By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?

To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness in which there is no man;

Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in the dust,

Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.

Canst thou draw out leviathan with a hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?

Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that which I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

Therefore take to you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer for yourselves a burnt-offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.

The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjaminite. O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:

He made a pit, and digged it, and hath fallen into the ditch which he made.

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers; the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer from them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:

The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.

I will wash my hands in innocence: so will I compass thy altar, O LORD:

Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!

I will instruct thee, and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with my eye.

Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near to thee.

For without cause they have hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.

Many, O LORD, my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are toward us, they cannot be reckoned up in order to thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.

To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves. My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made concerning the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

Thy arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; by which the people fall under thee.

All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made thee glad.

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

Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst of which they have fallen themselves. Selah.

Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.

Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.

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.

The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.

He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.

Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.

Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, by which thou didst confirm thy inheritance, when it was weary.

Why leap ye, ye lofty hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yes, the LORD will dwell in it for ever.

Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.

To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: they that would destroy me, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.

Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.

Be thou my strong habitation, to which I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.

My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.

Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old: the rod of thy inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, in which thou hast dwelt.

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

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

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

And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.

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

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

And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever.

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

And render to our neighbors seven-fold into their bosom their reproach, with which they have reproached thee, O Lord.

And the vineyard which thy right hand planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.

Yes, the LORD will give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.

Lord, where are thy former loving-kindnesses, which thou didst swear to David in thy truth?

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

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep; in the morning they are like grass which groweth.

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

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

Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?

I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.

They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys to the place which thou hast founded for them.

He sendeth 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 maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.

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

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

So is this great and wide sea, in which are creeping animals innumerable, both small and great beasts.

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

That which thou givest them, they gather: thou openest thy hand, they are filled with good.

He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.

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

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

For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up its waves.

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

Let it be to him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle with which he is girded continually.

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

The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.

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

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

So shall I have with which to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.

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

My hands also will I lift to thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.

ZAIN. Remember the word to thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.

The proud have digged pits for me, which are not according to thy law.

A Song of degrees. They that trust in the LORD, shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

The LORD hath done great things for us; of which we are glad.

Let them be as the grass upon the house-tops, which withereth before it groweth up:

With which the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves, his bosom.

My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works thy own hands.
