{A Song of degrees.} Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth!

Those who weep while they plant will sing for joy while they harvest.

He that, doth indeed go forth, and weep, bearing seed enough to trail along, doth, surely come in, with shouting, bringing his sheaves.

It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up, Let Israel now say,

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up: Yet they have not prevailed against me.

Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

whereof the mower filleth not his hand, neither he that bindeth up the sheaves his bosom.

Out of the deep have I sent up my cry to you, O Lord.

Lord, there is no pride in my heart and my eyes are not lifted up; and I have not taken part in great undertakings, or in things over-hard for me.

Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;

There I cause to spring up a horn for David, I have arranged a lamp for Mine anointed.

Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD.

He makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes thunder-flames for the rain; he sends out the winds from his store-houses.

Those who make them will end up like them, as will everyone who trusts in them.

By the rivers of Babylon we sit down and weep when we remember Zion.

Upon the willows in the midst thereof We hanged up our harps.

For there they carrying us away captive asked us the words of a song; and they heaping us up gladness; Sing to us from the song of Zion.

Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember thee! if I do not lift up Jerusalem above the head of mine own gladness.

Though the Lord is high, he sees those who are low; and he has knowledge from far off of those who are lifted up.

The Lord will make all things complete for me: O Lord, your mercy is eternal; do not give up the works of your hands.

Thou -- Thou hast known my sitting down, And my rising up, Thou hast attended to my thoughts from afar.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot go up to it.

If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

If I lift up [the] wings of [the] dawn, [and] I alight on [the] far side of [the] sea,

If I counted them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand;
when I wake up, I am still with You.

Who exchange Thee for wickedness, Lifted up to vanity are Thine enemies.

Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

They devise evil things in their hearts;
They continually [gather together and] stir up wars.

Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
Preserve me from violent men
Who have purposed to trip up my feet.

Thou wilt not give, O Jehovah, the desires of the unjust one: thou wilt not bring forth his device; they will be lifted up. Silence.

Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.

Lord, I have made my cry to you; come to me quickly; give ear to my voice, when it goes up to you.

Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

Lord, set up a guard for my mouth;
keep watch at the door of my lips.

As one tilling and ripping up in the land, Have our bones been scattered at the command of Saul.

The sound of my cry went up to the Lord; with my voice I made my prayer for grace to the Lord.

Look to the right and see:
no one stands up for me;
there is no refuge for me;
no one cares about me.

Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

and in Your faithful love destroy my enemies.
Wipe out all those who attack me,
for I am Your servant.

That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:

Praise, of David. I will lift You up, my God, O King; and I will bless Your name forever and ever.

The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.

Jehovah openeth the eyes of the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;

Jehovah preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert.

The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.

He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.

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

Who is covering the heavens with clouds, Who is preparing for the earth rain, Who is causing grass to spring up on mountains,

Let them praise the name of the LORD, for his name alone is lifted up; his majesty transcends earth and heaven.

And he hath lifted up the horn of his people, The praise of all his saints; Even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye Jehovah.

The liftings up of God in their throat, and a sword of two mouths in their hand;

My son, give ear to the training of your father, and do not give up the teaching of your mother:

Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, And lay up my commandments with thee;

Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;

If you are looking for her as for silver, and searching for her as for stored-up wealth;

He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

Who give up the way of righteousness, to go by dark roads;

but the wicked shall be cut off from the land, and the unfaithful shall be plucked up out of it.

By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

Do not devise evil against your neighbor,
Who lives securely beside you.

Do not take up a cause at law against a man for nothing, if he has done you no wrong.

The wise will inherit honor,
but He holds up fools to dishonor.

For I give you good teaching; do not give up the knowledge you are getting from me.

Do not give her up, and she will keep you; give her your love, and she will make you safe.

Exalt her, and she doth lift thee up, She honoureth thee, when thou dost embrace her.

Otherwise, you will give up your vitality to others
and your years to someone cruel;

strangers will drain your resources,
and your earnings will end up in a foreigner’s house.

I didn’t obey my teachers
or listen closely to my mentors.

My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor
or entered into an agreement with a stranger,

She gets her meat in the summer, storing up food at the time of the grain-cutting.

How long will you lie down, lazy? When will you rise up from your sleep?

He always plots evil with perversity in his heart—
he stirs up trouble.

Eyes being lifted up; a tongue of falsehood, and hands shedding innocent blood,

a lying witness who gives false testimony,
and one who stirs up trouble among brothers.

Put them up together in thine heart, and bind them about thy neck.

In thy going up and down, it leadeth thee, In thy lying down, it watcheth over thee, And thou hast awaked -- it talketh with thee.

Can a man snatch up fire in his bosom, and, his clothes, not be burned?

They will not despise a thief if he shall steal to fill up his soul; for he will be hungry.

Still, if caught, he must pay seven times as much;
he must give up all the wealth in his house.

He will not lift up the face of any ransom, and he will not be willing if thou shalt increase the reward.

My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.

Keep my commands so that you may live, and obey my instruction as your most prized possession.

Does not wisdom call,
And understanding lift up her voice?

"It is you, O ye men," sayeth she, "whom I call! Unto you, O ye children of men, lift I up my voice.

Jehovah set me up the beginning of his way, before his works from ancient time.

I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

For when he made the heavens, I was present; when he set up the depths in order;

Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

"So listen to me, children! Blessed are those who obey me.

Wisdom has built her [spacious and sufficient] house;
She has hewn out and set up her seven pillars.

Give up the simple ones and have life, and go in the way of knowledge.

But he does not realize that the dead lurk there, and her invited guests wind up in the depths of Sheol.

Blessings, are for the head of the righteous man, but, the mouth of the lawless, covereth up wrong.

The wise in heart [are willing to learn so they] will accept and obey commands (instruction),
But the babbling fool [who is arrogant and thinks himself wise] will come to ruin.
