Hast thou made him to leap as a locust? The glory of his snorting is terrible.

Will he who is protesting give teaching to the Ruler of all? Let him who has arguments to put forward against God give an answer.

Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

Now take a look at the strength that he has in his loins, and in the muscles of his abdomen.

It ranks first among the works of God, the One who made it has furnished it with a sword.

Truly, if the river is overflowing, it gives him no cause for fear; he has no sense of danger, even if Jordan is rushing against his mouth.

“Who has first given to Me that I should repay him?
Whatever is under the whole heaven is Mine. [Who can have a claim against Me who made the unmastered beast?]

Who has ever taken off his outer skin? who may come inside his inner coat of iron?

Who has made open the doors of his face? Fear is round about his teeth.

Its back [has] scales of shields; it is shut up closely [as with] a seal.

Behind it, {it leaves a glistening wake}; one would think [that] the deep [has] gray hair.

"{On the ground it has no equal}-- a creature without fear.

Thou hast known that for all things Thou art able, And not withheld from Thee is any device:

By the ear's hearing I heard [of] you, but now my eye has seen you.

It came about that after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.

Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up a burnt offering for yourselves, and My servant Job will pray for you. For I will accept him [and his prayer] so that I may not deal with you according to your folly, because you have not spoken of Me the thing that is right, as My servant Job has.”

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.

He who sits [enthroned] in the heavens laughs [at their rebellion];
The [Sovereign] Lord scoffs at them [and in supreme contempt He mocks them].

I will make clear the Lord's decision: he has said to me, You are my son, this day have I given you being.

Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.

{To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David.} Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

But know that the Lord has set apart for Himself [and dealt wonderfully with] the godly man [the one of honorable character and moral courage—the one who does right].
The Lord hears and responds when I call to Him.

There are numbers who say, Who will do us any good? the light of his face has gone from us.

Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.

For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil can't live with you.

The boastful station not themselves before Thine eyes: Thou hast hated all working iniquity.

My eyesight has faded because of grief, it has dimmed because of all my enemies.

Depart from me, all you who do evil,
For the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.

The Lord has heard my supplication [my plea for grace];
The Lord receives my prayer.

Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.

God [is] a righteous judge, and a God who has indignation every day.

If a man does not repent, God will sharpen His sword;
He has strung and bent His [mighty] bow and made it ready.

He has also prepared [other] deadly weapons for Himself;
He makes His arrows fiery shafts [aimed at the unrepentant].

Behold, he travails with iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

He has dug a pit and hollowed it out,
And has fallen into the [very] pit which he made [as a trap].

{To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.} O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.

Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.

But the Lord will remain and sit enthroned forever;
He has prepared and established His throne for judgment.

And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

Sing praises to Yahweh, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.

When he makes search for blood, he has them in his memory: he is not without thought for the cry of the poor.

The nations have sunk down in the pit which they have made;
In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught.

The Lord has made Himself known;
He executes judgment;
The wicked are trapped by the work of their own hands. Higgaion (meditation) Selah.

The wicked, in the pride of his face, has no room in his thoughts for God.

He is secure at all times. He has no regard for your commands; he disdains all his enemies.

He has said in his heart, I will not be moved: through all generations I will never be in trouble.

He says to himself, “God has [quite] forgotten;
He has hidden His face; He will never see my deed.”

Why has the wicked spurned and shown disrespect to God?
He has said to himself, “You will not require me to account.”

Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.

“If the foundations [of a godly society] are destroyed,
What can the righteous do?”

The Lord puts the upright and the sinner to the test, but he has hate in his soul for the lover of violent acts.

Send help, Lord, for mercy has come to an end; there is no more faith among the children of men.

that has said, With our tongue we shall do much; our lips are our own; who is lord over us?

I will sing to the Lord,
Because He has dealt bountifully with me.

The [spiritually ignorant] fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, they have committed repulsive and unspeakable deeds;
There is no one who does good.

Yahweh looks down from heaven upon the children of humankind to see whether there is one who has insight, one who cares about God.

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.

O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;

To the saints that are on the earth, and to the excellent thou hast said, In them is all my delight.

I will bless the Lord who has counseled me;
Indeed, my heart (mind) instructs me in the night.

Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

My steps have held closely to Your paths;
My feet have not staggered.

The Lord dealt with me according to my righteousness (moral character, spiritual integrity);
According to the cleanness of my hands He has rewarded me.

Therefore the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness (moral character, spiritual integrity),
According to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.

On him who has mercy you will have mercy; to the upright you will be upright;

Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.

Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.

For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.

Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.

He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

Great salvation does he give to his king; he has mercy on the king of his selection, David, and on his seed for ever.

Yet their voice [in quiet evidence] has gone out through all the earth,
Their words to the end of the world.
In them and in the heavens He has made a tent for the sun,

The fear of the Lord is clean, and has no end; the decisions of the Lord are true and full of righteousness.

Who has full knowledge of his errors? make me clean from secret evil.

Now I know that the LORD has delivered his anointed; he has answered him from his sanctuary with the strength of his right hand of deliverance.

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.

Life he hath asked from Thee, Thou hast given to him -- length of days, Age-during -- and for ever.

His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.

For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.

For the king has faith in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Most High he will not be moved.

{To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David.} My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

Upon thee, was I cast from the time I was born, From the womb of my mother, my GOD, hast thou been.

I am flowing away like water, and all my bones are out of place: my heart is like wax, it has become soft in my body.

My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

For [a pack of] dogs have surrounded me;
A gang of evildoers has encircled me,
They pierced my hands and my feet.

Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

For He has not despised nor detested the suffering of the afflicted;
Nor has He hidden His face from him;
But when he cried to Him for help, He listened.

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.

They will come and declare His righteousness
To a people yet to be born—that He has done it [and that it is finished].
