Jehovah is good to all; And his tender mercies are over all his works.

While I live will I praise Jehovah: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in Jehovah his God:

Jehovah will reign for ever, Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye Jehovah.

Praise ye Jehovah; For it is good to sing praises unto our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is comely.

Sing unto Jehovah with thanksgiving; Sing praises upon the harp unto our God,

Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem; Praise thy God, O Zion.

Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand;

Praise ye Jehovah. Praise God in his sanctuary: Praise him in the firmament of his power.

But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell securely, And shall be quiet without fear of evil.

Then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, And find the knowledge of God.

Then shalt thou understand righteousness and justice, And equity, yea , every good path.

That forsaketh the friend of her youth, And forgetteth the covenant of her God:

That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, And keep the paths of the righteous.

But the wicked shall be cut off from the land, And the treacherous shall be rooted out of it.

So shalt thou find favor and good understanding In the sight of God and man.

Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, When it is in the power of thy hand to do it.

For I give you good doctrine; Forsake ye not my law.

Get wisdom, get understanding; Forget not, neither decline from the words of my mouth;

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; Yea, with all thy getting get understanding.

Wounds and dishonor shall he get; And his reproach shall not be wiped away.

The mouth of the righteous bringeth forth wisdom; But the perverse tongue shall be cut off.

The merciful man doeth good to his own soul; But he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.

The desire of the righteous is only good; But the expectation of the wicked is wrath.

He that diligently seeketh good seeketh favor; But he that searcheth after evil, it shall come unto him.

A good man shall obtain favor of Jehovah; But a man of wicked devices will he condemn.

A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth; And the doings of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.

Heaviness in the heart of a man maketh it stoop; But a good word maketh it glad.

A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth; But the soul of the treacherous'shall eat violence.

Good understanding giveth favor; But the way of the transgressor is hard.

Evil pursueth sinners; But the righteous shall be recompensed with good.

A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children; And the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the righteous.

A trespass-offering mocketh fools; But among the upright there is good will.

The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways; And a good man'shall be satisfied from himself.

The evil bow down before the good; And the wicked, at the gates of the righteous.

Do they not err that devise evil? But mercy and truth'shall be to them that devise good.

The eyes of Jehovah are in every place, Keeping watch upon the evil and the good.

A man hath joy in the answer of his mouth; And a word in due season, how good is it!

The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart; And good tidings make the bones fat.

How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! Yea, to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver.

He that giveth heed unto the word shall find good; And whoso trusteth in Jehovah, happy is he.

A man of violence enticeth his neighbor, And leadeth him in a way that is not good.

Whoso rewardeth evil for good, Evil shall not depart from his house.

He loveth transgression that loveth strife: He that raiseth high his gate seeketh destruction.

He that hath a wayward heart findeth no good; And he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.

A cheerful heart is a good medicine; But a broken spirit drieth up the bones.

Also to punish the righteous is not good, Nor to smite the noble for their uprightness.

To respect the person of the wicked is not good, Nor to turn aside the righteous in judgment.

Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, And obtaineth favor of Jehovah.

Also, that the soul be without knowledge is not good; And he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.

He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: He that keepeth understanding shall find good.

He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto Jehovah, And his good deed will he pay him again.

Diverse weights are an abomination to Jehovah; And a false balance is not good.

A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, And loving favor rather than silver and gold.

Rob not the poor, because he is poor; Neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:

Lest thou learn this ways, And get a snare to thy soul.

For surely there is a reward; And thy hope shall not be cut off.

Wisdom is too high for a fool: He openeth not his mouth in the gate.

My son, eat thou honey, for it is good; And the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to thy taste:

So shalt thou know wisdom to be unto thy soul; If thou hast found it, then shall there be a reward, And thy hope shall not be cut off.

These also are'sayings of the wise. To have respect of persons in judgment is not good.

But to them that rebuke him'shall be delight, And a good blessing shall come upon them.

It is the glory of God to conceal a thing; But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.

As cold waters to a thirsty soul, So is good news from a far country.

It is not good to eat much honey: So for men to search out their own glory is grievous.

Whoso causeth the upright to go astray in an evil way, He shall fall himself into his own pit; But the perfect shall inherit good.

To have respect of persons is not good; Neither that a man should transgress for a piece of bread.

Every word of God is tried: He is a shield unto them that take refuge in him.

Lest I be full, and deny thee , and say, Who is Jehovah? Or lest I be poor, and steal, And use profanely the name of my God.

The greyhound; the he-goat also; And the king against whom there is no rising up.

She doeth him good and not evil All the days of her life.

And I applied my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under heaven: it is a sore travail that God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith.

I searched in my heart how to cheer my flesh with wine, my heart yet guiding me with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what it was good for the sons of men that they should do under heaven all the days of their life.

I gathered me also silver and gold, and the treasure of kings and of the provinces; I gat me men-singers and women-singers, and the delights of the sons of men, musical instruments, and that of all sorts.

There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God.

For to the man that pleaseth him God giveth wisdom, and knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that pleaseth God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

I have seen the travail which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith.

He hath made everything beautiful in its time: also he hath set eternity in their heart, yet so that man cannot find out the work that God hath done from the beginning even to the end.

I know that there is nothing better for them, than to rejoice, and to do good so long as they live.

And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labor, is the gift of God.

I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor anything taken from it; and God hath done it, that men should fear before him.

That which is hath been long ago; and that which is to be hath long ago been: and God seeketh again that which is passed away.

I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.

I said in my heart, It is because of the sons of men, that God may prove them, and that they may see that they themselves are but as beasts.

There is one that is alone, and he hath not a second; yea, he hath neither son nor brother; yet is there no end of all his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with riches. For whom then,'saith he , do I labor, and deprive my soul of good? This also is vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor.

Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God; for to draw nigh to hear is better than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they know not that they do evil.

Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.

When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou vowest.

Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that is was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thy hands?

For in the multitude of dreams there are vanities, and in many words: but fear thou God.

Behold, that which I have seen to be good and to be comely is for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labor, wherein he laboreth under the sun, all the days of his life which God hath given him: for this is his portion.

Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor-this is the gift of God.

For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart.

a man to whom God giveth riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacketh nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but an alien eateth it; this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

If a man beget a hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul be not filled with good, and moreover he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he:

yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, and yet enjoy no good, do not all go to one place?

For who knoweth what is good for man in his life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?

A good name is better than precious oil; and the day of death, than the day of one's birth.

Wisdom is as good as an inheritance; yea, more excellent is it for them that see the sun.
