Then said his wife unto him, Art thou still holding fast thine integrity? Curse God, and die!

And they sat with him upon the ground, seven days and seven nights, - and none was speaking unto him a word, for they saw that, exceeding great, was the stinging pain.

If one attempt a word unto thee, wilt thou be impatient? But, to restrain speech, who, can endure?

But, now, it cometh upon thee, and thou despairest, It smiteth even thee, and thou art dismayed.

If, pure and upright, thou thyself, art, surely, now, will he answer thy prayer, and will prosper thy righteous habitation:

Too small for thee, are the consolations of GOD? or a word spoken gently with thee?

Lo! these, are the fringes of his way, and what a whisper of a word hath been heard of him! But, the thunder of his might, who could understand?

Thou art turned to become a cruel one unto me, With the might of thy hand, thou assailest me;

If thou art able to answer me, Set in order before me - take thy stand!

If thou art righteous, what canst thou give unto him? Or what, at thy hand, can he accept?

But, with the plea of a lawless one, thou art full, Plea and sentence, will take fast hold.

Let me tell of a decree, - Yahweh, hath said unto me, My son, thou art, I, to-day, have begotten thee:

But, thou, Yahweh, art a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter up of my head.

For, not a GOD finding pleasure in lawlessness, art thou, and wrong can be no guest of thine:

Yahweh, is mine allotted portion and my cup, Thou, art maintaining my lot.

As for the workings of men, By the word of thy lips, have, I, taken heed of the paths of the violent one.

But, thou, art holy, Who inhabitest the praises of Israel.

For, thou, art he that severed me from the womb, he that caused me to trust, upon the breasts of my mother;

Yea, though I walk through a valley death-shadowed, I will fear no harm, for, thou, art with me, Thy rod and thy staff, they, comfort me.

Guide me into thy truth and teach me, for, thou, art my delivering God, For thee, have I waited all the day:

Because, my mountain crag and my stronghold, thou art, Therefore, for the sake of thine own Name, wilt thou lead me and guide me?

Wilt thou bring me forth, out of the net which they have hidden for me? For, thou, art my refuge.

I, therefore. in thee, have put ray trust, O Yahweh, I have said, My God, thou art!

Thou, art a hiding-place for me, From distress, wilt thou preserve me, - With shouts of deliverance, wilt thou compass me about. Selah.

For right is the word of Yahweh, and, all his wok, is in faithfulness:

By the word of Yahweh, the heavens were made, and, by the spirit of his mouth, all their host:

But, I, being oppressed and needy, May My Lord devise for me, - My help and my deliverer, thou art! O my God, do not tarry!

For, thou, art my defending God - Wherefore hast thou rejected me? Wherefore in gloom should I wander, because of the oppression of an enemy?

Thou thyself, art my king, O God, Command thou the victories of Jacob.

Thou dust make us, A by-word among the nations, - A shaking of the head among the peoples.

Most beautiful thou art, beyond the sons of men, Graciousness hath been poured forth by thy lips, For this cause, hath God blessed thee, to times age-abiding.

I will bend, to a by-word, mine ear, I will open, on the lyre, mine enigma.

But, a son of earth, though wealthy, cannot tarry, He hath made himself a by-word - Beasts, they resemble:

A son of earth though wealthy, who discerneth not, Hath made himself a by-word, Beasts, they resemble.

The sin of their mouth, The word of their lips, Let them then be captured in their pride, Both for the oath and for the deception they record.

O God, my GOD, thou art, Earnestly do I desire thee, - My soul thirsteth for thee, My flesh fainteth for thee, In a land - dry, and weary for want of water, -

Who have sharpened, like a sword, their tongue, Have made ready their arrow - a bitter word;

They strengthen for them a wicked word, They talk of hiding snares, They have said, Who can see them?

Let, My Lord, but give the word, The herald bands, will be a mighty host:

When I have made my clothing of sackcloth, Then have I served them for a by-word;

But, I, being humbled and needy, O God, haste to me, - My help and my deliverer, art thou, O Yahweh do not tarry.

Be thou unto me, a Rock to dwell in, a Place of Security, To save me, For, my mountain crag and my stronghold, thou art.

For, thou, art my hope, My Lord, Yahweh, My confidence from my youthful days:

Upon thee, have I stayed myself from birth, Thou art he that severed me, from the body of my mother, Of thee, shall be my praise - continually.

Enveloped in light, thou, art more majestic than the mountains of prey.

As for thee, to be feared thou art! Who then shall stand before thee, because of the power of thine anger?

Hath his lovingkindness, come to a perpetual end? Hath his word failed to generation after generation?

Thou, art GOD, doing wonderfully, - Thou hast made known, among the peoples, thy might;

O Shepherd of Israel, give ear, Thou who leddest forth Joseph like a rock, Thou who art throned on the cherubim, appear!

That men may know that, thou, Whose Name alone is Yahweh, Art Most High over all the earth.

For, thou, O My Lord, art good and forgiving, And abundant in lovingkindness, to all who call upon thee.

For great thou art, and doest wondrous things, Thou, O God, of thyself alone.

But, thou, O My Lord, art, A God of compassion and favour, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness a faithfulness.

For, the beauty of their strength, thou art, And, in thine acceptance, shall our horns be exalted.

He, shall cry out unto me, My Father, thou art, My GOD, and my Rock of Salvation!

Established hath been thy throne from of old, From age-past times, thou art.

For, thou, Yahweh, art Most High over all the earth, Greatly hast thou exalted thyself above all gods.
