Why should the nations say, Where is their God? let him be known among the nations in our sight by the revenging of the blood of your servants which is shed.

And render unto our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, with which they have reproached you, O Lord.

And the vineyard which your right hand has planted, and the branch that you made strong for yourself.

Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield its increase.

All nations which you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord; and shall glorify your name.

Lord, where are your former lovingkindnesses, which you swore unto David in your truth?

With which your enemies have reproached, O LORD; with which they have reproached the footsteps of your anointed.

You carry them away as with a flood; they are like a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which grows up.

Make us glad according to the days in which you have afflicted us, and the years in which we have seen evil.

The LORD reigns, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, with which he has girded himself: the world also is established, that it cannot be moved.

Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with you, which frames mischief by a law?

They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which you have founded for them.

He sends the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.

By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.

And wine that makes glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengthens man's heart.

The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;

You make darkness, and it is night: in which all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.

So is this great and wide sea, which teems with things innumerable, both small and great.

There go the ships: there is that leviathan, which you have made to play therein.

That which you give them they gather: you open your hand, they are filled with good.

He has remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.

Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;

And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.

And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.

Let it be unto him as the garment which covers him, and for a belt with which he is girded continually.

This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.

The stone which the builders rejected has become the head stone of the corner.

This is the day which the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Turn away my reproach which I fear: for your judgments are good.

And I will delight myself in your commandments, which I have loved.

My hands also will I lift up unto your commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in your statutes.

[Zayin] Remember the word unto your servant, upon which you have caused me to hope.

The proud have dug pits for me, which is not after your law.

[A song of ascents.] I will lift up my eyes unto the hills, from which comes my help.

[A song of ascents.] They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abides forever.

Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withers before it grows up:

With which the reaper fills not his hand; nor he that binds sheaves his bosom.

The LORD will perfect that which concerns me: your mercy, O LORD, endures forever: forsake not the works of your own hands.

Let the righteous strike 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 against their evil.

Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the traps of the workers of iniquity.

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then you knew my path. In the way in which I walked have they secretly laid a snare for me.

Cause me to hear your lovingkindness in the morning; for in you do I trust: cause me to know the way in which I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto you.

He has also established them forever and ever: he has made a decree which shall not pass.

So are the ways of everyone that is greedy of gain; which takes away the life of its owners.

Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mixed.

The slothful man roasts not that which he took in hunting: but the possessions of a diligent man are precious.

There is a way which seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

Wisdom rests in the heart of him that has understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.

He that has pity upon the poor lends unto the LORD; and that which he has given will he pay him again.

A wise man scales the city of the mighty, and casts down the stronghold in which they trust.

Remove not the ancient landmark, which your fathers have set.

Will you set your eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

The morsel which you have eaten shall you vomit up, and waste your sweet words.

My son, eat honey because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to your taste:

These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied.

Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but which is able to stand before jealousy?

A poor man that oppresses the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaves no food.

There are three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:

There are four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:

There are three things which are stately in stride, yea, four are stately in their walk:

A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turns not away from any;

Give not your strength unto women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.

What profit has a man of all his labor which he takes under the sun?

The thing that has been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

Is there any thing of which it may be said, See, this is new? it has been already of old time, which was before us.

That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is lacking cannot be numbered.

I sought in my heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting my heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the sons of men, which they should do under heaven all the days of their life.

I made myself pools of water, with which to water the forest that brings forth trees:

And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can a man do that comes after the king? even that which has been already done.

For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool forever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how does the wise man die? as the fool.

Yea, I hated all my labor in which I had toiled under the sun: because I must leave it unto the man that shall be after me.

And who knows whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labor in which I have labored, and in which I have shown myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.

Therefore I gave my heart up to despair of all the labor in which I toiled under the sun.

For what has man for all his labor, and for the striving of his heart, with which he has labored under the sun?

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

What profit has he that works in that in which he labors?

I have seen the task, which God has given to the sons of men to be occupied in it.

That which has been is now; and that which is to be has already been; and God requires that which is past.

For that which befalls the sons of men befalls beasts; the same thing befalls them: as the one dies, so dies the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man has no advantage over a beast: for all is vanity.

When you vow a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he has no pleasure in fools: pay that which you have vowed.

There is a great evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept by their owners to their hurt.

As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing from his labor, which he may carry away in his hand.

Behold that which I have seen: it is good and fitting for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor that he takes under the sun all the days of his life, which God gives him: for this is his lot.

There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:

For who knows what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spends like a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?

Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he has made crooked?

That which is far off, and exceedingly deep, who can find it out?

Which yet my soul seeks, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.

For he knows not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?

All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time in which one man rules over another to his own hurt.

But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he fears not before God.

There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there are just men, unto whom it happens according to the work of the wicked; again, there are wicked men, to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.

Then I commended mirth, because a man has no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him in his labor all the days of his life, which God gives him under the sun.

Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of the life of your vanity, which he has given you under the sun, all the days of your vanity: for that is your portion in this life, and in your labor which you perform under the sun.

There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceeds from the ruler:

Curse not the king, no not even in your thought; and curse not the rich in your bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which has wings shall tell the matter.

In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening withhold not your hand: for you know not which shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both alike shall be good.

Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and terrors are in the way, and the almond tree shall blossom, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goes to his eternal home, and the mourners go about the streets:

The preacher sought to find acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.

The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails firmly fixed by the masters of assemblies, which are given by one shepherd.
