Who hath first given to me, that I should repay him? Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.

I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now mine eye seeth thee:

And it came to pass after Jehovah had spoken these words to Job, that Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, Mine anger is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken rightly of me, like my servant Job.

And all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house, and they condoled with him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him; and every one gave him a piece of money, and every one a golden ring.

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, and standeth not in the way of sinners, and sitteth not in the seat of scorners;

Arise, Jehovah; save me, my God! For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheekbone, thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.

Ye sons of men, till when is my glory to be put to shame? How long will ye love vanity, will ye seek after a lie? Selah.

But know that Jehovah hath set apart the pious man for himself: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.

Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth a man of blood and deceit.

For thou, Jehovah, wilt bless the righteous man; with favour wilt thou surround him as with a shield.

Mine eye wasteth away through grief; it hath grown old because of all mine oppressors.

All mine enemies shall be ashamed and tremble exceedingly; they will turn, they will be ashamed suddenly.

Arise, Jehovah, in thine anger; lift thyself up against the raging of mine oppressors, and awake for me: thou hast commanded judgment.

Jehovah shall minister judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity which is in me.

Oh let the wrong of the wicked come to an end, and establish thou the righteous man; even thou that triest the hearts and reins, the righteous God.

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

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished at thy presence:

Be gracious unto me, O Jehovah; consider mine affliction from them that hate me, lifting me up from the gates of death:

Arise, Jehovah; let not man prevail: let the nations be judged in thy sight.

Put them in fear, Jehovah: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

Break thou the arm of the wicked, and as for the evil man, seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed one, that the man of the earth may terrify no more.

Jehovah is in the temple of his holiness; Jehovah, his throne is in the heavens: his eyes behold, his eyelids try the children of men.

{To the chief Musician. Upon Sheminith. A Psalm of David.} Save, Jehovah, for the godly man is gone; for the faithful have failed from among the children of men.

The wicked walk about on every side, when vileness is exalted among the children of men.

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, with sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

Consider, answer me, O Jehovah my God! lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him! lest mine adversaries be joyful when I am moved.

Jehovah looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept from the paths of the violent man.

From men who are thy hand, O Jehovah, from men of this age: their portion is in this life, and their belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure; they have their fill of sons, and leave the rest of their substance to their children.

I will call upon Jehovah, who is to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

And he sent his arrows, and scattered mine enemies; and he shot forth lightnings, and discomfited them.

And I was upright with him, and kept myself from mine iniquity.

With the gracious thou dost shew thyself gracious; with the upright man thou dost shew thyself upright;

Who teacheth my hands to war, and mine arms bend a bow of brass;

Thou didst enlarge my steps under me, and mine ankles have not wavered.

I pursued mine enemies, and overtook them; and I turned not again till they were consumed.

And mine enemies didst thou make to turn their backs unto me, and those that hated me I destroyed.

Who hath delivered me from mine enemies: yea, thou hast lifted me up above them that rose up against me; from the man of violence hast thou delivered me.

And he is as a bridegroom going forth from his chamber; he rejoiceth as a strong man to run the race.

Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

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

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

My God, I confide in thee; let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

For thy name's sake, O Jehovah, thou wilt indeed pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

What man is he that feareth Jehovah? him will he instruct in the way that he should choose.

Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah; for he will bring my feet out of the net.

Consider mine affliction and my travail, and forgive all my sins.

Consider mine enemies, for they are many, and they hate me with cruel hatred.

{A Psalm of David.} Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have confided in Jehovah: I shall not slip.

For thy loving-kindness is before mine eyes, and I have walked in thy truth.

Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood;

But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity. Redeem me, and be gracious unto me.

When evil-doers, mine adversaries and mine enemies, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; and I will offer in his tent sacrifices of shouts of joy: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms unto Jehovah.

Teach me thy way, Jehovah, and lead me in an even path, because of mine enemies.

Deliver me not over to the will of mine adversaries; for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out violence.

{A Psalm of David: dedication-song of the house.} I will extol thee, Jehovah; for thou hast delivered me, and hast not made mine enemies to rejoice over me.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy loving-kindness, for thou hast seen mine affliction; thou hast known the troubles of my soul,

Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am in trouble: mine eye wasteth away with vexation, my soul and my belly.

For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength faileth through mine iniquity, and my bones are wasted.

More than to all mine oppressors, I am become exceedingly a reproach, even to my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that see me without flee from me.

I am forgotten in their heart as a dead man; I am become like a broken vessel.

My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from my persecutors.

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!

Thou keepest them concealed in the secret of thy presence from the conspiracies of man; thou hidest them in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah reckoneth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile!

I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity I covered not; I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah, and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

I will instruct thee and teach thee the way in which thou shalt go; I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee.

Jehovah looketh from the heavens; he beholdeth all the sons of men:

The king is not saved by the multitude of his forces; a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

Taste and see that Jehovah is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him!

What man is he that desireth life, and loveth days, that he may see good?

But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth; I chastened my soul with fasting, and my prayer returned into mine own bosom:

Let not them that are wrongfully mine enemies rejoice over me; let them not wink with the eye that hate me without cause.

Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine adversity; let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.

Thy righteousness is like the high mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: thou, Jehovah, preservest man and beast.

How precious is thy loving-kindness, O God! So the sons of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.

Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him that prospereth in his way, because of the man that bringeth mischievous devices to pass.

The steps of a man are established by Jehovah, and he delighteth in his way:

Mark the perfect, and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace;

For mine iniquities are gone over my head: as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

My heart throbbeth, my strength hath left me; and the light of mine eyes, it also is no more with me.

My lovers and mine associates stand aloof from my stroke; and my kinsmen stand afar off.

But I, as a deaf man, hear not; and am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

For I will declare mine iniquity, I am grieved for my sin.

But mine enemies are lively, they are strong; and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied:

Make me to know, Jehovah, mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: I shall know how frail I am.

Behold, thou hast made my days as hand-breadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before thee; verily, every man, even the high placed, is altogether vanity. Selah.

Verily, man walketh in a vain show; verily they are disquieted in vain; he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.

When thou with rebukes dost correct a man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely, every man is vanity. Selah.

Blessed is the man that hath made Jehovah his confidence, and turneth not to the proud, and to such as turn aside to lies.

For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I cannot see; they are more than the hairs of my head: and my heart hath failed me.

Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;

Mine enemies wish me evil: When will he die, and his name perish?
