Who has put wisdom in the inward parts? Or who has given understanding to the mind?

The wings of the ostrich wave proudly, [but] are they the pinions and plumage of love?

Can thou put a rope into his nose, or pierce his jaw through with a hook?

Out of his nostrils a smoke goes, as of a boiling pot and [burning] rushes.

He makes the deep to boil like a pot. He makes the sea like a pot of ointment.

I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees thee.

but his delight is in the law of LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.

The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

For LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

But thou, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory and he who lifts up of my head.

But know that LORD has set apart for himself him who is holy. LORD will hear when I call to him.

Stand in awe, and sin not. Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in LORD.

Thou have put gladness in my heart more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.

But as for me, in the abundance of thy loving kindness I will come into thy house. In thy fear I will worship toward thy holy temple.

But let all those who take refuge in thee rejoice. Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defend them. Let those also who love thy name be joyful in thee.

I am weary with my groaning. Every night I make my bed to swim. I water my couch with my tears.

All my enemies shall be put to shame and greatly troubled. They shall turn back. They shall be put to shame suddenly.

O let the wickedness of the wicked man come to an end, but establish thou the righteous man. For the righteous God tries the minds and hearts.

He has made a pit, and dug it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.

For thou have made him but little lower than [heavenly] agents, and crowned him with glory and honor.

Thou make him to have dominion over the works of thy hands. Thou have put all things under his feet.

but LORD will endure forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment,

And those who know thy name will put their trust in thee, for thou, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek thee.

The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.

Put them in fear, O LORD. Let the nations know themselves to be but men. Selah.

LORD tries the righteous man, but his soul hates the wicked man and him who loves violence.

But I have trusted in thy loving kindness. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor because LORD is his refuge.

in whose eyes a reprobate is despised, but who honors those who fear LORD, he that swears to his own hurt, and changes not,

They came upon me in the day of my calamity, but LORD was my stay.

For all his ordinances were before me, and I put not away his statutes from me.

For thou will save the afflicted people, but the haughty eyes thou will bring down.

They cried, but there was none to save, even to LORD, but he answered them not.

Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind. I cast them out as the mire of the streets.

Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses, but we will make mention of the name of LORD our God.

They are bowed down and fallen, but we are risen, and stand upright.

O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou answer not, and in the night season, and I am not silent.

But thou are holy, O thou who inhabit the praises of Israel.

They cried to thee, and were delivered. They trusted in thee, and were not put to shame.

But I am a worm, and no man, a reproach of men, and despised by the people.

But thou are he who took me out of the womb. Thou made me trust upon my mother's breasts.

But be thou not far off, O LORD. O thou my succor, hasten thee to help me.

For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, neither has he hid his face from him, but when he cried to him, he heard.

O my God, in thee I have trusted. Let me not be put to shame. Let not my enemies triumph over me.

Yea, none who wait for thee shall be put to shame. They shall be put to shame who deal treacherously without cause.

O keep my soul, and deliver me. Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee.

But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

Hide not thy face from me. Put not thy servant away in anger. Thou have been my help. Cast me not off, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.

To thee, O LORD, I will call. My rock, be not thou deaf to me, lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like those who go down into the pit.

Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.

O LORD, thou have brought up my soul from Sheol. Thou have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy [is] in the morning.

What profit is there in my blood when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? Shall it declare thy truth?

In thee, O LORD, do I take refuge. Let me never be put to shame. Deliver me in thy righteousness.

I hate those who regard lying vanities, but I trust in LORD.

But I trusted in thee, O LORD. I said, Thou are my God.

Let me not be put to shame, O LORD, for I have called upon thee. Let the wicked be put to shame. Let them be silent in Sheol.

Become ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding, whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, [else] they will not come near to thee.

Many sorrows shall be to the wicked, but he who trusts in LORD, loving kindness shall encompass him about.

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but those who seek LORD shall not want any good thing.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but LORD delivers him out of them all.

Let them be put to shame and brought to dishonor who seek after my soul. Let them be turned back and confounded who devise my hurt.

For without cause they have hid their net for me [in] a pit. Without cause have they dug [a pit] for my soul.

But as for me, when they were sick my clothing was sackcloth. I afflicted my soul with fasting, and my prayer returned into my own bosom.

But in my adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together. The wretches gathered themselves together against me, and I knew [it] not. They tore me, and ceased not.

For they speak not peace, but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.

Let them be put to shame and confounded together who rejoice at my hurt. Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me.

He devises iniquity upon his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He does not abhor evil.

For evil-doers shall be cut off, but those who wait for LORD, they shall inherit the land.

But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but LORD upholds the righteous.

They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of LORD [is] as the fat of lambs: they shall disintegrate; they shall disintegrate away into smoke.

The wicked man borrows, and pays not again, but the righteous man deals graciously, and gives.

For LORD loves justice, and forsakes not his sanctified. They are preserved forever, but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

But I passed by, and, lo, he was not. Yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

But the salvation of the righteous is of LORD. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble,

But I, as a deaf man, hear not. And I am as a mute man who opens not his mouth.

But my enemies are energetic, [and] are strong, and those who hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and he set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in LORD.

Sacrifice and offering thou did not desire, {but a body thou have prepared for me (LXX/NT)}. Whole burnt-offering and sacrifice for sin thou did not require.

Let them be put to shame and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.

But I am poor and needy, [yet] LORD thinks upon me. Thou are my help and my deliverer. Make no delay, O my God.

LORD will support him upon the bed of languishing. Thou will make all his bed in his sickness.

But thou, O LORD, have mercy upon me, and raise me up that I may requite them.

Thou drove out the nations with thy hand, but thou planted them. Thou afflicted the peoples, but thou spread them abroad.

For they did not get the land in possession by their own sword, nor did their own arm save them, but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou were favorable to them.

But thou have saved us from our adversaries, and have put them to shame who hate us.

But now thou have cast off, and brought us to dishonor, and go not forth with our armies.

But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me. Selah.

But to the wicked man God says, What have thou to do to declare my statutes, and that thou have taken my covenant in thy mouth,

These things thou have done, and I kept silence. Thou thought that I was altogether such a one as thyself. [But] I will reprove thee, and set [them] in order before thine eyes.

Lo, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the loving kindness of God forever and ever.

There they were in great fear, where no fear was, for God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against thee. Thou have put them to shame because God has rejected them.

But it was thou, a man my equal, my companion, and my familiar friend.

He has put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him. He has profaned his covenant.

His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.
