

As cold waters to a thirsty soul, So is good news from a far country.

As the sparrow in her wandering, as the swallow in her flying, So the curse that is causeless alighteth not.

The full soul loatheth a honeycomb; But to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.

Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest; Yea, he will give delight unto thy soul.

Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul; He heareth the adjuration and uttereth nothing.

Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, And wine unto the bitter in soul:

There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God.

There is one that is alone, and he hath not a second; yea, he hath neither son nor brother; yet is there no end of all his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with riches. For whom then,'saith he , do I labor, and deprive my soul of good? This also is vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.

a man to whom God giveth riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacketh nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but an alien eateth it; this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

If a man beget a hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul be not filled with good, and moreover he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he:

which my soul still seeketh, but I have not found: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.

The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.

Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, Where thou feedest thy flock , Where thou makest it to rest at noon: For why should I be as one that is veiled Beside the flocks of thy companions?

By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.

I said , I will rise now, and go about the city; In the streets and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.

The watchmen that go about the city found me; To whom I said , Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?

It was but a little that I passed from them, When I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, Until I had brought him into my mother's house, And into the chamber of her that conceived me.

I opened to my beloved; But my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone. My soul had failed me when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.

Before I was aware, my soul set me Among the chariots of my princely people.

Set me as a seal upon thy heart, As a seal upon thine arm: For love is strong as death; Jealousy is cruel as Sheol; The flashes thereof are flashes of fire, A very flame of Jehovah.

From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and fresh stripes: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with oil.

Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth; they are a trouble unto me; I am weary of bearing them.

The show of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have done evil unto themselves.

Bind thou up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.

Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this.

And he will consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and it shall be as when a standard-bearer fainteth.

they are gone over the pass; they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah trembleth; Gibeah of Saul is fled.

but with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

And Heshbon crieth out, and Elealeh; their voice is heard even unto Jahaz: therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud; his soul trembleth within him.

Send ye the lambs for the ruler of the land from Selah to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.

And the pillars of Egypt'shall be broken in pieces; all they that work for hire'shall be grieved in soul.

Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Jehovah, have we waited for thee; to thy name, even to thy memorial name , is the desire of our soul.

With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee earnestly: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

Jehovah, thy hand is lifted up, yet they see not: but they shall see thy zeal for the people, and be put to shame; yea, fire shall devour thine adversaries.

In that day Jehovah with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan the swift serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent; and he will slay the monster that is in the sea.

And it shall be as when a hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.

For the fool will speak folly, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise profaneness, and to utter error against Jehovah, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not strengthen the foot of their mast, they could not spread the sail: then was the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame took the prey.

I have digged and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet will I dry up all the rivers of Egypt.

For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and out of mount Zion they that shall escape. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this.

Like a swallow or a crane, so did I chatter; I did moan as a dove; mine eyes fail with looking upward: O Lord, I am oppressed, be thou my surety.

What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it: I shall go softly all my years because of the bitterness of my soul.

Behold, it was for my peace that I had great bitterness: But thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; For thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.

Behold, my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.

Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice , the villages that Kedar doth inhabit; let the inhabitants of Sela sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.

Jehovah will go forth as a mighty man; he will stir up his zeal like a man of war: he will cry, yea, he will shout aloud; he will do mightily against his enemies.
