An evil speaker won't be established in the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.

Surely [the] righteous will give thanks to your name; [the] upright will dwell in your presence.

Do not let me have evil desires, or participate in sinful activities with men who behave wickedly. I will not eat their delicacies.

Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.

[When] their judges are thrown down [the] sides of a cliff, then they will understand that my words were pleasant.

Watch me from the hands of the snare they will lay for me, and the snares of those working iniquity.

Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
While I pass by and safely escape [from danger].

A well-written song by David, when he was in the cave; a prayer. To the Lord I cry out; to the Lord I plead for mercy.

I put all my sorrows before him; and made clear to him all my trouble.

When my spirit was overwhelmed and weak within me [wrapped in darkness],
You knew my path.
In the way where I walk
They have hidden a trap for me.

I look upon my righthand, and see there is no man that will know me. I have no place to flee unto, no man careth for my soul.

So I cry to you, Lord, declaring, "You are my refuge, my only possession while I am on this earth."

“Bring my soul out of prison (adversity),
So that I may give thanks and praise Your name;
The righteous will surround me [in triumph],
For You will look after me.”

And thou wilt not come into judgment with thy servant, for all living shall not be justified before thee.

And my spirit will languish upon me, and my heart will be desolate within me.

I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.

Quickly answer me, O Yahweh; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me, or I will become like [those] descending to [the] pit.

Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.

And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.

Lord, part Your heavens and come down.
Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.

I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.

Then our sons will be like plants
nurtured in their youth,
our daughters, like corner pillars
that are carved in the palace style.

That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:

When our oxen are well laden; When there is no breaking in, and no going forth, And no outcry in our streets:

{David's Psalm of praise.} I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.

Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.

One generation will laud your works to another, and will declare your mighty deeds.

I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.

And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.

They will utter the renown of your abundant goodness, and they will proclaim with joy your righteousness.

The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.

All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee.

They will speak of the glory of your kingdom, and talk of your power,

informing all people of Your mighty acts
and of the glorious splendor of Your kingdom.

Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.

The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.

The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season.

Thou openest thine hand, and fillest all things living with plenteousness.

The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.

The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.

He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.

The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.

My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.

While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

Man's breath goes out, he is turned back again to dust; in that day all his purposes come to an end.

Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:

The Lord gives sight to the blind. The Lord lifts up all who are bent over. The Lord loves the godly.

Jehovah watched the strangers he will restore the orphan and the widow, and he will overturn the way of the unjust

The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.

The Lord is building up Jerusalem; he makes all the outlaws of Israel come together.

He makes the broken-hearted well, and puts oil on their wounds.

He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.

The LORD supports the afflicted while he casts the wicked to the ground.

He will not delight in the strength of the horse: he will not be pleased in the legs of a man.

He gives peace in all your land, making your stores full of fat grain.

He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.

He then orders it all to melt; he breathes on it, and the water flows.

Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.

Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.

Praise him, all ye heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.

And he put them in place forever and ever, [by] a decree he gave that will not pass away.

Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:

Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:

Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:

Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:

young men and young women as well, [the] old [together] with [the] young--

He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD.

For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

Let high praises to God be heard in their throats, while they wield two-edged swords in their hands

To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.

Praise him upon the well-tuned cymbals; praise him upon the loud cymbals.

All that doth breathe doth praise Jah! Praise ye Jah!

A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

for they will be a garland of grace on your head
and a gold chain around your neck.

If they say, "Come with us! Let's lie in wait for blood; let's ambush some innocent person for no reason at all.

Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:

We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:

Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:

For their feet will run to evil, and they will hasten to pour out blood:

Look, it is useless to spread a net in full view of all the birds,

And they will lie in wait for their blood; they will hide for their souls.

Thus are the ways of all who are greedy [for] gain-- it will take the life of its possessors.

Wisdom will cry without; in the broad places she will give her voice:

She will call in the head of sound, in the entrances of the gates: in the city she will say her words:

How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

Because I called and ye will refuse; I stretched forth my hands, and none attending;

But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

they will eat the fruit of their way
and be glutted with their own schemes.

for the waywardness of the simple ones will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them.

Whoever listens to me will dwell in security and rest securely from dread and disaster."

My son, if you will receive my words
And treasure my commandments within you,

So that your ear is attentive to [skillful and godly] wisdom,
And apply your heart to understanding [seeking it conscientiously and striving for it eagerly];

For if thou will call to understanding, wilt give thy voice to understanding

Then you will understand the [reverent] fear of the Lord [that is, worshiping Him and regarding Him as truly awesome]
And discover the knowledge of God.

For Yahweh will give wisdom; from his mouth [come] knowledge and understanding.
