If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his duty;

Then he will be gracious unto him, and say, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.

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.

For a man's work will he render to him, and cause every one to find according to his way.

Who hath entrusted to him the earth? and who hath disposed the whole world?

If he only thought of himself, and gathered unto him his spirit and his breath,

How then to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich man more than the poor? for they are all the work of his hands.

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

Because they have turned back from him, and would consider none of his ways;

So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.

When he giveth quietness, who then will disturb? and when he hideth his face, who shall behold him? and this towards a nation, or towards a man alike;

If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? If thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?

If thou be righteous, what givest thou to him? or what doth he receive of thy hand?

Although thou sayest thou dost not see him, judgment is before him, therefore wait for him.

If they hearken and serve him, they shall accomplish their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.

Who hath appointed him his way? or who hath said, Thou hast wrought unrighteousness?

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

Lo, he spreadeth his light around him, and covereth the bottom of the sea.

His thundering declareth concerning him; the cattle even, concerning its coming.

Dost thou know about the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him that is perfect in knowledge?

Hast thou with him spread out the sky, firm, like a molten mirror?

Teach us what we shall say unto him! We cannot order our words by reason of darkness.

Shall it be told him if I would speak? if a man so say, surely he shall be swallowed up.

The Almighty, we cannot find him out: excellent in power, and in judgment, and in abundance of justice, he doth not afflict.

Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.

Wilt thou put confidence in him, because his strength is great? and wilt thou leave thy labour to him?

Wilt thou trust him to bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy threshing-floor?

Dost thou make him to leap as a locust? His majestic snorting is terrible.

The quiver rattleth upon him, the glittering spear and the javelin.

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?

Cast abroad the ragings of thine anger, and look on every one that is proud, and abase him:

Look on every one that is proud, bring him low, and tread down the wicked in their place:

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

For the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.

Lotus-bushes cover him with their shade; the willows of the brook surround him.

Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him as a bondman for ever?

Wilt thou play with him as with a bird, and wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?

Shall partners make traffic of him, will they divide him among merchants?

Lay thy hand upon him; remember the battle, do no more!

Lo, hope as to him is belied: is not one cast down even at the sight of him?

None is so bold as to stir him up; and who is he that will stand before me?

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

In his neck lodgeth strength, and terror danceth before him.

The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are fused upon him, they cannot be moved.

If any reach him with a sword, it cannot hold; neither spear, nor dart, nor harpoon.

The arrow will not make him flee; slingstones are turned with him into stubble.

He maketh the path to shine after him: one would think the deep to be hoary.

And now, take for yourselves seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up 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, for ye have not spoken of me rightly, 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.

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, though his anger burn but a little. Blessed are all who have their trust in him.

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

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

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

If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (indeed I have freed him that without cause oppressed me;)

Let the enemy pursue after my soul, and take it, and let him tread down my life to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. Selah.

And he hath prepared for him instruments of death; his arrows hath he made burning.

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

Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and splendour.

Thou hast made him to rule over the works of thy hands; thou hast put everything under his feet:

He lieth in wait secretly, like a lion in his thicket; he lieth in wait to catch the afflicted: he doth catch the afflicted, drawing him into his net.

Jehovah trieth the righteous one; but the wicked, and him that loveth violence, his soul hateth.

Because of the oppression of the afflicted, because of the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith Jehovah, I will set him in safety, at whom they puff.

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

Arise, Jehovah, anticipate him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, thy sword;

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David, the servant of Jehovah, who spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies and out of the hand of Saul. And he said,} I will love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.

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.

He made darkness his secret place, his tent round about him: darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

From the brightness before him his thick clouds passed forth: hail and coals of fire.

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

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

Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed; he answereth him from the heavens of his holiness, with the saving strength of his right hand.

Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.

For thou hast met him with the blessings of goodness; thou hast set a crown of pure gold on his head.

He asked life of thee; thou gavest it him, length of days for ever and ever.

His glory is great through thy salvation; majesty and splendour hast thou laid upon him.

For thou hast made him to be blessings for ever; thou hast filled him with joy by thy countenance.

Commit it to Jehovah let him rescue him; let him deliver him, because he delighteth in him!

Ye that fear Jehovah, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and revere him, all ye the seed of Israel.

For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him: but when he cried unto him, he heard.

My praise is from thee, in the great congregation; I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

The meek shall eat and be satisfied; they shall praise Jehovah that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship; all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him, and he that cannot keep alive his own soul.

A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.

This is the generation of them that seek unto him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.

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

The secret of Jehovah is with them that fear him, that he may make known his covenant to them.

One thing have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Jehovah, and to inquire of him in his temple.

Jehovah is my strength and my shield; my heart confided in him, and I was helped: therefore my heart exulteth, and with my song will I praise him.

For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee at a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they will not reach him.

Many sorrows hath the wicked; but he that confideth in Jehovah, loving-kindness shall encompass him.

Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp; sing psalms unto him with the ten-stringed lute.

Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud sound.

Let all the earth fear Jehovah; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his loving-kindness,

For in him shall our heart rejoice, because we have confided in his holy name.

{A Psalm of David; when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.} I will bless Jehovah at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

They looked unto him, and were enlightened, and their faces were not confounded.

This afflicted one called, and Jehovah heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

The angel of Jehovah encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
