Can you draw out leviathan with a hook? or his tongue with a cord which you let down?

Can you put a rope in his nose? or pierce his jaw through with a hook?

Will you play with him as with a bird? or will you leash him for your maidens?

Shall your companions make a banquet of him? shall they apportion him among the merchants?

Can you fill his skin with harpoons? or his head with fish spears?

Lay your hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.

Who can remove the face of his garment? or who can approach him with a double bridle?

Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible all around.

His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.

One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.

They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be parted.

By his sneezings a light flashes, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

Out of his nostrils goes smoke, as out of a boiling pot or caldron.

The folds of his flesh are joined together: they are firm on him; they cannot be moved.

When he raises up himself, the mighty are afraid: because of his crashings they are beside themselves.

The arrow cannot make him flee: clingstones with him are turned into stubble.

Darts are counted as straw: he laughs at the threat of a javelin.

His undersides are like sharp stones: he spreads sharp pointed marks upon the mire.

I have heard of you by the hearing of the ear: but now my eye sees you.

And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends: for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.

Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that you have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.

And in all the land were no women found so beautiful as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.

The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

I will declare the decree: the LORD has said unto me, You are my Son; this day have I begotten you.

Ask of me, and I shall give you the nations for your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

[A Psalm of David when he fled from Absalom his son.] LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.

But you, O LORD, are a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.

Salvation belongs unto the LORD: your blessing is upon your people. Selah.

Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.

There are many that say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift up the light of your countenance upon us.

[To the Chief Musician. With flutes. A Psalm of David.] Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.

For you are not a God that has pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with you.

The foolish shall not stand in your sight: you hate all workers of iniquity.

But as for me, I will come into your house in the multitude of your mercy: and in your fear will I worship toward your holy temple.

Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before my face.

But let all those that put their trust in you rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because you defend them: let them also that love your name be joyful in you.

[To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. According to sheminith. A Psalm of David.] O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.

Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are troubled.

Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for your mercies' sake.

Arise, O LORD, in your anger, lift up yourself because of the rage of my enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that you have commanded.

[To the Chief Musician upon gittith. A Psalm of David.] O LORD our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth! who have set your glory above the heavens.

Out of the mouth of babes and infants have you ordained strength because of your enemies, that you might still the enemy and the avenger.

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;

What is man, that you are mindful of him? and the son of man, that you visit him?

You made him to have dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet:

The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passes through the paths of the seas.

O LORD our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth!

[To the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Death of the Son." A Psalm of David.] I will praise you, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all your marvelous works.

I will be glad and rejoice in you: I will sing praise to your name, O most High.

When my enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at your presence.

O you enemy, destructions are come to an everlasting end: and you have destroyed cities; their memory is perished with them.

And they that know your name will put their trust in you: for you, LORD, have not forsaken them that seek you.

That I may show forth all your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in your salvation.

The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the nations be judged in your sight.

His ways are always prosperous; your judgments are far above, out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he sneers at them.

He sits in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places does he murder the innocent: his eyes are secretly set against the poor.

Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up your hand: forget not the humble.

You have seen it: for you behold mischief and spite, to repay it with your hand: the poor commits himself unto you; you are the helper of the fatherless.

The LORD is King forever and ever: the nations are perished out of his land.

LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble: you will prepare their heart, you will cause your ear to hear:

[To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.] In the LORD put I my trust: how say you to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?

For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may secretly shoot at the upright in heart.

Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tested in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

The wicked prowl on every side, when vile men are exalted.

[To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.] How long will you forget me, O LORD? forever? how long will you hide your face from me?

But I have trusted in your mercy; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.

[To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.] The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that does good.

The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that does good, no, not one.

There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD brings back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

[A Psalm of David.] LORD, who shall abide in your tabernacle? who shall dwell in your holy hill?

O my soul, you have said unto the LORD, You are my Lord: my goodness reaches not to you;

But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the noble, in whom is all my delight.

The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

For you will not leave my soul in sheol; neither will you allow your Holy One to see corruption.

You will show me the path of life: in your presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.

[A prayer of David.] Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goes not out of feigned lips.

Let my vindication come forth from your presence; let your eyes behold the things that are right.

Concerning the works of men, by the word of your lips I have kept myself from the paths of the destroyer.

Hold up my steps in your paths, that my feet slip not.

I have called upon you, for you will hear me, O God: incline your ear unto me, and hear my speech.

Show your marvelous lovingkindness, O you that save by your right hand them who put their trust in you from those that rise up against them.

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

They are enclosed in their own fat hearts: with their mouth they speak proudly.

They have now surrounded us in our steps: they have set their eyes, crouching down to the earth;

Like as a lion that is greedy of its prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

Arise, O LORD, confront him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, by your sword:

From men by your hand, O LORD, from men of the world, who have their portion in this life, and whose belly you fill with your hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

As for me, I will behold your face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with your likeness.

Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was angry.

There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

He made darkness his secret place; his canopy round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

Then the channels of the sea were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered at your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.

He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them who hated me: for they were too strong for me.

For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
