By David. O Lord, I come before you in prayer.

Come children! Listen to me! I will teach you what it means to fear the Lord.

They will not be ashamed when hard times come; when famine comes they will have enough to eat.

Then I say, "Look! I come! What is written in the scroll pertains to me.

Come! Witness the exploits of the Lord, who brings devastation to the earth!

A psalm by Asaph. El, God, the Lord speaks, and summons the earth to come from the east and west.

I wish the deliverance of Israel would come from Zion! When God restores the well-being of his people, may Jacob rejoice, may Israel be happy!

Come and witness God's exploits! His acts on behalf of people are awesome!

Come! Listen, all you who are loyal to God! I will declare what he has done for me.

as you come out of your temple in Jerusalem! Kings bring tribute to you.

They come with red cloth from Egypt, Ethiopia voluntarily offers tribute to God.

Come near me and redeem me! Because of my enemies, rescue me!

I will come and tell about the mighty acts of the sovereign Lord. I will proclaim your justice -- yours alone.

For victory does not come from the east or west, or from the wilderness.

In the sight of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh reveal your power! Come and deliver us!

O God, invincible warrior, come back! Look down from heaven and take notice! Take care of this vine,

They say, "Come on, let's annihilate them so they are no longer a nation! Then the name of Israel will be remembered no more."

All the nations, whom you created, will come and worship you, O Lord. They will honor your name.

No harm will overtake you; no illness will come near your home.

Come! Let's sing for joy to the Lord! Let's shout out praises to our protector who delivers us!

Come! Let's bow down and worship! Let's kneel before the Lord, our creator!

I will walk in the way of integrity. When will you come to me? I will conduct my business with integrity in the midst of my palace.

You will rise up and have compassion on Zion. For it is time to have mercy on her, for the appointed time has come.

But you remain; your years do not come to an end.

He ordered flies to come; gnats invaded their whole territory.

He ordered locusts to come, innumerable grasshoppers.

He loved to curse others, so those curses have come upon him. He had no desire to bless anyone, so he has experienced no blessings.

I have wandered off like a lost sheep. Come looking for your servant, for I do not forget your commands.

A song of ascents. I look up toward the hills. From where does my help come?

The one who weeps as he walks along, carrying his bag of seed, will certainly come in with a shout of joy, carrying his sheaves of grain.

It is vain for you to rise early, come home late, and work so hard for your food. Yes, he can provide for those whom he loves even when they sleep.

A psalm of David. O Lord, I cry out to you. Come quickly to me! Pay attention to me when I cry out to you!

O Lord, make the sky sink and come down! Touch the mountains and make them smolder!

The Lord rules forever, your God, O Zion, throughout the generations to come! Praise the Lord!

If they say, "Come with us! We will lie in wait to shed blood; we will ambush an innocent person capriciously.

and your poverty will come like a robber, and your need like an armed man.

Therefore, his disaster will come suddenly; in an instant he will be broken, and there will be no remedy.

Come, let's drink deeply of lovemaking until morning, let's delight ourselves with sexual intercourse.

"Come, eat some of my food, and drink some of the wine I have mixed.

The wise person accepts instructions, but the one who speaks foolishness will come to ruin.

The one who winks his eye causes trouble, and the one who speaks foolishness will come to ruin.

What the wicked fears will come on him; what the righteous desire will be granted.

The one who diligently seeks good seeks favor, but the one who searches for evil -- it will come to him.

The one who guards his words guards his life, but whoever is talkative will come to ruin.

But there will be delight for those who convict the guilty, and a pleasing blessing will come on them.

and your poverty will come like a bandit, and your need like an armed robber."

for it is better for him to say to you, "Come up here," than to put you lower before a prince, whom your eyes have seen.

Like a fluttering bird or like a flying swallow, so a curse without cause does not come to rest.

The one who digs a pit will fall into it; the one who rolls a stone -- it will come back on him.

She is clothed with strength and honor, and she can laugh at the time to come.

I thought to myself, "Come now, I will try self-indulgent pleasure to see if it is worthwhile." But I found that it also is futile.

For the wise man, like the fool, will not be remembered for very long, because in the days to come, both will already have been forgotten. Alas, the wise man dies -- just like the fool!

Both go to the same place, both come from the dust, and to dust both return.

Just as dreams come when there are many cares, so the rash vow of a fool occurs when there are many words.

Again, I observed this on the earth: the race is not always won by the swiftest, the battle is not always won by the strongest; prosperity does not always belong to those who are the wisest, wealth does not always belong to those who are the most discerning, nor does success always come to those with the most knowledge -- for time and chance may overcome them all.

So, if a man lives many years, let him rejoice in them all, but let him remember that the days of darkness will be many -- all that is about to come is obscure.

So remember your Creator in the days of your youth -- before the difficult days come, and the years draw near when you will say, "I have no pleasure in them";

Come out, O maidens of Zion, and gaze upon King Solomon! He is wearing the crown with which his mother crowned him on his wedding day, on the most joyous day of his life!

Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, come with me from Lebanon. Descend from the crest of Amana, from the top of Senir, the summit of Hermon, from the lions' dens and the mountain haunts of the leopards.

The Beloved to Her Lover: Awake, O north wind; come, O south wind! Blow on my garden so that its fragrant spices may send out their sweet smell. May my beloved come into his garden and eat its delightful fruit!

The Beloved to Her Lover: Come, my beloved, let us go to the countryside; let us spend the night in the villages.

Come, let's consider your options," says the Lord. "Though your sins have stained you like the color red, you can become white like snow; though they are as easy to see as the color scarlet, you can become white like wool.

many peoples will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the Lord's mountain, to the temple of the God of Jacob, so he can teach us his requirements, and we can follow his standards." For Zion will be the center for moral instruction; the Lord will issue edicts from Jerusalem.

He lifts a signal flag for a distant nation, he whistles for it to come from the far regions of the earth. Look, they come quickly and swiftly.

All of them will come and make their home in the ravines between the cliffs, and in the crevices of the cliffs, in all the thorn bushes, and in all the watering holes.

A remnant will come back, a remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.

They come from a distant land, from the horizon. It is the Lord with his instruments of judgment, coming to destroy the whole earth.

Please let the Moabite fugitives live among you. Hide them from the destroyer!" Certainly the one who applies pressure will cease, the destroyer will come to an end, those who trample will disappear from the earth.

The watchman replies, "Morning is coming, but then night. If you want to ask, ask; come back again."

"At that time," says the Lord who commands armies, "the peg fastened into a solid place will come loose. It will be cut off and fall, and the load hanging on it will be cut off." Indeed, the Lord has spoken.

I look for you during the night, my spirit within me seeks you at dawn, for when your judgments come upon the earth, those who live in the world learn about justice.

The dead do not come back to life, the spirits of the dead do not rise. That is because you came in judgment and destroyed them, you wiped out all memory of them.

Your dead will come back to life; your corpses will rise up. Wake up and shout joyfully, you who live in the ground! For you will grow like plants drenched with the morning dew, and the earth will bring forth its dead spirits.

When its branches get brittle, they break; women come and use them for kindling. For these people lack understanding, therefore the one who made them has no compassion on them; the one who formed them has no mercy on them.

At that time a large trumpet will be blown, and the ones lost in the land of Assyria will come, as well as the refugees in the land of Egypt. They will worship the Lord on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.

Whenever it sweeps by, it will overtake you; indeed, every morning it will sweep by, it will come through during the day and the night." When this announcement is understood, it will cause nothing but terror.

Judgment will come from the Lord who commands armies, accompanied by thunder, earthquake, and a loud noise, by a strong gale, a windstorm, and a consuming flame of fire.

Come near, you nations, and listen! Pay attention, you people! The earth and everything it contains must listen, the world and everything that lives in it.

until I come and take you to a land just like your own -- a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards.

"For a remnant will leave Jerusalem; survivors will come out of Mount Zion. The intense devotion of the Lord who commands armies will accomplish this.

Isaiah the prophet visited King Hezekiah and asked him, "What did these men say? Where do they come from?" Hezekiah replied, "They come from the distant land of Babylon."

"Listen to me in silence, you coastlands! Let the nations find renewed strength! Let them approach and then speak; let us come together for debate!

The coastlands see and are afraid; the whole earth trembles; they approach and come.

Look, my earlier predictive oracles have come to pass; now I announce new events. Before they begin to occur, I reveal them to you."

I remove the guilt of your rebellious deeds as if they were a cloud, the guilt of your sins as if they were a cloud. Come back to me, for I protect you."

This is what the Lord says, the Holy One of Israel, the one who formed him, concerning things to come: "How dare you question me about my children! How dare you tell me what to do with the work of my own hands!

Gather together and come! Approach together, you refugees from the nations! Those who carry wooden idols know nothing, those who pray to a god that cannot deliver.

Both of these will come upon you suddenly, in one day! You will lose your children and be widowed. You will be overwhelmed by these tragedies, despite your many incantations and your numerous amulets.

Now they come into being, not in the past; before today you did not hear about them, so you could not say, 'Yes, I know about them.'

If only you had obeyed my commandments, prosperity would have flowed to you like a river, deliverance would have come to you like the waves of the sea.

Look, they come from far away! Look, some come from the north and west, and others from the land of Sinim!
