{A Psalm of David.} Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

Deliver your people! Empower the nation that belongs to you! Care for them like a shepherd and carry them in your arms at all times!

He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.

Lord, when You showed Your favor,
You made me stand like a strong mountain;
when You hid Your face, I was terrified.

I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.

I have heard the slander of many; it is like terror all around me, as they conspire together and plot to take my life.

For the weight of your hand was on me day and night; my body became dry like the earth in summer. (Selah.)

I will instruct and teach you about how you should live. I will advise you as I look you in the eye.

Do not be like the horse or like the mule which have no understanding,
Whose trappings include bridle and rein to hold them in check,
Otherwise they will not come near to you.

[He] gathered the waters of the sea like a heap. [He] put [the] deeps in storehouses.

Look, the Lord takes notice of his loyal followers, those who wait for him to demonstrate his faithfulness

Let thy merciful kindness, O LORD, be upon us, like as we do put our trust in thee.

Those who look to Him are radiant with joy;
their faces will never be ashamed.

Fear Jehovah, ye His holy ones, For there is no lack to those fearing Him.

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

Let them be like chaff before [the] wind, with the angel of Yahweh {driving them}.

All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?

I went about grieving as if for my friend or brother;
I was bowed down with grief,
like one mourning a mother.

Like the profane mockers in feasts, They gnashed upon me with their teeth.

Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.

Do not let my deceitful enemies rejoice over me;
do not let those who hate me without cause
look at me maliciously.

Transgression speaks [like an oracle] to the wicked (godless) [deep] within his heart;
There is no fear (dread) of God before his eyes.

Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.

For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

Then he will bring forth your righteousness like the light, and your justice like the noonday.

For those who do evil will be cut off,
But those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land.

For yet a little while and the wicked one will be gone [forever];
Though you look carefully where he used to be, he will not be [found].

For the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume, like smoke shall they consume away.

Look unto Jehovah, and keep His way, And He doth exalt thee to possess the land, In the wicked being cut off -- thou seest!

I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

Observe [the] blameless and look at [the] upright, for [there is] a future for a man of peace.

For my iniquities have gone over my head [like the waves of a flood];
As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me.

But I, like a deaf man, do not hear;
I am like a mute man who does not open his mouth.

Yes, I am like a man who does not hear,
In whose mouth are no arguments.

Look, you have made my days [mere] handbreadths, and my lifespan as nothing next to you. Surely every person standing firm [is] complete vanity. Selah

“Surely every man walks around like a shadow [in a charade];
Surely they make an uproar for nothing;
Each one builds up riches, not knowing who will receive them.

When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.

Hear my prayer, Jehovah, and give ear unto my cry; be not silent at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, a sojourner, like all my fathers.

Look away from me, and let me recover strength, before I go hence and be no more.

O LORD my God, great are the wondrous works which thou hast done, like as be also thy thoughts, which are to us-ward; and yet there is no man that ordereth them unto thee. If I should declare them, and speak of them, they should be more than I am able to express.

Then I said, "Look, I come. In [the] scroll of [the] book it is written concerning me:

I have brought good tidings [of] righteousness in the great congregation. Look, I have not shut my lips. O Yahweh, {you surely know that}.

For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.

Like the desire of the roe for the water-streams, so is my soul's desire for you, O God.

These things I [vividly] remember as I pour out my soul;
How I used to go along before the great crowd of people and lead them in procession to the house of God [like a choirmaster before his singers, timing the steps to the music and the chant of the song],
With the voice of joy and thanksgiving, a great crowd keeping a festival.

The cruel words of my haters are like a crushing of my bones; when they say to me every day, Where is your God?

Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen.

Truly, because of you we are put to death every day; we are numbered like sheep for destruction.

Why do you look the other way, and ignore the way we are oppressed and mistreated?

My heart overflows with a good theme;
I address my psalm to the King.
My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.

Good luck have thou with thine honour; ride on with the truth, meekness and righteousness: and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

All your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia. Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad.

Listen, O daughter, and look; and bow down your ear; and forget your own people and your father's house.

Look! There is a river whose streams make the city of God rejoice, even the Holy Place of the Most High.

The nations were angry, the kingdoms were moved; at the sound of his voice the earth became like wax.

It is lofty and pleasing to look at, a source of joy to the whole earth. Mount Zion resembles the peaks of Zaphon; it is the city of the great king.

Look! The kings assembled;
they advanced together.

Trembling seized them there,
agony like that of a woman in labor,

Like as we have heard, so see we in the city of the LORD of Hosts, in the city of our God. God upholdeth the same forever. Selah.

Your name, God, like Your praise,
reaches to the ends of the earth;
Your right hand is filled with justice.

For he sees wise men die; likewise the fool and the animal-like ones perish, and leave their wealth to others.

Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.

Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.

you will end up like your ancestors' generation, never again to see the light of day!

Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.

It is not concerning [a lack of] your sacrifices [that] I rebuke you, and your burnt offerings [are] before me continually.

These thou didst, and I kept silent, Thou hast thought that I am like thee, I reprove thee, and set in array before thine eyes.

He who is sacrificing praise honoureth Me, As to him who maketh a way, I cause him to look on the salvation of God!

Look, I was guilty of sin from birth, a sinner the moment my mother conceived me.

Look, you desire integrity in the inner man; you want me to possess wisdom.

Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp rasor, working deceitfully.

The righteous will look on with awe
and will ridicule him:

"Look, the man [who] would not make God his refuge, but he trusted in the greatness of his wealth; he took refuge in his destructiveness."

But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

I will always give thanks unto thee, for that thou hast done: and I will hope in thy name, for thy saints like it well.

Will those who do evil ever learn? They devour my people like they devour bread, and never call on God.

Then they will be filled with terror—
terror like no other—
because God will scatter
the bones of those who besiege you.
You will put them to shame,
for God has rejected them.

Look, God is my helper; the Lord is with those who are guarding my life.

And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.

Look, I would flee far away. I would dwell in the wilderness. Selah

But it was you, a man like me, my companion, and my familiar friend.

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.

I am surrounded by lions. I lie down with those who burn with fire that is, with people whose teeth are like spears and arrows whose tongues are like sharp swords.

Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;

Let them run [away] like water [that] runs off. [When] he bends [the bow], let his arrows [be] as though they were cut off.

As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.

Before they are conscious of it, let them be cut down like thorns; let a strong wind take them away like waste growth.

For look, they lie in wait for my life. The mighty attack against me, not [because of] my transgression or my sin, O Yahweh.

Without my fault they run and prepare themselves; awaken to help me, and look on me.

They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

Look, they pour out [talk] with their mouth. Swords [are] on their lips, for [they say], "Who hears?"

O my Strength, let me look to You, for God is my strong tower.

God doth go before me, He causeth me to look on mine enemies.

And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

You will add days to the days of the king, his years like [those of] {many generations}.

How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay him , all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

Thus do I look for thee in thy Sanctuary, that I might behold thy power and glory.

Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

They strengthen for themselves an evil thing, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, 'Who doth look at it?'

And all men shall fear, and they shall announce the work of God: and they shall look at his doing.
