But, when the turn came for Esther daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai - who had taken her as his own daughter - to go in unto the king, she requested nothing, save what Hegai the king's eunuch who kept the women might direct, - but so it was, that Esther obtained favour in the eyes of all who beheld her.

and went in as far as before the gate of the king, - for, none, might enter into the gate of the king, clothed with sackcloth.

The Jews established and took upon themselves - and upon their seed, and upon all who should join themselves unto them, that it might not pass away, that they would continue to keep these two days, according to the writing concerning them and at their set time, - always year by year.

But, all the acts of his authority, and his might, and the clear story of the promotion of Mordecai, wherewith the king promoted him, are, they, not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?

For what reason, were there prepared for me - knees? and why - breasts, that I might suck?

So might it still be my comfort, And I might exult in the anguish he would not spare, - That I had not concealed the sayings of the Holy One.

How long wilt thou speak these things? Or, as a mighty wind, shall be the sayings of thy mouth?

For he is not a man like myself, whom I might answer, nor could we come together into judgment:

There is not, between us, a mediator, who might lay his hand upon us both.

Wherefore then, from the womb, didst thou bring me forth? I might have breathed my last, and, no eye, have seen me.

As though I had not been, should I have become, - from the womb to the grave, might I have been borne.

Pouring contempt upon nobles, and, the girdle of the mighty, hath He loosed:

Would it be well, when he searched you out? Or, as one might jest with a mortal, would ye jest, with him?

He made a breach in me, breach upon breach, He ran upon me, like a mighty man.

That one might plead, for a man, with GOD, - Even a son of man, for his friend!

This, is the portion of the lawless man, from God, and the inheritance decreed him from the Mighty One.

Wherefore do, lawless men, live, advance in years, even wax mighty in power?

A man of might, to him, pertaineth the land, and, the favorite, dwelleth therein:

Oh that I knew where I might find him! I would come even unto his dwelling-place;

Would he, with fulness of might, contend with me? Nay, surely, he, would give heed to me!

There an upright man, might reason with him, so should I deliver myself completely from my judge.

Yea he draggeth along the mighty by his strength, He riseth up, and none hath assurance of life;

Lo! these, are the fringes of his way, and what a whisper of a word hath been heard of him! But, the thunder of his might, who could understand?

Thou art turned to become a cruel one unto me, With the might of thy hand, thou assailest me;

Surely I know not how to give flattering titles, How soon might my Maker take me away!

Shall, the very hater of right, control? Or, the just - the mighty one, wilt thou condemn?

In a moment, they die, even in the middle of the night, - A people are convulsed when they pass away, A mighty one is removed, without hand;

He shattereth mighty ones unsearchably, and setteth up others in their stead:

Would that Job might be tested to the uttermost, for replying with the men of iniquity:

Unto a man like thyself, might thy lawlessness reach , and, unto a son of the earth-born, thy righteousness.

By reason of the multitude of oppressions, men make outcry, They cry for help, by reason of the arm of the mighty;

Lo! GOD, is mighty, yet will he not despise, Mighty in vigour of mind;

Yea he might even have allured thee - out of the mouth of straitness, into a wide space - no narrowness there, - and, the food set down on thy table, should have been full of fatness.

For, to the snow, he saith, Fall earthwards, - Also to the downpour of rain, yea the downpour of his mighty rains.

Shall it be declared to him - that I would speak? Were any man to say aught, he might he destroyed?

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

At his rising up, mighty men are afraid, by reason of terror, they are beside themselves:

After him, he lighteth up a path, one might think the resounding deep to be hoary!

Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish by the way, for soon might be kindled his anger, - How happy are all who seek refuge in him!

He rescued me from my foe, in his might, and from them who hated me, because they were too strong for me:

Now, do I know that Yahweh, hath saved, his Anointed One, - He answereth him out of his holy heavens, by the mighty saving deeds of his own right hand.

Who is the king of glory? Yahweh, strong and mighty, Yahweh, mighty in war.

Give to Yahweh, ye sons of the mighty, - Give to Yahweh, both glory and strength:

The voice of Yahweh, is upon the waters, - The GOD of glory, hath thundered, Yahweh, is upon mighty waters;

But, as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth, I humbled, with fasting, my soul, though, my prayer, unto mine own bosom, might return:

I will thank thee, in the midst of a great convocation, - In the midst of a mighty people, will I praise thee.

Thy righteousness, is like mighty mountains, and, thy just decrees, are a great resounding deep, - Man and beast, thou savest, O Yahweh!

Better the little of the righteous man, than the abundance of the lawless who are mighty;

Mighty things, hast thou done - Thou, Yahweh my God, Thy wonderful doings and thy purposes to-wards us, There is no setting them in order unto thee - I would tell, and would speak! - They are too great to rehearse.

Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one, -- Tis thine honour and thy majesty;

Will I eat the flesh of mighty oxen? Or, the blood of he-goats, will I drink?

Why dost thou boast thyself of wickedness, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of GOD, lasteth all the day.

For it is, not an enemy, that reproacheth me, Or I could bear it, - Not one that hath hated me, who, against me, hath magnified himself, Or I might hide myself from him;

For lo! they have lain in wait for my life, Mighty ones stir up strife against me, Without transgression of mine, and without sin of mine, O Yahweh;

Who setteth fast the mountains by his strength, Being girded with might;

Who ruleth, in his might, unto times age abiding, His eyes, over the nations, keep watch, The rebellious, let them not exalt themselves. Selah.

Let, My Lord, but give the word, The herald bands, will be a mighty host:

A mighty mountain, is the mountain of Bashan, A mountain of peaks, is the mountain of Bashan! -

Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast led in procession a body of captives, Thou hast received gifts consisting of men, Yea even the rebellious, That, Yah, Elohim, might settle down to rest.

Rebuke thou, The wild beast of the reeds, The herd of mighty oxen among the calves of the peoples - Each one bowing down with bars of silver, - Scatter thou the peoples, who in wars take delight.

As for the GOD of Israel, he, is giving strength and abundant might to the people. Blessed be God!

I will enter into the mighty doings of My Lord - Yahweh, I will make mention of thy righteousness - thine alone.

Even now, therefore, that I am old and grayheaded, O God, do not forsake me, - Until I tell of thine arm unto a new generation, Unto every one that is to come, thy might;

When I reasoned, that I might understand this, A vexation, it was in mine eyes:

Thou, didst cleave asunder, in thy might, the sea, Thou didst break in pieces the heads of the Crocodiles, till they floated on the waters;

The valiant of heart have become a spoil, They have slumbered their sleep, And none of the men of might have found their hands.

Thou, art GOD, doing wonderfully, - Thou hast made known, among the peoples, thy might;

In the sea, was thy way, And, thy path, in the mighty waters, And, thy footprints, could not be known:

We will not withhold them from their children, To a later generation, recounting the praises of Yahweh, Even his might and his wonders which he wrought;

When he set up a testimony in Jacob, And, a law, appointed in Israel, - Which he commanded our fathers, That they might make them known to their children;

To the end, A later generation, might come m know, Children who should be born, Who should arise, and recount them to their children;

That they might set, in Elohim, their confidence, - And not forget the doings of El, But, his commandments, might observe;

He used to cleave rocks in the desert, And let them drink as out of mighty deeps;

The food of the mighty, each one did eat, Nourishment, sent he them to the full;

He let loose an east wind in the heavens, Then guided he, in his might, a south wind;

Covered were the mountains with its shade, And, with its boughs, the mighty cedars.

So then I let them go on in the stubbornness of their own heart, - They might walk in their own counsels!

For whom, in the skies, can one compare unto Yahweh? Or can one liken unto Yahweh, among the sons of the mighty?

O Yahweh, God of hosts! Who, like thee, is mighty, O Yah! With thy faithfulness round about thee:

Thine is an arm with might, Strong is thy hand, High is thy right hand;

Then spakest thou in vision of thy men of lovingkindness, and saidst - I have laid help upon a mighty one, I have exalted one chosen from among the people;

To the end the Name of Yahweh, might be celebrated in Zion, And his praise in Jerusalem:

That he might bind his rulers as he pleased, And, his elders, he might embue with wisdom.

In order that they might observe his statutes, And, over his laws, might keep watch, Praise ye Yah.

Who can relate the mighty deeds of Yahweh? can cause to be heard, all his praise?

Yet he saved them, for the sake of his Name, to make known his mighty power;

And led them by a straight road, That they might journey to a city to dwell in.

Men who go down to the sea, in ships, doing business through mighty waters;

Because that he remembered not to show lovingkindness, but pursued the man that was oppressed and needy, that, the downhearted, he might slay.

The might of his works, hath he declared to his people, that he may give them the inheritance of the nations.

Mighty in the earth, shall be his seed, The generation of the upright, shall be blessed;

My vows - to Yahweh, will I pay, Might it be in presence of all his people!

My vows - to Yahweh, will I pay, Might it be in the presence of all his people; -

Thou didst, thrust sore, at me that I might fall, But, Yahweh, hath helped me.

My might and melody, is Yah, and he hath become mine by salvation.

Oh would that my ways might be settled! that I might keep thy statutes.

It is, well for me, that I was afflicted, That I might learn thy statutes.

From every way of wickedness, have I withheld my feet, that I might keep thy word.

For the sake of my brethren and friends, Oh, might I speak saying , Peace be within thee!

If it had not been, Yahweh, who was on our side, oh might Israel say:
