They were dismayed, they responded no more, they suffered speech to forsake them;

Though I waited, yet could they not speak, Surely they came to a stand, they responded no more.

Lo! my bosom, is like wine not opened, Like new wine-skins, it will burst.

Let me be partial to no man, and, unto no son of earth, give flattering titles,

Surely I know not how to give flattering titles, How soon might my Maker take me away!

Mine utterances come straight from mine own heart, and, what I know, my lips have truly spoken;

Pure am, I, without transgression, - Clean am, I, and have no iniquity;

Hear, ye wise men, my words, and, ye who know, give ear unto me;

What is right, let us choose for ourselves, Let us know, among ourselves, what is good;

Nay, verily, GOD, will not condemn unjustly, - nor, the Almighty, pervert justice.

For he hath shewn no respect of persons unto princes, neither hath he recognised the rich rather than the poor? For, the work of his hands, are they all.

No darkness, and no death-shade, where the workers of iniquity may hide.

For, unto no man, doth he appoint a repetition, - in going unto GOD in judgment;

What I see not, do, thou, shew me, If, perverseness, I have wrought, I will do it no more?

But, now, because it is not so, thou sayest - His anger hath punished, and yet hath he not at all known of transgression;

But, if they would not hearken, by a weapon, should they pass away, and breathe their last, no one knowing.

Yea he might even have allured thee - out of the mouth of straitness, into a wide space - no narrowness there, - and, the food set down on thy table, should have been full of fatness.

Will he value thy riches? Nay not precious ore, nor all the forces of strength.

Lo, GOD, is greater than we can know, The number of his years, even past finding out!

GOD thundereth with his voice, wonderfully, Doing great things, which we cannot know;

Canst thou got to know of GOD'S giving charge over them, or of the causing of the lightning of his cloud to shine forth?

Canst thou get to know concerning the poisings of the thick cloud, the wonders of one who is perfect in knowledge?

Let us know what we shall say to him, We cannot set in order, by reason of darkness.

Yet, now, men see not the light, bright though it is in the skies, when, a wind, hath passed over, and cleansed them.

And said - Hitherto, shalt thou come, and no further, - and, here, shalt thou set a limit to the majesty of thy waves?

Since thy days began hast thou commanded the morning? or caused the dawn to know its place;

To give rain over the no-man's land, the desert, where no son of earth is;

For GOD hath suffered her to forget wisdom, and given her no share in understanding.

Lo! I am of no account, what shall I reply to thee? My hand, have I laid on my mouth:

Lay thou upon him thy hand, remember the battle - no more!

I know that, all things, thou canst do, and that no purpose can be withholden from thee.

Who is it that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore, have I declared, but not understood, things too wonderful for me, which I could not know.

By the hearing of the ear, had I heard thee, but, now, mine own eye, hath seen thee.

Now, therefore, take unto you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go unto my servant Job, and ye shall offer up an ascending-sacrifice in your own behalf, and, Job my servant, shall pray over you, - for, him, will I accept, that I may not deal out to you disgrace, because ye have not spoken concerning me the thing that is right, like my servant Job.

And there were found no women so fair as the daughters of Job, in all the land, - and their father gave them an inheritance, in the midst of their brethren.

Now, therefore, ye kings, show your prudence, Be admonished, ye judges of earth:

Know ye, then, that Yahweh hath set apart the man of lovingkindness for himself: Yahweh, will hear, when I cry to him.

Thou hast put gladness in my heart, - beyond the season when, their corn and their new wine, have increased.

For, not a GOD finding pleasure in lawlessness, art thou, and wrong can be no guest of thine:

For, in death, is no remembrance of thee, - In hades, who shall give thanks unto thee?

Lest one tear, as a lion, my soul, - and there be no deliverer to rescue.

Thus let them who know thy Name, put confidence in thee, that thou hast not forsaken the searchers for thee, O Yahweh.

Appoint, O Yahweh, a terror for them, - Let the nations know that they are men. Selah.

He hath said in his heart, I shall not be shaken, - From generation to generation, shall I be in no misfortune.

To vindicate the fatherless and the crushed, A man of the earth, shall, no further, cause terror!

O save Yahweh, for the man of lovingkindness, is no more, for the faithful, have vanished, from among the sons of men.

Because of violence done to the poor, because of the crying of the needy, Now, will I arise! O may Yahweh say, - I will place him in safety - let him puff at him!

The impious hath said in his heart - There is no God! They have acted corruptly, they have done an abominable deed, there is none that doeth good.

Thou wilt cause me to know, the path of life, - Fulness of joys before thee, Pleasures at thy right hand evermore.

As for our own goings, now, have they surrounded us, - Their eyes, they fix, bending to the earth:

There is no speech, and there are no words, - Unheard is their voice!

Now, do I know that Yahweh, hath saved, his Anointed One, - He answereth him out of his holy heavens, by the mighty saving deeds of his own right hand.

My God! I keep crying - By day, and thou dost not answer, and, By night, and there is no rest for me.

But, I, am a worm and no one, a reproach of men, and despised of a people;

Yea, though I walk through a valley death-shadowed, I will fear no harm, for, thou, art with me, Thy rod and thy staff, they, comfort me.

Thy ways, O Yahweh, let me know, Thy paths, teach thou me:

Intimacy with Yahweh, have they who revere him, His covenant also, he letteth them know.

Now, therefore, shall my head be raised high above my foes round about me, and I will sacrifice in his tent the sacrifices of triumphant joy, I will sing and touch the strings, to Yahweh.

The voice of Yahweh, is breaking cedars, Now hath Yahweh, broken down, the cedars of Lebanon!

How happy the son of earth, to whom Yahweh will not reckon iniquity! and in whose spirit is no guile!

Sing unto him, a song that is new, With skill, sweep the strings, with loud noise.

Revere Yahweh, ye his holy ones, For there is no want to them who revere him.

There shall reach him a ruin he could not know, - Yea, his own net which he hath hidden, shall capture him, Into that ruin, shall he fall!

There rise up witnesses helping forward violence and wrong, What I know not, they demand of me:

But, in mine overthrow, have they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together, - There gathered themselves together against me foolish men, and I knew it not, They have torn in pieces, and not been silent;

For, no salvation, will they utter, - But, against the quiet of the land, deceitful things, do they devise;

Declareth the transgression of the lawless one, within my heart, There is, no dread of God, before his eyes;

Prolong thy lovingkindness unto them who know thee, - and thy righteousness, to the upright in heart.

There is no soundness in my flesh, By reason of thine indignation, There is no peace in my bones, By reason of my sin;

For, my loins, are filled with inflammation, and there is no soundness in my flesh:

Thus have I become as a man who cannot hear, in whose mouth are no arguments:

Let me know, O Yahweh, mine end, And the measure of my days - what it is, I would know how short-lived I am.

Now, therefore, for what have I waited, O My Lord? My hope, is, in thee.

Look away from me that I may brighten up, Ere yet I depart and am no more.

Then put he, into my mouth, a new song, Praise to our God, - Many shall see and revere, And shall trust in Yahweh.

Mighty things, hast thou done - Thou, Yahweh my God, Thy wonderful doings and thy purposes to-wards us, There is no setting them in order unto thee - I would tell, and would speak! - They are too great to rehearse.

An infliction of the Abandoned One hath been fixed upon him, and, now that he hath lien down, he will not again rise.

Hereby, do I know that thou delightest in me, In that mine enemy shall not raise a shout over me.

But nay thou hast rejected, and confounded us, And wilt not go forth with our hosts;

Thou dost sell thy people for, no-value, And hast not made increase by their price.

Let be! and know that, I, am God, I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

Now have the heavens declared his righteousness, Because, God, is, about to judge. Selah.

I know every bird of the mountains, And, the moving things of the plain, are with me:

Lo! faithfulness, hast thou desired in the inward parts, Yea, in the hidden part, wilt thou cause me to know, wisdom.

The impious hath said in his heart, There is no God! They have acted corruptly, They have wrought abominable perversity, There is none that doeth good: -

There have they been in great dread where no dread was, Because, God, hath scattered the bones of thy besieger, - Thou hast put him to shame, Because, God, had, rejected, them.

GOD will hear, Yea He will humble them who aforetime sat enthroned . Selah.With whom are no changings, Neither have they revered God.

Then, shall my foes turn back, in the day I cry, This, I know, for God is mine!

For no iniquity, do they run that they may take their stand, Rouse thyself to meet me, and see.

Bring to a full end in wrath, Bring to a full end, that they be no more, - That men may know that, God, is ruling in Jacob, Unto the ends of the earth. Selah.

I have sunk in deep swamp, Where there is no place to stand, I have come into abysses of waters, Where a flood hath overflowed me;

My month, shall relate thy righteousness, All the day, thy deliverance, For I know not the numbers.

Even now, therefore, that I am old and grayheaded, O God, do not forsake me, - Until I tell of thine arm unto a new generation, Unto every one that is to come, thy might;

May righteousness, in his days, blossom forth, And abundance of peace, till there be no moon.

Because he Rescueth, The needy from the rich, The oppressed, who hath no helper;

For they have no pangs in their death, And vigorous is their body;

And they say - How doth GOD know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?

But, now, the doors thereof all together, with axes and hammers, they batter down.

Our own signs, have we not seen, - There is no longer a prophet, - Neither is there with us, one who knoweth - How long!

Now hath come into Salem, his pavilion, And his dwelling-place into Zion.
