{A Song of degrees. Of David.} I rejoiced when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah.

{A Song of degrees.} Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

{A Song of degrees. Of David.} If it had not been Jehovah who was for us oh let Israel say --

{A Song of degrees.} They that confide in Jehovah are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved; it abideth for ever.

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

{A Song of degrees. Of Solomon.} Unless Jehovah build the house, in vain do its builders labour in it; unless Jehovah keep the city, the keeper watcheth in vain:

{A Song of degrees.} Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, that walketh in his ways.

{A Song of degrees.} Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth oh let Israel say --

{A Song of degrees.} Out of the depths do I call upon thee, Jehovah.

{A Song of degrees. Of David.} Jehovah, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; neither do I exercise myself in great matters, and in things too wonderful for me.

{A Song of degrees.} Jehovah, remember for David all his affliction;

{A Song of degrees. Of David.} Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

{A Song of degrees.} Behold, bless Jehovah, all ye servants of Jehovah, who by night stand in the house of Jehovah.

For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that made us wail required mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

How should we sing a song of Jehovah's upon a foreign soil?

Remember, O Jehovah, against the sons of Edom, the day of Jerusalem; who said, Lay it bare, Lay it bare, down to its foundation!

Jehovah, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him, the son of man, that thou takest thought of him?

O God, I will sing a new song unto thee; with the ten-stringed lute will I sing psalms unto thee:

That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; our daughters as corner-columns, sculptured after the fashion of a palace:

Put not confidence in nobles, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

Hallelujah! Sing unto Jehovah a new song; sing his praise in the congregation of the godly.

Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

Proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel:

Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the teaching of thy mother;

My son, if sinners entice thee, consent not.

my son, walk not in the way with them, keep back thy foot from their path;

My son, if thou receivest my words, and layest up my commandments with thee,

My son, forget not my teaching, and let thy heart observe my commandments;

My son, despise not the instruction of Jehovah, neither be weary of his chastisement;

for whom Jehovah loveth he chasteneth, even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

My son, let them not depart from thine eyes; keep sound wisdom and discretion:

For I was a son unto my father, tender and an only one in the sight of my mother.

Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, and the years of thy life shall be multiplied.

My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.

My son, attend unto my wisdom, incline thine ear to my understanding;

And why shouldest thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?

My son, if thou hast become surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand for a stranger,

Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, since thou hast come into the hand of thy friend: go, humble thyself, and be urgent with thy friend.

My son, observe thy father's commandment, and forsake not the teaching of thy mother;

My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.

and I beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the sons, a young man void of understanding,

And now, ye sons, hearken unto me, and attend to the words of my mouth.

Unto you, men, I call, and my voice is to the sons of man:

rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth, and my delights were with the sons of men.

And now, sons, hearken unto me, and blessed are they that keep my ways:

The Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish son is the grief of his mother.

He that gathereth in summer is a wise son; he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.

A wise son heareth his father's instruction; but a scorner heareth not rebuke.

He that spareth his rod hateth his son; but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

A wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish man despiseth his mother.

A wise servant shall rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part in the inheritance among the brethren.

A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bore him.

A foolish son is the calamity of his father; and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope; but set not thy soul upon killing him.

He that ruineth his father and chaseth away his mother is a son that causeth shame and bringeth reproach.

Cease, my son, to hear the instruction which causeth to stray from the words of knowledge.

My son, if thy heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine;

Thou, my son, hear and be wise, and direct thy heart in the way.

The father of a righteous man shall greatly rejoice, and he that begetteth a wise son shall have joy of him:

My son, give me thy heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.

Eat honey, my son, for it is good; and a honeycomb is sweet to thy taste:

My son, fear Jehovah and the king: meddle not with them that are given to change.

Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad, that I may have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me.

Whoso observeth the law is a son that hath understanding; but he that is a companion of profligates bringeth shame to his father.

Chasten thy son, and he shall give thee rest, and shall give delight unto thy soul.

He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child, shall in the end have him as a son.

The words of Agur the son of Jakeh; the prophecy uttered by the man unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal:

Who hath ascended up into the heavens, and descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in a mantle? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou knowest?

What, my son? and what, O son of my womb? and what, O son of my vows?

The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.

I have seen the travail that God hath given to the sons of men to toil in.

There is one alone and without a second; also he hath neither son nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour, neither is his eye satisfied with riches, and he saith not, For whom then am I labouring, and depriving my soul of good? This also is vanity and a grievous occupation.

or those riches perish by some evil circumstance, and if he have begotten a son, there is nothing in his hand.

If a man beget a hundred sons, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, but his soul be not filled with good, and also he have no burial, I say an untimely birth is better than he.

It is better for a man to hear the rebuke of the wise, than to hear the song of fools.

Happy art thou, O land, when thy king is a son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!

and the doors are shut toward the street; when the sound of the grinding is subdued, and they rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of song are brought low;

And besides, my son, be warned by them: of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

The song of songs, which is Solomon's.

As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, So is my beloved among the sons: In his shadow have I rapture and sit down; And his fruit is sweet to my taste.

The vision of Isaiah the son of Amos, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

I will sing to my well-beloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard: My well-beloved had a vineyard upon a fruitful hill.

And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to make war against it, but they were not able to fight against it.

And Jehovah said to Isaiah, Go out now to meet Ahaz, thou and thy son Shear-jashub, at the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller's field;

and thou shalt say unto him, Take heed and be quiet; fear not, and let not thy heart faint before these two ends of smoking firebrands, because of the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.

Inasmuch as Syria hath taken evil counsel against thee, Ephraim also and the son of Remaliah, saying,

Let us go up against Judah, and harass it, and make a breach therein for us, and set up a king therein the son of Tabeal;

and the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye believe not, surely ye shall not be established.

Therefore will the Lord himself give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and shall bring forth a son, and call his name Immanuel.

And I took unto me to witness, sure witnesses, Urijah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.

And I came near to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son; and Jehovah said unto me, Call his name, Maher-shalal-hash-baz.

Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah which flow softly, and rejoiceth in Rezin and in the son of Remaliah,

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name is called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.

but they shall fly upon the shoulder of the Philistines towards the west; together shall they spoil the sons of the east; they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab, and the children of Ammon shall obey them.

Behold, God is my salvation: I will trust, and not be afraid; for Jah, Jehovah, is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation.

The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.

How art thou fallen from heaven, Lucifer, son of the morning! Thou art cut down to the ground, that didst prostrate the nations!

They are but fools, the princes of Zoan, the wise counsellors of Pharaoh: their counsel is become senseless. How say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?

at that time spoke Jehovah by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy sandal from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.
