And God shall cast upon him and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.

God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth its place:

Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when +God preserved me;

As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret counsel of +God was over my tent,

When I went out to the gate by the city, when I prepared my seat on the broadway,

By their great force they have become my raiment; they bind me about as the collar of my coat.

For I expected good, and there came evil; and I waited for light, but there came darkness.

For what would have been my portion of +God from above, and what the heritage of the Almighty from on high?

(Let me be weighed in an even balance, and +God will take knowledge of my blamelessness;)

What then should I do when God riseth up? and if he visited, what should I answer him?

If I have lifted up my hand against an orphan, because I saw my help in the gate:

For calamity from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his excellency I was powerless.

This also would be an iniquity for the judge, for I should have denied the God who is above.

Then was kindled the anger of Elihu the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the family of Ram: against Job was his anger kindled, because he justified himself rather than God;

That ye may not say, We have found out wisdom; God will make him yield, not man.

The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

Behold, before God I am as thou; I also am formed out of the clay.

Behold, I will answer thee in this, thou art not right; for +God is greater than man.

For God speaketh once, and twice, and man perceiveth it not --

He shall pray unto +God, and he will receive him with favour; and he shall see his face with shoutings, and he will render unto man his righteousness.

Lo, all these things worketh God twice, thrice, with man,

Let us choose for ourselves what is right; let us know among ourselves what is good!

For Job hath said, I am righteous, and God hath taken away my judgment:

For he hath said, It profiteth not a man if he delight himself in God.

Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: Far be wickedness from God, and wrong from the Almighty!

Yea, surely, God acteth not wickedly, and the Almighty perverteth not judgment.

For he doth not long consider a man, to bring him before God in judgment.

For hath he said unto God, I bear chastisement, I will not offend;

For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.

Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's?

But none saith, Where is +God my Maker, who giveth songs in the night,

Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.

Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet words for +God.

Lo, God is mighty, but despiseth not any; mighty in strength of understanding:

Desire not the night, when peoples are cut off from their place.

Lo, God is exalted in his power: who teacheth as he?

Lo, God is great, and we comprehend him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.

God thundereth marvellously with his voice, doing great things which we do not comprehend.

By the breath of God ice is given; and the breadth of the waters is straitened.

Hearken unto this, Job; stand still and discern the wondrous works of God.

Dost thou know how +God hath disposed them, and how he causeth the lightning of his cloud to flash?

From the north cometh gold; with +God is terrible majesty.

When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

When I cut out for it my boundary, and set bars and doors,

Who provideth for the raven his food, when his young ones cry unto God, and they wander for lack of meat?

For +God hath deprived her of wisdom, and hath not furnished her with understanding.

Shall he that will contend with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth +God, let him answer it.

Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

He is the chief of God's ways: he that made him gave him his sword.

Many say of my soul, There is no salvation for him in God. Selah.

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

{To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.} When I call, answer me, O God of my righteousness: in pressure thou hast enlarged me; be gracious unto me, and hear my prayer.

Many say, Who shall cause us to see good? Lift up upon us the light of thy countenance, O Jehovah.

Hearken unto the voice of my crying, my king and my God; for to thee will I pray.

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness; evil shall not sojourn with thee.

Bring guilt upon them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels: drive them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against thee.

{Shiggaion of David, which he sang to Jehovah, concerning the words of Cush the Benjaminite.} Jehovah my God, in thee have I trusted: save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me;

Jehovah my God, if I have done this, if there be iniquity in my hands;

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.

My shield is with God, who saveth the upright in heart.

God is a righteous judge, and a God who is indignant all the day.

The wicked shall be turned into Sheol, all the nations that forget God.

The wicked saith, in the haughtiness of his countenance, He doth not search out: all his thoughts are, There is no God!

He saith in his heart, God hath forgotten, he hideth his face, he will never see it.

Arise, Jehovah; O God, lift up thy hand: forget not the afflicted.

Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? He hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh proud things,

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

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted themselves, they have done abominable works: there is none that doeth good.

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

They have all gone aside, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even one.

There were they in great fear; for God is in the generation of the righteous.

{Michtam of David.} Preserve me, O God: for I trust in thee.

I have called upon thee, for thou answerest me, O God. Incline thine ear unto me, hear my speech.

Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I will trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

In my distress I called upon Jehovah, and I cried out to my God; he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, into his ears.

For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

For it is thou that makest my lamp to shine: Jehovah my God enlighteneth my darkness.

For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.

As for God, his way is perfect; the word of Jehovah is tried: he is a shield to all that trust in him.

For who is +God save Jehovah? and who is a rock if not our God?

The God who girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect,

Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation,

The God who hath avenged me, and hath subjected the peoples to me;

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} The heavens declare the glory of God; and the expanse sheweth the work of his hands.

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob protect thee;

We will triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God will we set up our banners. Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions!

Some make mention of chariots, and some of horses, but we of the name of Jehovah our God.

{To the chief Musician. Upon Aijeleth-Shahar. A Psalm of David.} My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou far from my salvation, from the words of my groaning?

My God, I cry by day, and thou answerest not; and by night, and there is no rest for me:

I was cast upon thee from the womb; thou art my God from my mother's belly.

He shall receive blessing from Jehovah, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

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

Make me to walk in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

Good and upright is Jehovah; therefore will he instruct sinners in the way:

Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

Hide not thy face from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth, Jehovah upon great waters.

Jehovah my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

That my glory may sing psalms of thee, and not be silent. Jehovah my God, I will praise thee for ever.
