For this he will know their work, and he turned the night, and they will be crushed.

When he giveth quietness, who then will disturb? and when he hideth his face, who shall behold him? and this towards a nation, or towards a man alike;

Also, at this my heart trembleth, And it moveth from its place.

And it goes this way and that, round about, turning itself by his guiding, to do whatever he gives orders to be done, on the face of his world of men,

He causes this to happen for punishment,
for His land, or for His faithful love.

Hear this, O Job, Stand and consider the wonders of God.

For this, men shall fear him: he will not see all the wise of heart.

Who is this -- darkening counsel, By words without knowledge?

when I declared: “You may come this far, but no farther;
your proud waves stop here”?

Have you comprehended the extent of the earth?
Tell Me, if you know all this.

Where is this -- the way light dwelleth? And darkness, where is this -- its place?

Do you observe the calving of the deer?

And gather it from your threshing floor?

“[If you can do all this, Job, proving your divine power] then I [God] will also praise you and acknowledge
That your own right hand can save you.

If a man will consider all high things, this same is a king over all the children of pride."

Who is this, hiding counsel without knowledge?' Therefore, I have declared, and understand not, Too wonderful for me, and I know not.

For this cause, I tremble and repent, on dust and ashes.

And Job liveth after this a hundred and forty years, and seeth his sons, and his sons' sons, four generations;

The wicked are not like this;
instead, they are like chaff that the wind blows away.

For this reason the wicked cannot withstand judgment, nor can sinners join the assembly of the godly.

I will declare the decree: Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; I this day have begotten thee.

Of Jehovah is this salvation; On Thy people is Thy blessing! Selah.

Know this also, that the LORD hath chosen to himself the man that is godly; when I call upon the LORD, he will hear me.

Be angry, yet do not sin. Think about this when upon your beds, and be silent. Interlude

I am absolutely terrified, and you, Lord -- how long will this continue?

O Jehovah, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands,

The wicked are turned back and sent to Sheol; this is the destiny of all the nations that ignore God,

Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.

Thou, O Jehovah, dost preserve them, Thou keepest us from this generation to the age.

He does not charge interest when he lends his money. He does not take bribes to testify against the innocent. The one who lives like this will never be upended.

Because of this my heart is glad, and my glory is full of joy: while my flesh takes its rest in hope.

From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form. For the Chief Musician.

To the Overseer. -- By a servant of Jehovah, by David, who hath spoken to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul, and he saith: -- I love Thee, O Jehovah, my strength.

Because of this the Lord has given me the reward of my righteousness, because my hands are clean in his eyes.

This God--his way [is] blameless. The word of Yahweh [is] flawless. He [is] a shield for all those who take refuge in him.

Because of this I will give you praise, O Lord, among the nations, and will make a song of praise to your name.

They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.

Who is this -- 'the king of glory?' Jehovah -- strong and mighty, Jehovah, the mighty in battle.

Remember your compassionate and faithful deeds, O Lord, for you have always acted in this manner.

Good and upright, is Yahweh, For this cause, will he direct sinners into the way.

Who is this -- the man fearing Jehovah? He directeth him in the way He doth choose.

Though a host doth encamp against me, My heart doth not fear, Though war riseth up against me, In this I am confident.

I have asked the Lord for one thing -- this is what I desire! I want to live in the Lord's house all the days of my life, so I can gaze at the splendor of the Lord and contemplate in his temple.

And now my head will be lifted up higher than my haters who are round me: because of this I will make offerings of joy in his tent; I will make a song, truly I will make a song of praise to the Lord.

I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living.

The Lord is my strength and my breastplate, my heart had faith in him and I am helped; for this cause my heart is full of rapture, and I will give him praise in my song.

For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.

This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

O Lord, how long are you going to just stand there and watch this? Rescue me from their destructive attacks; guard my life from the young lions!

I have told the great assembly about your justice. Look! I spare no words! O Lord, you know this is true.

My enemies ask this cruel question about me, 'When will he finally die and be forgotten?'

All mine enemies whisper together against me; even against me do they imagine this evil.

By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
From everlasting to everlasting [from this age to the next, and forever].
Amen and Amen (so be it).

I remember this as I pour out my heart:
how I walked with many,
leading the festive procession to the house of God,
with joyful and thankful shouts.

Why am I so depressed?
Why this turmoil within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him,
my Savior and my God.

My God! over myself, my soul is cast down, - For this cause, will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, And the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.

Why am I so depressed?
Why this turmoil within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him,
my Savior and my God.

Why am I so depressed?
Why this turmoil within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him,
my Savior and my God.

Because of this we are turned back by the attacker: those who have hate for us take our goods for themselves.

All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.

Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

For the music director; according to the tune of "Lilies;" by the Korahites, a well-written poem, a love song. My heart is stirred by a beautiful song. I say, "I have composed this special song for the king; my tongue is as skilled as the stylus of an experienced scribe."

You are the most handsome of all men! You speak in an impressive and fitting manner! For this reason God grants you continual blessings.

You love justice and hate evil. For this reason God, your God has anointed you with the oil of joy, elevating you above your companions.

I will keep the memory of your name living through all generations; and because of this the people will give you praise for ever.

For this reason we do not fear when the earth shakes, and the mountains tumble into the depths of the sea,

For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.} Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:

This thou doest, while I hold my tongue: and thinkest wickedly that I am even such a one as thyself; but I will reprove thee, and set before thee the things that thou hast done.

Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.

Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

This is why God will bring you down forever.
He will take you, ripping you out of your tent;
He will uproot you from the land of the living.Selah

When the godly see this, they will be filled with awe, and will mock the evildoer, saying:

Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

I want to deliver myself quickly from this windstorm and tempest."

This goeth day and night about the walls; mischief and vice are in the midst of it.

When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.

{To the Chanter, Destroy Not, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul into the cave} Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me, for my soul trusteth in thee: and under the shadow of thy wings shall be my refuge, until this tyranny be overpast.

You will prolong the king’s life [adding days upon days];
His years will be like many generations.

God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.

For this reason I will praise you while I live; in your name I will lift up my hands.
