So I will have an answer for him who reproaches me, for I trust in your word.

My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.

Israel, hope in the LORD, for with the LORD there is loving kindness. With him is abundant redemption.

Praise the LORD. Praise the name of the LORD. Praise him, you servants of the LORD,

To him who alone does great wonders; for his loving kindness endures forever:

To him who by understanding made the heavens; for his loving kindness endures forever:

To him who spread out the earth above the waters; for his loving kindness endures forever:

To him who made the great lights; for his loving kindness endures forever:

To him who struck down the Egyptian firstborn; for his loving kindness endures forever;

To him who divided the Sea of Suf apart; for his loving kindness endures forever;

To him who led his people through the wilderness; for his loving kindness endures forever:

To him who struck great kings; for his loving kindness endures forever;

You hem me in behind and before. You laid your hand on me.

An evil speaker won't be established in the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; do not let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.

I pour out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles.

LORD, what is man, that you care for him? Or the son of man, that you think of him?

The LORD is near to all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry, and will save them.

The LORD preserves all those who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy.

Praise the LORD, for it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant and fitting to praise him.

The LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his loving kindness.

Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD from the heavens. Praise him in the heights.

Praise him, all his angels. Praise him, all his army.

Praise him, sun and moon. Praise him, all you shining stars.

Praise him, you heavens of heavens, You waters that are above the heavens.

He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his holy ones; even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise the LORD.

Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp.

Praise the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary. Praise him in his heavens for his acts of power.

Praise him for his mighty acts. Praise him according to his excellent greatness.

Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet. Praise him with harp and lyre.

Praise him with tambourine and dancing. Praise him with stringed instruments and flute.

Praise him with loud cymbals. Praise him with resounding cymbals.

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

For they are life to him who finds them, and health to all of his body.

There are six things which the LORD hates; yes, seven which are an abomination to him:

Behold, there a woman met him with the attire of a prostitute, and with crafty intent.

So she caught him, and kissed him. With an impudent face she said to him:

For my husband isn't at home. He has gone on a long journey.

He has taken a bag of money with him. He will come home at the full moon."

With persuasive words, she led him astray. With the flattering of her lips, she seduced him.

They are all plain to him who understands, right to those who find knowledge.

then I was the craftsman by his side. I was a delight day by day, always rejoicing before him,

"Whoever is simple, let him turn in here." As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,

"Whoever is simple, let him turn in here." as for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,

Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has discernment, but a rod is for the back of him who is void of understanding.

As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to those who send him.

People curse someone who withholds grain, but blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.

He who diligently seeks good seeks favor, but he who searches after evil, it shall come to him.

A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth. The work of a man's hands shall be rewarded to him.

Poverty and shame come to him who refuses discipline, but he who heeds correction shall be honored.

One who spares the rod hates his son, but one who loves him is careful to discipline him.

He who walks in his uprightness fears the LORD, but he who is perverse in his ways despises him.

He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for his Maker, but he who is kind to the needy honors him.

The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but he loves him who follows after righteousness.

The path of life leads upward for the wise, to keep him from going downward to Sheol.

The ear that listens to reproof lives, and will be at home among the wise.

When a man's ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

The appetite of the laboring man labors for him; for his mouth urges him on.

A man of violence entices his neighbor, and leads him in a way that is not good.

A bribe is a precious stone in the eyes of him who gives it; wherever he turns, he prospers.

An evil man seeks only rebellion; therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.

A foolish son brings grief to his father, and bitterness to her who bore him.

One who is slack in his work is brother to him who is a master of destruction.

He who gives answer before he hears, that is folly and shame to him.

A man's spirit will sustain him in sickness, but a crushed spirit, who can bear?

A man's gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men.

He who pleads his cause first seems right; until another comes and questions him.

All the relatives of the poor shun him: how much more do his friends avoid him. He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone.

The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense.

He who has pity on the poor lends to the LORD; he will reward him.

A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty, for if you rescue him, you must do it again.

The terror of a king is like the roaring of a lion. He who provokes him to anger forfeits his own life.

A righteous man walks in integrity; blessed are his children after him.

Take the garment of one who puts up collateral for a stranger; and hold him in pledge for a wayward woman.

He who goes about as a tale-bearer reveals secrets; therefore do not keep company with him who opens wide his lips.

The desire of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.

Folly is bound up in the heart of a child: the rod of discipline drives it far from him.

Do not eat the food of him who has a stingy eye, and do not crave his delicacies:

Do not withhold correction from a child. If you punish him with the rod, he will not die.

Punish him with the rod, and save his soul from Sheol.

The father of the righteous has great joy. Whoever fathers a wise child delights in him.

When his speech is charming, do not believe him; for there are seven abominations in his heart.

Whoever digs a pit shall fall into it. Whoever rolls a stone, it will come back on him.

As a bird that wanders from her nest, so is a man who wanders from his home.

He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse by him.

Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with grain, yet his foolishness will not be removed from him.
