Then shouldest thou take thy rest, and no man to make thee afraid, yea many one should set much by thee.

Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?

Doest thou open thine eyes upon such one, and bringest me in thy judgment?

O that thou wouldest keep me, and hide me in the hell, until thy wrath were stilled: and to appoint me a time, wherein thou mightest remember me.

But thy wickedness teacheth thy mouth, and so thou hast chosen thee a crafty tongue.

With us are old and aged men; yea, such as have lived longer than thy forefathers.

that thy mind is so puffed up against God and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?

Shall not thy vain words come yet to an end? Or, hast thou yet any more to say?

I have sufficiently heard thy checking and reproof; therefore am I purposed to make answer after mine understanding.

They say unto God, 'Go from us: we desire not the knowledge of thy ways!

Is it any advantage to the Almighty that thou art righteous? Or what doth it profit him, that thy ways are perfect?

Is not thy wickedness great, and thine ungracious deeds innumerable?

Thou hast taken the pledge from thy brethren for naught, and robbed the naked of their clothing;

For if thou wilt turn to the Almighty, thou shalt stand fast, and all unrighteousness shall be far from thy dwelling:

Yea, the Almighty his own self shall be thine harvest, and the heap of thy money.

Then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and lift up thy face unto God.

Then shalt thou make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt keep thy promises.

Then, look what thou takest in hand: he shall make it to prosper with thee, and the light shall shine in thy ways.

Thou art become mine enemy, and with thy violent hand thou takest part against me.

"Now hast thou spoken in mine ears, and I have heard the voice of thy words:

But if thou hast anything to say, then answer me, and speak, for thy answer pleaseth me.

If thou hast nothing, then hear me, and hold thy tongue, so shall I teach thee wisdom."

Therefore will I give answer unto thee and thy friends.

If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? Or what receiveth he of thy hands:

"When thou speakest, then, should not he pardon thee, if thou open thyself before him, and put thy trust in him?

Even so shall he keep thee - if thou wilt be content - from the bottomless pit that is beneath: and if thou wilt hold the quiet, he shall fill thy table with plenteousness.

For then shall not thy cause be stilled with cruelty, nor pacified with many gifts.

Prolong not thou the time, till there come a night for thee, to set other people in thy stead.

And how thy clothes are warm, when the land is still through the South wind?

Gird up thy loins like a man, for I will question thee, see thou give me a direct answer.

saying, 'Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further, and here shalt thou lay down thy proud and high waves.'

Moreover, canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that they may pour down a great rain upon thee?

Will the unicorn be so tame as to do the service, or to abide still by thy crib?

Canst thou bind the yoke about him in thy furrows, to make him plow after thee in the valleys?

Mayest thou trust him because he is strong, or commit thy labour unto him?

Mayest thou believe him, that he will bring home thy corn, or to carry anything unto thy barn?

"Cometh it through thy wisdom, that the Goshawk flyeth toward the South?

Doth the Eagle mount up, and make his nest on high, at thy commandment?

Gird up thy loins like a man, and tell me the things that I will ask thee.

Is thine arm then like the arm of God? Maketh thy voice such a sound as his doth?

Then arm thyself with thine own power! Up, deck thee in thy jolly array,

pour out thy indignation of thy wrath; see that thou cast down all the proud,

look well, that thou makest all such as be stubburn, to obey; tread all the ungodly under thy feet,

Then will I confess also, that thy own righthand hath saved thee.

Wilt thou take thy pastime with him as with a bird? Or give him unto thy maidens,

that thy companions may hew him in pieces, to be parted among the merchant men?

Now when the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, he said unto Eliphaz the Temanite, "I am displeased with thee and thy two friends, for ye have not spoken the thing that is right before me, like as my servant Job hath done.

Desire of me, and I shall give thee the Heathen for thine inheritance; and the uttermost parts of the world for thy possession.

Salvation belongeth unto the LORD; and thy blessing is upon thy people.

There be many that say, "Who will show us any good? LORD lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us."

Such as be foolish shall not stand in thy sight, for thou hatest all them that work vanity.

But as for me, I will come into thy house, even upon the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way plain before my face.

And let all them that put their trust in thee rejoice. They shall ever be giving of thanks, because thou defendest them. They that love thy name shall be joyful in thee;

for thou, LORD, wilt give thy blessing unto the righteous, and with thy favourable kindness wilt thou defend him, as with a shield.

{To the Chanter in Neginoth upon Sheminith, a Psalm of David} O LORD, rebuke me not in thine indignation, neither chasten me in thy displeasure.

Turn thee, O LORD, and deliver my soul; O save me for thy mercies' sake.

Stand up, O LORD, in thy wrath, lift up thyself, because of the indignation of mine enemies; arise up for me in the judgment that thou hast commanded.

{To the Chanter upon Gittith, a Psalm of David} O LORD our governour; how excellent is thy name in all the world; thou hast set thy glory above the heavens!

For I will consider thy heavens, even the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained.

Thou makest him to have dominion of the works of thy hands; and thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet -

O LORD our governour, how excellent is thy name in all the world!

{To the Chanter upon Muthlabben, a Psalm of David} I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will speak of all thy marvelous works.

I will be glad and rejoice in thee; yea, my songs will I make of thy name, O thou most highest.

While mine enemies are driven back, they fall and perish at thy presence.

O thou enemy, thy destructions are come to a perpetual end; even as the cities which thou hast destroyed, their memorial is perished with them.

And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; for thou, LORD, hast never failed them that seek thee.

That I may show all thy praises within the ports of the daughter of Zion, I will rejoice in thy salvation.

Arise, LORD, and let no man have the upper hand; let the Heathen be judged in thy sight.

Why standest thou so far off, O LORD, and hidest thy face in the needful time of trouble?

His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above, out of his sight. Therefore defieth he all his enemies.

Surely thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest ungodliness and wrong, that thou mayest take the matter into thy hand. The poor committeth himself unto thee, for thou art the helper of the friendless.

{To the Chanter, a Psalm of David} How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? Forever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

But my trust is in thy mercy, and my heart is joyful in thy salvation.

{A Psalm of David} Lord, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle? Who shall rest upon thy holy hill?

For why? Thou shalt not leave my soul in hell, neither shalt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption.

Thou shalt show me the path of life; in thy presence is the fulness of joy, and at thy righthand there is pleasure for evermore.

Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; and let thine eyes look upon the thing that is equal.

Because of men's works that are done against the words of thy lips, I have kept me from the ways of the destroyer.

O hold thou up my goings in thy paths: that my footsteps slip not.

Show thy marvelous loving-kindness, thou that art the Saviour of them which put their trust in thee, from such as resist thy righthand.

Keep me as the apple of an eye; hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

Arise, LORD, disappoint him, and cast him down; deliver my soul with thy sword from the ungodly -

From the men of thy hand, O LORD, from the men, I say, and from the evil world, which have their portion in this life, whose bellies thou fillest with thy hid treasure.

They have children at their desire, and leave the rest of their substance for their babes. But as for me, I shall behold thy presence in righteousness: and when I awake up after thy likeness, I shall be satisfied with it.

The springs of waters were seen, and the foundations of the round world were discovered at thy chiding, O LORD, at the blasting of the breath of thy displeasures. {TYNDALE: And the bottom of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were seen, by the reason of the rebuking of the LORD, and through the blasting of the breath of his nostrils.}

For in thee I can discomfit a host of men, and with the help of my God I shall leap over the wall. {TYNDALE: With thy help I will run through a host of men, and by the aid of my God will spring over a wall.}

Thou hast given me the defense of thy salvation; thy right hand also shall hold me up, and thy loving correction shall make me great. {TYNDALE: And thou hast saved me with thy shield, and keptest me ever in meekness.}

For this cause will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the gentiles, and sing praises unto thy name. {TYNDALE: And therefore I will praise thee O LORD among the heathen, and will sing unto thy name.}

Great prosperity giveth he unto his king, and showeth loving-kindness unto David his anointed, and unto his seed for evermore. {TYNDALE: For thy great and manifold saving of thy king, and showing mercy unto thine anointed, even to David, and his seed forever.}

Moreover, by them is thy servant taught, and in keeping of them there is great reward.

Keep thy servant also from presumptuous sins, lest they get dominion over me: so shall I be undefiled and innocent from the great offense.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD; my strength and my redeemer.

Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah

Grant thee thy heart's desire, and fulfill all thy mind.

We will rejoice in thy health, and triumph in the name of the LORD our God! The LORD perform all thy petitions!

{To the Chanter, a Psalm of David} The King shall rejoice in thy strength, O LORD; exceeding glad shall he be of thy salvation.

His honour is great in thy salvation; glory and great worship shalt thou lay upon him.

For thou shalt give him everlasting felicity, and make him glad with the joy of thy countenance.

All thine enemies shall feel thine hand; thy righthand shall find out them that hate thee.
