He that should have been lost, gave me a good word, and the widow's heart praised me.

Righteousness I have put on, and it clotheth me, As a robe and a diadem my justice.

"They listened and waited for me, as they remained in silence for my counsel.

And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.

They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me.

In times past thou didst set me up on high, as it were above the wind, but now hast thou given me a very sore fall.

(For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)

If his back did not give me a blessing, and the wool of my sheep did not make him warm;

Who giveth to me a hearing? lo, my mark. The Mighty One doth answer me, And a bill hath mine adversary written.

Surely I would carry it upon my shoulder; I would bind it unto me as a crown:

If you are able, give me an answer; put your cause in order, and come forward.

‘Behold, God finds pretexts against me;
He counts me as His enemy.

If you have anything to say, give me an answer; for it is my desire that you may be judged free from sin.

How may a hater of right be a ruler? and will you say that the upright Ruler of all is evil?

Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God's behalf.

Gird up thy loins like a man, for I will question thee, see thou give me a direct answer.

After the Lord had finished speaking to Job, He said to Eliphaz the Temanite: “I am angry with you and your two friends, for you have not spoken the truth about Me, as My servant Job has.

Now take seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and offer a burnt offering for yourselves. Then My servant Job will pray for you. I will surely accept his prayer and not deal with you as your folly deserves. For you have not spoken the truth about Me, as My servant Job has.”

Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness; Thou hast set me at large when I was in distress: Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

may an enemy pursue and overtake me;
may he trample me to the ground
and leave my honor in the dust.Selah

Let my voice come before you, and give me an answer, O Lord my God; let your light be shining on me, so that the sleep of death may not overtake me;

I have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved.

When you probe my heart, and examine me at night; when you refine me, you will find nothing wrong, for I have determined that I will not transgress with my mouth.

Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

Thus didst thou grant me, as a shield, thy salvation, - and, thy right hand, sustained me, and, thy condescension, made me great.

You rescued me from strife with people; you set me as head (over) nations. People I did not know served me;

As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me, but the strange children dissemble with me. {TYNDALE: And the aliens crouched unto me, and obeyed me at a word.}

They open wide their mouth at me,
As a ravening and a roaring lion.

For dogs have compassed me: A company of evil-doers have inclosed me; They pierced my hands and my feet.

The Lord takes care of me as his sheep; I will not be without any good thing.

Thou arrangest before me a table, Over-against my adversaries, Thou hast anointed with oil my head, My cup is full!

Though there pitch against me - a camp, my heart shall not fear, - Though there come up against me - a battle, still, am I confident.

O Lord, let the voice of my cry come to your ears: have mercy on me, and give me an answer.

Although my father and my mother have abandoned me,
Yet the Lord will take me up [adopt me as His child].

By Your favor and grace, O Lord, you have made my mountain stand strong;
You hid Your face, and I was horrified.

Bow down thine ear unto me; deliver me speedily: Be thou to me a strong rock, A house of defence to save me.

I have heard the slander of many; it is like terror all around me, as they conspire together and plot to take my life.

I {behaved} as [though he were] a friend [or] as a brother to me. As one lamenting a mother, I was bowed down [in] mourning.

Let not them who are falsely my foes rejoice over me, As for them who hate me without cause, let them not wink the eye!

My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

For I said, "Do not let them gloat over me, as they congratulate themselves when my foot slips."

My heart grew hot within me;
as I mused, a fire burned.
I spoke with my tongue:

From all my transgressions deliver me, A reproach of the fool make me not.

O spare me a little that I may recover my strength, before I go hence, and be no more seen."

He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay. He set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand.

And as for me, you are my support in my righteousness, giving me a place before your face for ever.

In the day-time will Jehovah command his loving-kindness, and in the night his song shall be with me, a prayer unto the God of my life.

My adversaries taunt me,
as if crushing my bones,
while all day long they say to me,
“Where is your God?”

Why should I fear in {times of calamity}, [when] iniquity surrounds me at my heels,

For every wild animal in the forest belongs to me, as well as the cattle that graze on a thousand hills.

He who is sacrificing praise honoureth Me, As to him who maketh a way, I cause him to look on the salvation of God!

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

Restore the joy of Your salvation to me,
and give me a willing spirit.

Fear and trembling, would enter me, And there would have overwhelmed me - a horror!

And I say, 'Who doth give to me a pinion as a dove? I fly away and rest,

A net they have prepared for my steps, Bowed down hath my soul, They have digged before me a pit, They have fallen into its midst. Selah.

But as for me, I will sing of thy strength; yea, I will sing aloud of thy loving-kindness in the morning; for thou hast been to me a high fortress, and a refuge in the day of my trouble.

So that your loved ones may be made safe, let your right hand be my salvation, and give me an answer.

Gilead belongs to me, as does Manasseh! Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my royal scepter.

Who will conduct me to fortified city? Who will lead me as far as Edom!

For thou hast been a refuge for me, A strong tower from the enemy.

You satisfy me as with rich food;
my mouth will praise You with joyful lips.

Iniquities prevail against me: As for our transgressions, thou wilt forgive them.

Those sitting at [the] gate talk about me [as] also [the] songs of [the] drunkards.

But as for me, let my prayer be made to you, O Lord, at a time when you are pleased; O God, give me an answer in your great mercy, for your salvation is certain.

Let not your face be covered from your servant, for I am in trouble; quickly give me an answer.

Be thou to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: Thou hast given commandment to save me; For thou art my rock and my fortress.

Let your ears be open to my voice, O Lord, and give me an answer; for I am poor and in need.

Teach me Your way, Yahweh,
and I will live by Your truth.
Give me an undivided mind to fear Your name.

O God, arrogant and insolent men have risen up against me;
A band of violent men have sought my life,
And they have not set You before them.

Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

They have surrounded me as waters all the day, They have gone round against me together,

What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? May a man deliver his own soul from the hand of hell? Selah.

But, Yahweh, hath become for me a high tower, And my God, my rock of refuge.

A perverse heart, shall depart from me, A maker of mischief, will I not acknowledge;

Gilead belongs to me, as does Manasseh! Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my royal scepter.

Who will conduct me to a fortified city? Who will lead me as far as Edom?

For the mouth of wickedness, and the mouth of deceit, Against me they have opened, They have spoken with me -- A tongue of falsehood, and words of hatred!

Appoint an evil person over him; may an accuser stand at his right side.

May a curse attach itself to him, like a garment one puts on, or a belt one wears continually!

and listened to me. As long as I live, I will call to him when I need help.

I made my prayer to the Lord in my trouble: and the Lord gave me an answer, and put me in a wide place.

Yahweh [is] for me as my helper, and [so] I will look [in triumph] on those who hate me.

They surrounded me as bees; they were quenched as the fire of thorns: in the name of Jehovah for I will destroy them.

I will give you praise, for you have given me an answer, and have become my salvation.

How may a young man make his way clean? by guiding it after your word.

I put the record of my ways before you, and you gave me an answer: O give me knowledge of your rules.

I will run the way of Your commandments [with purpose],
For You will give me a heart that is willing.

Give me a desire for your rules, rather than for wealth gained unjustly.

And I answer him who is reproaching me a word, For I have trusted in Thy word.

I have given my mind to do your pleasure with all my heart; have mercy on me, as you have said.

May Your faithful love comfort me
as You promised Your servant.

Sustain me as You promised, and I will live;
do not let me be ashamed of my hope.

Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.

Listen to me because of your loyal love! O Lord, revive me, as you typically do!

Your compassion is great, O Lord. Revive me, as you typically do!

Let my request come before you; deliver me, as you have promised.

In my trouble my cry went up to the Lord, and he gave me an answer.

When my cry came to your ears you gave me an answer, and made me great with strength in my soul.
