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

"Now I'll conclude with this: my heart is trembling violently; it feels like it's about to leap from my body!

Stand up like a man! I'll ask you some questions, and you give me some answers!"

And I shall break upon it my law, and I shall set bars and doors;

saying, 'Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further, and here shalt thou lay down thy proud and high waves.'

That it might lay hold of the wings of the earth, and the lawless be shaken out of it?

Camest thou ever into the ground of the sea: or hast thou walked in the low corners of the deep?

When the waters lie hidden as in stone, and the face of the deep holdeth fast together.

Canst thou thunder also that they may go their way, and be obedient unto thee, saying, 'Lo here are we'?

Who doth number the clouds by wisdom? And the bottles of the heavens, Who doth cause to lie down,

When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?

Or when they lie down, when they cast their young ones, and when they are delivered of their travail and pain?

Will you trust him that he'll bring in your grain, and gather it to your threshing floor?"

When the trumpet blasts he'll neigh, "Aha! Aha!' From a distance he can sense war, the war cry of generals, and their shouting."

Its brood gulps down blood,
and where the slain are, it is there.

Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.

"Stand up like a man! I'll ask you some questions, and you give me some answers!

Scatter abroad the wrath of thine anger, And see every proud one, and make him low.

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

then I will applaud you myself! I'll admit that you can deliver yourself by your own efforts!"

Lo, I pray thee, Behemoth, that I made with thee: Grass as an ox he eateth.

Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.

He will lie down under the shades, in the covering of the reed and marsh.

Lo, the river overfloweth he startleth not: he is confident though a Jordan break forth against his mouth.

Who dare lay a hand on him openly, and undertake to catch him? Or, who dare put a hook through his nose, and lay a snare for him?

Lay thine 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?

His protective scales are his pride, they lie sealed tightly together.

If one lay at him with the sword, it cannot avail; Nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft.

Listen now, and I will speak for myself; I'll interrogate you and then inform me.

So take seven bulls and seven rams and bring them to my servant Job. And bring a whole burnt offering for yourselves and my servant Job will pray for you. I'll encourage him by not responding as your disgraceful folly deserves, since you didn't speak about me correctly as did my servant Job."

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

As for me, I will preach the law, whereof the LORD hath said unto me, "Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.

I lay down and slept [safely];
I awakened, for the Lord sustains me.

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.

Tremble with fear and do not sin! Meditate as you lie in bed, and repent of your ways! (Selah)

I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.

Yahweh, in the morning you shall hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly.

Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.

Lo, he travaileth with iniquity, And he hath conceived perverseness, And hath brought forth falsehood.

Their eyes secretly watch the helpless, lying in wait like a lion in his den. They lie in wait to catch the afflicted. They catch the afflicted when they pull him into their net.

The upright are crushed and made low, and the feeble are overcome by his strong ones.

Why has the evil-doer a low opinion of God, saying in his heart, You will not make search for it?

For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.

They lie to one another;
they speak with flattering lips and deceptive hearts.

How long must I take counsel in my soul,
Having sorrow in my heart day after day?
How long will my enemy exalt himself and triumph over me?

They lie waiting in our way on every side, watching to cast us down to the ground,

Arise, O Lord, confront him, bring him low;
Deliver my soul from the wicked with Your sword,

For you are the saviour of those who are in trouble; but eyes full of pride will be made low.

For I have been armed by you with strength for the fight: you have made low under me those who come out against me.

The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

They are bent down and made low; but we have been lifted up.

His glory is great in thy salvation: Honor and majesty dost thou lay upon him.

Dried as a potsherd, is my strength, And, my tongue, is made to cleave to my gums, And, in the dust of death, wilt thou lay me.

For he hath not despised nor abhorred the low estate of the poor: he hath not hid his face from him, but when he called unto him, he heard him.

All the fat ones of the earth will give him worship; all those who go down to the dust will make themselves low before him, even he who has not enough for the life of his soul.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

The one whose deeds are blameless and whose motives are pure, who does not lie, or make promises with no intention of keeping them.

Teach me Your way, O Lord,
And lead me on a level path
Because of my enemies [who lie in wait].

Lo, the eye of Jehovah is to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,

Lo, the poor crieth, and the LORD heareth him, yea, and saveth him out of all his troubles.

Lay hand upon the shield and buckler, and stand up to help me.

Unrighteous witnesses rise up; they lay to my charge things which I know not.

My behaviour was as if it had been my friend or my brother: I was bent low in grief like one whose mother is dead.

But they took pleasure in my trouble, and came together, yes, low persons came together against me without my knowledge; they never came to an end of wounding me.

There those who [are perverse and] do evil have fallen;
They have been thrust down and cannot rise.

The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.

The wicked lies in wait for the righteous
And seeks to kill him.

But the Lord does not surrender the godly, or allow them to be condemned in a court of law.

Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

I am bent over and brought low;
all day long I go around in mourning.

They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.

And they seeking my soul will lay snares: and they seeking my evil spake mischief, and they will meditate deceits all the day,

Lo, handbreadths Thou hast made my days, And mine age is as nothing before Thee, Only, all vanity is every man set up. Selah.

Blessed [is] the man who makes Yahweh his trust and does not turn to [the] proud and [to those who] fall away [to] a lie.

Sacrifice and meal offering You do not desire, nor do You delight in them;
You have opened my ears and given me the capacity to hear [and obey Your word];
Burnt offerings and sin offerings You do not require.

Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,

I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.

A thing of Belial is poured out on him, And because he lay down he riseth not again.

For we lie in the dirt, with our bellies pressed to the ground.

For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.

Both low and high, rich and poor, together.

Wherefore should I fear in the days of calamity, Though the iniquity of them who lie in wait for me should enclose me?

For he sees that wise men come to their end, and foolish persons of low behaviour come to destruction together, letting their wealth go to others.

They lie in the hell like sheep, death gnaweth upon them, and the righteous shall have domination of them in the morning. Their beauty shall consume in the sepulchre, and hell shall be their dwelling.

And to the unjust one God said, What to thee to recount my law, and thou wilt lift up my covenant upon thy mouth?

You have done these things, and I kept silent;
you thought I was just like you.
But I will rebuke you
and lay out the case before you.

Lo, in iniquity I have been brought forth, And in sin doth my mother conceive me.

Lo, truth Thou hast desired in the inward parts, And in the hidden part Wisdom Thou causest me to know.

For then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, with the burnt-offerings and oblations; then shall they lay bullocks upon thine altar.

You love evil more than good, a lie more than speaking {what is right}. Selah

But God will break you down forever;
He will take you away and tear you away from your tent,
And uproot you from the land of the living. Selah.

Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

Lo, God is a helper to me, The Lord is with those supporting my soul,

He will turn the evil upon those who lie in wait for me. Cut them off with your truth.

Give thought to me, and let my prayer be answered: I have been made low in sorrow;

From the voice of the enemy, from the face of the oppression of the unjust one: for they will bring down vanity upon me, for in anger they will lie in wait for me.

Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.

Death shall lay waste upon them; they shall go down living to hades, for evils in their sojournings in the midst of them.
