For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.

I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, Yahweh;

Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.

Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the sons of men!

I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.

Don't be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.

I said, "I will watch my ways, so that I don't sin with my tongue. I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me."

Many, Yahweh, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can't be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.

Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity. Cleanse me from my sin.

Against you, and you only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in your sight; that you may be proved right when you speak, and justified when you judge.

Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

Let me hear joy and gladness, That the bones which you have broken may rejoice.

which doesn't listen to the voice of charmers, no matter how skillful the charmer may be.

Let them be like a snail which melts and passes away, like the stillborn child, who has not seen the sun.

The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance. He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked;

Your God has commanded your strength. Strengthen, God, that which you have done for us.

To him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which are of old; behold, he utters his voice, a mighty voice.

Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.

For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together,

My lips shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you!

Remember your congregation, which you purchased of old, which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your inheritance; Mount Zion, in which you have lived.

Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.

For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a teaching in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children;

He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.

He brought them to the border of his sanctuary, to this mountain, which his right hand had taken.

So that he forsook the tent of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;

But chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion which he loved.

He built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he has established forever.

Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their bosom their reproach with which they have reproached you, Lord.

the stock which your right hand planted, the branch that you made strong for yourself.

Yes, Yahweh will give that which is good. Our land will yield its increase.

Lord, where are your former loving kindnesses, which you swore to David in your faithfulness?

With which your enemies have mocked, Yahweh, with which they have mocked the footsteps of your anointed one.

For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night.

Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute?

I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on the housetop.

This will be written for the generation to come. A people which will be created will praise Yah.

The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which you had assigned to them.

Yahweh's trees are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;

You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the animals of the forest prowl.

There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable living things, both small and large animals.

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

the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac,

They served their idols, which became a snare to them.

Moab is my wash pot. I will toss my sandal on Edom. I will shout over Philistia."

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

I reach out my hands for your commandments, which I love. I will meditate on your statutes. ZAYIN

Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion, which can't be moved, but remains forever.

with which the reaper doesn't fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.

Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me; your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever. Don't forsake the works of your own hands. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

Set a watch, Yahweh, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.

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

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, you knew my path. In the way in which I walk, they have hidden a snare for me.

Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning, for I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you.

He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.

Discretion will watch over you. Understanding will keep you,

which having no chief, overseer, or ruler,

There are six things which Yahweh hates; yes, seven which are an abomination to him:

When you walk, it will lead you. When you sleep, it will watch over you. When you awake, it will talk with you.

"Come, eat some of my bread, Drink some of the wine which I have mixed!

There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.

Yahweh's eyes are everywhere, keeping watch on the evil and the good.

There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.

That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness. A poor man is better than a liar.

The eyes of Yahweh watch over knowledge; but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful.

Don't move the ancient boundary stone, which your fathers have set up.

Why do you set your eyes on that which is not? For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky.

The morsel which you have eaten you shall vomit up, and lose your good words.

My son, eat honey, for it is good; the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to your taste:

"There are four things which are little on the earth, but they are exceedingly wise:

"There are three things which are stately in their march, four which are stately in going:

The lion, which is mightiest among animals, and doesn't turn away for any;

The words of king Lemuel; the oracle which his mother taught him.

What does man gain from all his labor in which he labors under the sun?

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

Is there a thing of which it may be said, "Behold, this is new?" It has been long ago, in the ages which were before us.

That which is crooked can't be made straight; and that which is lacking can't be counted.

I turned myself to consider wisdom, madness, and folly: for what can the king's successor do? Just that which has been done long ago.

I hated all my labor in which I labored under the sun, because I must leave it to the man who comes after me.

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

Therefore I began to cause my heart to despair concerning all the labor in which I had labored under the sun.

For what has a man of all his labor, and of the striving of his heart, in which he labors 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 who works in that in which he labors?

I have seen the burden which God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.
