Behold, sons are the inheritance of Jehovah: the reward of the fruit of the womb.

As arrows in the hand of the strong one, so are sons of youth.

Song of ascensions to David. O Jehovah, my heart was not lifted up, and mine eyes were not exalted, and I went not in great things and in wonders above me.

Lift up your hand to the holy place, and praise ye Jehovah.

Standing in the house of Jehovah, in the enclosures of the house of our God.

For I knew that great is Jehovah, and our Lord above all gods.

The images of the nation are silver and gold, the work of man's hands.

He remembered for us our lowness: for his mercy is forever:

And he will redeem us from our enemies: for his mercy is forever.

By the rivers of Babel, there we sat down: also we wept in our remembering Zion.

Upon the willows in her midst, we hung our harps;

I will praise thee; for I was wonderfully distinguished: thy works are wonders, and my soul knew greatly.

My bones were not hid from thee, when I was made in secret. I was variegated in the lower parts of the earth.

Thine eyes saw my substance unformed; and upon thy book all of them shall be written; the days they were formed, and not one in them.

And to me how were thy thoughts precious, O God! how were their heads strong!

For they will say to thee for mischief; thine enemies were lifted up for vanity.

I hated them with completeness of hatred: they were to me for enemies.

I said to Jehovah, Thou my God: give ear, O Jehovah, to the voice of my supplication.

Chanting to David. O Jehovah, I called to thee; hasten to me; give ear to my voice in my calling to thee.

Their judges were cast down against the hands of the rock, and they heard my words, for they were sweet.

As he cutting up and cleaving asunder in the earth, our bones were scattered at the mouth of hades.

For to thee, O Jehovah my Lord, are mine eyes: in thee I put my trust; thou wilt not make my soul naked.

Attend to my cry, for I languished greatly: deliver me from those pursuing me, for they were strengthened above me.

Chanting to David. O Jahovah, hear my prayer, give ear to my supplication: in thy faithfulness answer me; in thy justice.

. To David. Blessed be Jehovah my rock, teaching my hands for the encounter, my fingers for war;

That our sons as plants growing great in their youth, our daughters as corners variegated, the likeness of a temple:

Our garners being filled, bringing forth from sort to sort; our sheep bringing forth thousands, ten thousands in our streets:

Our oxen bearing no breaking, and no coming forth, and no complaining in our broad places.

Praise ye Jah: for it is good to play on the harp to our God; for it is pleasant: praise is becoming.

Great our Lord, and great of power: to his understanding no number.

Strike up to Jehovah with praise; play upon the harp to our God:

They shall praise the name of Jehovah, for he commanded and they were created:

We shall find precious riches, we will fill our houses with spoil:

Also I will laugh at your ruin: I will deride in the coming of your terror;

In your terror coming as a destroying tempest, and your ruin shall come as a whirlwind; in the coming upon you of straits and distress.

To attend to wisdom thou wilt incline thine ear, thy heart to understanding;

Whose paths are perverted, and in their tracks are bent aside:

By his knowledge the depths were rent, and the clouds will drop dew.

My son, attend to my word; incline thine ear to my sayings.

For they are life to those finding them, and healing to all their flesh.

My son, attend to my wisdom; incline thine ear to understanding:

And I heard not to the voice of him teaching me, and I inclined not mine ear to him instructing me.

For before the eyes of Jehovah are the ways of man, and he makes level all his tracks.

Till an arrow shall cleave his liver; as a bird hastening to the snare, and not knowing that it is for his soul.

In justice are all the sayings of my mouth; nothing in them crooked and perverse.

Riches and honor are with me; splendid riches and justice.

Before the mountains were settled; before the hills I had a beginning:

The perverse of heart are an abomination of Jehovah, and the blameless of way his delight

Hand to hand, the evil one shall not be unpunished: and the seed of the just were delivered.

The purposes of the just are judgment: the guidance of the unjust, deceit

The words of the unjust are the lying in wait of blood: and the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.

The unjust are overthrown, and they are not: and the house of the just shall stand.

The just one shall know the soul of his cattle: and the compassion of the unjust are cruel.

No iniquity shall approach to the just one: and the unjust were filled with evil.

In every place are the eyes of Jehovah observing closely the evil and the good.

Hades and destruction are before Jehovah: much more the hearts of the sons of man.

All the days of the afflicted are evil: and the good of heart drinking always.

The ear hearing the reproof of life shall lodge in the midst of the wise.

All the ways of man are clean in his eyes, and Jehovah tried the spirits.

Weighing and balances of judgment are to Jehovah, and his work all the stones of the bag.

Wisdom, is with the face of him understanding, and the eyes of the foolish one are in the ends of the earth.

Deep waters are the words of man's mouth, the fountain of wisdom a gushing stream.

The heart of him understanding will obtain knowledge and the ear of the wise will seek knowledge.

All the brethren of the poor hated him: how much more his friends removed far from him? pursuing words they are not

Deep waters are counsel in the heart of man; and a man of understanding will draw it out

The hearing ear and the seeing eye, Jehovah made, also them two.

The purpose shall be prepared by counsel, and with guidance make war.

He stopping his ear from the cry of the poor one also himself shall call and shall not be answered.

The horse is prepared for the day of war and salvation is to Jehovah.

The crafty saw evil, and he will hide, and the simple passed on and were punished.

Incline thine ear and hear the words of the wise, and thou shalt set thy heart to my knowledge.

For by guidance thou shalt make to thee war, and in the multitude of counselors salvation.

An earring of gold and a necklace of gold, the wise one reproving upon the hearing ear.

A mallet and a sword and an arrow sharpened, the man answering against his neighbor testimony of falsehood.

The legs of the lame were weak, and a parable in the mouth of the foolish.

The prudent one saw the evil, he hid himself; the simple passed and were punished.

A dropping thrust forth in the day of rain and a woman of strifes were alike.

The grass was uncovered and the young herbage was seen; and the green plants of the mountains were gathered.

He turning away his ear from hearing the law, also his prayer is an abomination.

A ruler listening to the word of falsehood, all serving him are unjust

Many are seeking the face of the ruler, and from Jehovah a man's judgment

A generation, how its eyes were raised up and its eyelashes will be lifted up.

They three were wonderful above me; and four, I knew them not:

They four the small of the earth, and they are wise, being made wise:

One girded in loins, or a he goat; and a king, no rising up with him.

All words becoming weary; man shall not be able to speak: the eye shall not be satisfied to see, and the ear shall not be filled from hearing.

It spake with my heart, saying, Behold, I was magnified, and added wisdom over all that were before me at Jerusalem: and my heart saw much of wisdom and knowledge.

I obtained servants and maids, and sons of the house were to me; also obtaining cattle, and many sheep were to me more than all that were before me in Jerusalem.

And who shall know whether he shall be wise or foolish? And he shall have dominion over all my labor which I labored, and was wise under the sun. Also this is vanity.

A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace:

I said in my heart concerning the speeches of the sons of man, for God to separate them, and for them to see that they are cattle to themselves.

All go to one place; all were from dust, and all turned back to dust.

And I turned back, and I shall see all the oppressions which are doing under the sun: and behold, the tears of the oppressed, and none comforting to them; and from the hand of those oppressing them was power, and none comforting to them.

And good above them two which were not yet, which saw not the evil work which was done under the sun.

Two are good above one, because there is to them a good reward in their labor.

No end to all the people, to all which were before them: also the last ones shall not rejoice in him. For also this is vanity and striving of the spirit

In the multitude of good they were multiplied eating it: and what the success to its possessors but seeing with his eyes?

The sleep of the servant is sweet, if little, or if much he shall eat: and the satiety to the rich not permitting to him to sleep.

Thou shalt not say, Why was it the former days were good above these? for thou didst not ask from wisdom concerning this

Wisdom shall strengthen to the wise one more than ten having power which were in the city.
