Those who trust in Yahweh [are] like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, [but] abides forever.

Do good, O Yahweh, to the good, and to [those] upright in their hearts.

But regarding those who turn aside to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the evildoers. Peace [be] upon Israel.

Those who sow with tears shall reap with rejoicing.

[Those who] make them become like them, [as does] everyone who trusts in them.

Do I not hate those who hate you, O Yahweh? And do I [not] loathe those who rise up against you?

[With respect to the] head of [those who] surround me, may the harm of their lips cover them.

For [the] enemy has pursued my soul; he has crushed my life to the ground. He has made me dwell in dark places like [those] long dead.

Quickly answer me, O Yahweh; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me, or I will become like [those] descending to [the] pit.

He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; he also hears their cry for help, and saves them.

Yahweh protects all those who love him, but all the wicked he will exterminate.

Yahweh opens [the eyes of the] blind; Yahweh raises up [those] bowed down; Yahweh loves [the] righteous;

Yahweh takes pleasure in those who fear him, the ones who hope for his loyal love.

Like Sheol, we will swallow them alive and whole, {like those who descend to the pit}.

For the upright, he stores sound judgment, a shield for those who walk uprightly,

those who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in ways of darkness,

those who are happy to do evil, [for] they delight in [the] deviousness of evil,

So that you will walk on the road of those who are good, and the paths of those who are righteous you shall keep.

For those who are upright will dwell [in the] land, and those who are blameless will remain in it.

And those who are wicked will be cut off from the land, and those who are treacherous will be uprooted from it.

She is a tree of life for those who seize her; those who take hold of her are considered happy.

for he who is perverse [is] an abomination of Yahweh, but those who are upright [are] his confidence.

With those who scorn, he is scornful, but to those who are humble, he gives favor.

In the path of the wicked do not go; do not walk in the way of those who do evil.

For they are life to those who find them and healing {to the entire body}.

All of them are straight to him who understands, and upright to those who find knowledge.

I love {those who love me}, and those who seek me diligently shall find me.

[in order] to endow those who love me [with] wealth, and I will fill their treasuries.

"And now, children, listen to me; happy [are] those who will keep my ways.

But he who misses me injures himself. All those who hate me love death."

[in order] to call to those who pass by the road, those who go straight [on] their way:

Those who are wise lay up knowledge, but [to] the mouth of the fool, ruin draws near.

An abomination of Yahweh [are] the {crooked of heart}, but his delight [are] {those with blameless ways}.

Deceit [is] in the heart of {those who plan} evil, but to {those who plan} peace, [there is] joy.

Only by insolence is strife set up, and wisdom [is] with those who take advice.

Have they not erred, those who plan evil? But loyalty and faithfulness [belong to] those who plan good.

Death and life [are] in the {power} of the tongue, and those who love her will eat of her fruit.

[It is] a joy to the righteous to do justice, but dismay to those who do evil.

For Yahweh will plead their case and despoil those who despoil them of life.

Do not be with those who {give a pledge} {by becoming} surety.

To those who linger over wine, to those who come to try mixed wine.

Rescue those who are led away to the death and those who stagger to the slaughter. If you hold back,

Fear Yahweh, my son, and the king; with those who change, do not associate.

Like the cold of snow on a day of harvest [is] a faithful messenger to those who send him, and the soul of his master is refreshed.

Those who forsake instruction will praise the wicked, but they who guard instruction will struggle against them.

A ruler who lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor, [but] those who hate unjust gain will have long days.

Many are those who seek the {favor} of a ruler, but from Yahweh {one obtains justice}.

Give strong drink to him who is perishing, and wine to those {in bitter distress}.

I looked again, and I saw all the oppression that occurs under the sun. {I saw the tears of the oppressed-- no one comforts them! Those who oppress them are powerful-- no one can comfort them}!

When prosperity increases, those who consume it increase. {So its owner gains nothing, except to see his wealth before it is spent}.

I saw all this as I applied my heart to all the deeds done under the sun: {sometimes those in authority harm others}.

Meanwhile, I saw the wicked being [honorably] buried, but those who came and went from the holy place were forgotten in the city, even though they had done so. This also [is] vanity!

Although the sinner does evil a hundred times and prolongs his life, yet I also know that it will be good for those who fear God--because they fear {his presence}.

The same fate [comes] to everyone: to the righteous and to the wicked, to the good and to the wicked, to the clean and to the unclean, to those who sacrifice and to those who do not sacrifice. As [with] the good [man], so also to the sinner; [as with] those who swear an oath, so [also] those who fear oaths.

When the guards of the house tremble, and the men of strength are bent; the grinders cease because they are few, and those looking through the windows see dimly.

The sentinels making rounds in the city found me; they beat me, they wounded me; they took my cloak away from me-- {those sentinels on the walls}!

{My own "vineyard" belongs to me}; the "thousand" are for you, O Solomon, {and "two hundred" for those who tend its fruit}.

Zion will be redeemed by justice, and those of her who repent, by righteousness.

But [the] destruction [of] rebels and sinners [shall be] together, and those who forsake Yahweh will perish.

Ah! Those who {join} house with house, they join field together with field until {there is no place} and you are caused to dwell alone in the midst of the land.

Ah! Those who rise early in the morning, they pursue strong drink. Those who linger in the evening, wine inflames them.

Therefore Sheol has enlarged its throat, and it has opened wide its mouth without limit, and her nobles will go down, and her multitude, her tumult and those who revel in her.

Ah! Those who drag iniquity along with the cords of falsehood and sin as with rope of the cart,

those who say, "Let him make haste; let him hurry his work so that we may see it and let it draw near and let the plan of the holy one of Israel come so that we may know [it]!"

Ah! Those who call evil good and good evil, those who put darkness for light and light for darkness, those who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

Ah! [Those who are] wise in their own eyes and have understanding {in their view}!

Those who acquit the guilty because of a bribe and remove [the] justice of [the] innocent from him.

And the pivots of the thresholds shook from the sound of those who called, and the house was filled [with] smoke.

Now if they tell you, "Consult the ghosts and the spirits, those who chirp and those who mutter. Should not a people consult its gods, the dead on behalf of the living,

{But there will be no gloom for those who were in distress}. In former times he treated [the] land of Zebulun and Naphtali with contempt, but in the future he will honor the way of the sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee [of] the nations.

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; light has shined on those who lived in a land of darkness.

And the leaders of this people were misleading [them], and those who were led [were] confused.

Ah! Those who decree decrees of evil, and writers who have written harm,

As my hand has reached to the kingdoms of the idols --and their images were {greater than those of} Jerusalem and Samaria--

Those who see you will stare at you, they will look closely at you: '[Is] this the man who made the earth tremble, who caused kingdoms to shake,

But [as for] you, you are thrown away from your grave, like an abhorrent shoot, clothed with [the] slain, those pierced [by the] sword, those who go down to [the] stones of [the] pit, like a corpse that is trodden down.

At [the] time of evening, and look, terror! Before morning he is no more. This [is] the fate of those who plunder us and [the] lot of those who plunder us.

And the fishers will mourn, and all of those who cast fishhooks in the Nile will lament, and those who spread out fishing nets on [the] {surface} of [the] water will languish.

And [the] workers of combed flax will be ashamed, and those who weave white linen.

And this shall happen: her merchandise and her harlot's wages [will be] set apart for Yahweh; it will not be stored up, and it will not be hoarded, but her merchandise will be for those who live before the {presence} of Yahweh, for eating to satiation and for fine clothing.

They do not drink wine with song; strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.

Does he strike him {as he struck down those who struck him}? Or is he killed {as those who killed him were killed}?

And this shall happen: on that day, a great trumpet will be blown, and those who were lost in the land of Assyria will come, and those who were scattered in the land of Egypt, and they will bow down to Yahweh on the {holy mountain} at Jerusalem.

and a spirit of justice to the one who sits over judgment, and strength [to] those who turn back [the] battle [at the] gate.

[To] whom will he teach knowledge, and [to] whom will he explain [the] message? Those who are weaned from milk, [those] taken from [the] breast?

And the multitude of all the nations who fight against Ariel, all those who fight [against] her and her stronghold, and those who inflict her shall be like dream, a vision of [the] night.

Ah! Those who make a plan deep, to hide [it] from Yahweh, and their deeds are in a dark place. And they say, "Who sees us? And who knows us?"

For [the] tyrant shall be no more, and [the] scoffer shall come to an end. And all those lying in wait for evil shall be cut off;

those who mislead a person into sin with a word and set a trap for the {arbitrator} in the gate and guide away [the] righteous by emptiness.

And those who err [in] spirit will {acquire} understanding, and those who grumble will learn instruction.

who say to those who do see, "You must not see!" and to the seers, "You must not see truth for us; speak smooth things to us, see illusions,

Therefore Yahweh waits to be gracious [to] you, and therefore he will rise up to show you mercy, for Yahweh [is] a God of justice; blessed [are] all those who wait for him.

Ah! Those who go down [to] Egypt for help! They rely on horses and trust in chariots because [they are] many, and in horsemen because they are very numerous, and they do not look to the holy one of Israel, and they do not consult Yahweh.

And [the] eyes of those who see will not gaze, and [the] ears of those who hear will listen.

Say to those who are hasty of heart, "Be strong; you must not fear! Look! your God will come [with] vengeance, [with] {divine retribution}. He {is the one who} will come and save you."

Look, you trust in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt, which [if] a man leans on it, goes into his hand and bores through it! Such [is] Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to all those who trust in him.

In those days, Hezekiah became sick to death, and Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, came to him and said to him, "Thus says Yahweh: 'Order your house, for you [are] about to die, and you shall not recover.'"

For Sheol cannot praise you; death [cannot] praise you. Those who go down [to the] pit cannot hope for your faithfulness.

He will feed his flock like a shepherd; he will gather [the] lambs in his arm, and he will carry [them] in his bosom; he will lead those who nurse.

But those who wait for Yahweh shall renew [their] strength. They shall go up [with] wings like eagles; they shall run and not grow weary; they shall walk and not be faint.
