For I do not know how to eulogize; else after a little my Maker would take me away.

Behold, my terror shall not make you afraid, and my burden shall not be heavy on you.

Behold, in this you are not right; I will answer you, for God is greater than man.

Why do you fight against Him? For He does not give account for any of His matters.

For God speaks once, yea, twice, but not one takes notice.

In a dream, a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men; while they slumber on the bed;

His flesh wastes away, not seen; and his bones laid bare; they were not seen.

He will observe to men, and say, I have sinned and perverted righteousness; and it was not equally repaid to me,

If not, listen to me; be silent, and I will teach you wisdom.

Yes, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert justice.

How much less to Him who does not lift up the face of rulers, nor regard the rich before the poor? For all of them are the work of His hands.

For He does not still impose on man to go before God in judgment.

Therefore He knows their works, and He overturns in the night, so that they are destroyed.

because thus they turned from following Him, and they did not consider all His ways;

For has any said to God, I have taken away; I will not pervert?

Must He repay because you rejected it? For you must choose, and not I; therefore speak what you know.

But none says, Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night;

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

How much less when you say you do not see Him! Judgment is before Him; you are waiting for Him.

And now, because His anger has not visited, and He does not recognize stupidity,

For truly my words are not false; He who is perfect in knowledge is with you.

Behold, God is mighty, and does not despise; He is mighty in strength of heart.

He will not keep alive one who is wicked, but gives right to the afflicted.

He withdraws not His eyes from the righteous, but they are like kings on the throne; yes, He causes them to sit forever, and they are very high.

But if they do not obey, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.

But the ungodly in heart heap up wrath; they cry not when He binds them.

And He also would have lured you from the mouth of distress to a wide place not cramped; and the setting of your table would be full of fatness.

For beware wrath, that He not lure you with His scorn; then a great ransom cannot turn you aside.

If your cry for help is set in order, then it will not be in distress, but with all the forces of strength.

Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.

Beware, do not turn to iniquity; for this you have chosen rather than affliction.

Behold, God is great, and we do not know; the number of His years cannot be searched out.

After it a voice roars; He thunders with the voice of His majesty, and He will not hold them when His voice is heard.

God thunders marvelously with His voice; He does great things, and we do not understand.

Therefore, men fear Him; He does not respect any who are wise in heart.

Their young ones are strong, they multiply with grain; they go forth and do not return to them again.

He scorns the turmoil of the city; he does not hear the driver's shouts.

Will the wild ox be willing to serve you, or spend the night by your feed-trough?

The wing of the ostrich beats joyously; though not like the stork's pinions for flight.

She treats her young roughly, as if not hers; for her labor is vanity without fear;

because God has caused her to forget wisdom, and He has not given her a share in understanding.

He mocks at fear, and is not terrified; and he does not turn back from the sword.

He swallows the ground with quivering and rage; and he does not stand still at the sound of the trumpet.

Once I have spoken; but I will not answer; yea, twice, but I will go no further.

He hangs his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together.

Behold, though a flood presses, he does not run away; he feels safe even if Jordan swells up to his mouth.

Behold, his hope has been made false; will not one be cast down at the sight of him?

I will not keep silent concerning his limbs, or his mighty strength, or the grace of his frame.

they are joined one to another, they clasp each other so that they can not be separated.

The sword overtakes him, but will not hold firm. The spear, the dart, and the javelin also.

I know that You can do all, and not any purpose is withheld from You.

Who is he who hides counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have spoken what I did not understand; things too wonderful for me; yea, I did not know.

And it happened after Jehovah had spoken these words to Job, Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against you and your two friends. For you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.

And now take to yourselves seven young bulls and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering. And My servant Job will pray for you. Surely I will lift up his face so as not to do with you according to your foolishness, in that you have not spoken of Me what is right, like My servant Job.

And in all the land there were not found women as beautiful as the daughters of Job. And their father gave them inheritance among their brothers.

Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has not stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is only in the Law of Jehovah; and in His Law he meditates day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivulets of water that brings forth its fruit in its seasons, and its leaf shall not wither, and all which he does shall be blessed.

The wicked are not so, but are like chaff which the wind drives away.

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set against me all around.

Tremble, and sin not; speak within your own heart on your bed and be still. Selah.

For You are not a God that enjoys wickedness; nor shall evil dwell with You.

The foolish shall not stand in Your sight. You hate all doers of iniquity.

To the Chief Musician, for eight-stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, rebuke me not in Your anger, nor chasten me in the heat of Your fury.

I am weary in my groaning; all the night I make my bed swim; I melt my couch with my tears.

If he does not turn, He will whet His sword; He has bent His bow and made it ready.

And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; for You, Jehovah, have not forsaken those who seek You.

For He remembers them, the seekers of bloodshed; He forgets not the cry of the humble.

The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made; their foot is caught in the net which they hid.

For the needy shall not always be forgotten; the hope of the poor shall not perish forever.

Arise, O Jehovah; let not man be strong. Let the nations be judged in Your sight.

Through the pride of his face the wicked will not seek Him; There is no God in all his schemes.

He has said in his heart, I shall not be moved; from generation to generation, never in evil!

He lies in wait secretly, like a lion in his den. He lies in wait to catch the poor; he catches the poor when he draws him into his net.

He has said in his heart, God has forgotten; He hides His face; He will not see forever!

Arise, O Jehovah; O God, lift up Your hand; forget not the humble.

Why do the wicked condemn God? He has said in his heart, You will not judge.

All have gone aside, together they are filthy; there is none who does good, no, not one.

Have all the workers of iniquity not known, eating up My people as they eat bread? They have not called on Jehovah.

he does not backbite with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbor, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor;

in whose eyes the reprobate is despised, but he honors those who fear Jehovah; he has sworn to his hurt, and does not change it;

he has not put out his money at interest, nor has he taken a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall not be moved forever.

Their sorrows shall be multiplied who run after another god. I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood; and I will not take their names on my lips.

I have set Jehovah always before Me; because He is at My right hand, I shall not be moved.

For You will not leave My soul in hell; You will not allow Your Holy One to see corruption.

A Prayer of David. Hear the right, O Jehovah; listen to my cry; Give ear to my prayer, for it is not in lips of deceit.

You have proved my heart; You have visited me in the night; You have tried me, and You will find nothing; my thoughts do not pass beyond my mouth.

My steps have been held in Your paths, so that my footsteps have not slipped.

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

For all His judgments were before me, and I did not put away His Precepts from me.

You have given a wide place for my steps under me, so that my feet have not slipped.

They cried, but there was none to save; even to Jehovah, but He did not answer them.

You have delivered Me from the strivings of the people; You have made Me the head of the nations; a people whom I have not known shall serve Me.

Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.

There is no speech nor are there words; their voice is not heard.

and keep Your servant back from presumptuous sins; do not let them rule over me; then I shall be upright, and I shall be innocent of great transgression.

You have given him his heart's desire, and have not withheld the prayer of his lips. Selah.

For the king trusts in Jehovah, and in the mercy of the Most High; he shall not be moved.

For they intended evil against You; they imagined a wicked thing; they are not able to prevail.
