I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

I watch, and am become like a sparrow That is alone upon the house-top.

For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,

My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

For he will look down from his sanctuary above; from heaven the Lord will look toward earth,

They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:

Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

For look how high the heaven is in comparison of the earth; so great is his mercy also toward them that fear him.

Look how wide the east is from the west, so far hath he set our sins from us.

Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

As for man, his days [are] like the grass. As the flower of the field, so he blossoms.

Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

You covered the primeval ocean like a garment; the water stood above the mountains.

like wine that makes the heart of people happy, oil that makes the face glow, and food that sustains people.

These all look unto thee, that thou mayest give their food in its season:

At whose look the earth is shaking; at whose touch the mountains send out smoke.

like the covenant he made with Abraham, and his promise to Isaac.

He gave them hail for rain,
With flaming fire in their land.

He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.

Remember me, O Jehovah, With the favour of Thy people, Look after me in Thy salvation.

To look on the good of Thy chosen ones, To rejoice in the joy of Thy nation, To boast myself with Thine inheritance.

We are sinners like our fathers, we have done wrong, our acts are evil.

Therefore, they became unclean because of what they did; they have acted like whores by their evil deeds.

And he will look upon straits to them in his hearing their wailing.

They acted like fools in their rebellious ways, and suffered because of their sins.

They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end.

Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.

As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.

May it be for him like a garment [in which] he wraps, and a belt {he continually wears}.

I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.

And I am become a reproach unto them; when they look upon me they shake their heads.

My accusers will be clothed with disgrace;
they will wear their shame like a cloak.

The Lord has sworn an oath and will not take it back:
“Forever, You are a priest
like Melchizedek.”

Sustained is his heart -- he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.

Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,

Who humbleth himself to look on the heavens and on the earth?

The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.

Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?

They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.

Jehovah is for me among my helpers, And I -- I look on those hating me.

They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD; we wish you good luck, ye that be of the house of the LORD.

Then I would not be ashamed when I look to all your commands.

In the way of thy testimonies, have I rejoiced, Like as over all riches.

I will meditate on your precepts and look at your ways.

Uncover my eyes, that I may look at wonderful things from your law.

I am like a foreigner in this land. Do not hide your commands from me!

Look, I have longed for your precepts; revive me in your righteousness.

Their heart [is] insensitive like fat; As for me, I take delight in your law.

For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.

Support Thou me, and I am saved, And I look on Thy statutes continually.

Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.

My eyes fail as I look for your salvation and for your righteous promise.

Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.

I look forward to the night watches, when I may meditate on what you have said.

Look on my misery, and rescue me, for I do not ignore your instruction.

I look at the faithless with loathing, because they don't observe your word.

Look how I love your precepts, LORD; revive me according to your gracious love.

I [am] rejoicing over your word, like one who finds great spoil.

LORD, I look for thy saving health, and do after thy commandments.

I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.

Like a sharp arrow from a warrior, along with fiery coals from juniper trees!

A song of ascents. I look up toward the hills. From where does my help come?

Look, he will not slumber and he will not sleep-- he who protects Israel.

Jerusalem is built like a city that is all joined together as one;

A song of ascents. I look up toward you, the one enthroned in heaven.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers;
The trap is broken and we have escaped.

Those who trust in and rely on the Lord [with confident expectation]
Are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but remains forever.

{A Song of degrees.} When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

Restore, O Yahweh, our fortunes like the streams in the Negeb.

Look, children [are] the heritage of Yahweh; the fruit of the womb [is] a reward.

Like arrows in [the] hand of a warrior, so [are] the children of [one's] youth.

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

Look, for thus shall a man be blessed {who fears Yahweh}.

Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of thy life,

Let them be like grass on [the] housetops, that withers before it grows up,

So that they which go by, say not so much as, "the LORD prosper you, we wish you good luck in the name of the LORD."

I look for the LORD; my soul doth wait for him, and in his word is my trust.

My soul looks to the Lord more than watchmen look for the morning more, indeed, than watchmen for the morning.

LORD, my heart is not arrogant, nor do I look haughty. I do not aspire to great things, nor concern myself with things beyond my ability.

Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul; Like a weaned child with his mother, Like a weaned child is my soul within me.

Look, we heard of it in Ephrathah; we found her in the fields of Jaar.

Look, how good and how pleasant [it is] [when] brothers dwell together in unity.

It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;

Like the dew of Hermon, That cometh down upon the mountains of Zion: For there Jehovah commanded the blessing, Even life for evermore.

Look, bless Yahweh, all [you] the servants of Yahweh, who {serve} in the house of Yahweh by night.

They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.

Knowledge like this is too amazing for me. It is beyond my reach, and I cannot fathom it.

If I ascend to heaven, there you [are], and if I make my bed [in] Sheol, look! [There] you [are].

even the darkness is not dark to You.
The night shines like the day;
darkness and light are alike to You.

Look well if there be any way of wickedness in me; and lead me in the way everlasting.

They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.

Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.

Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don't let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.

Our bones lie scattered before the pit, like as when one graveth and diggeth up the ground.

But my eyes look to You, Lord God.
I seek refuge in You; do not let me die.

Look on my right hand, and see; For there is no man that knoweth me: Refuge hath failed me; No man careth for my soul.

For [the] enemy has pursued my soul; he has crushed my life to the ground. He has made me dwell in dark places like [those] long dead.

I reach out my hands to You;
My throat thirsts for You, as a parched land [thirsts for water]. Selah.
