It happened, when all our enemies heard [of it], that all the nations that were about us feared, and were much cast down in their own eyes; for they perceived that this work was worked of our God.

My God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at the first, and I found written therein:

Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites who taught the people, said to all the people, "This day is holy to Yahweh your God. Don't mourn, nor weep." For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.

and found his heart faithful before you, and made a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite, and the Girgashite, to give it to his seed, and have performed your words; for you are righteous.

"You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heard their cry by the Red Sea,

Therefore you delivered them into the hand of their adversaries, who distressed them. In the time of their trouble, when they cried to you, you heard from heaven; and according to your manifold mercies you gave them saviors who saved them out of the hand of their adversaries.

But after they had rest, they did evil again before you; therefore left you them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them; yet when they returned, and cried to you, you heard from heaven; and many times you delivered them according to your mercies,

They offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced; for God had made them rejoice with great joy; and the women also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.

It came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.

On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcass, the seven eunuchs who served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,

Today, the princesses of Persia and Media who have heard of the queen's deed will tell all the king's princes. This will cause much contempt and wrath.

So it happened, when the king's commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together to the citadel of Susa, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was taken into the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.

Then Haman went out that day joyful and glad of heart, but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he didn't stand up nor move for him, he was filled with wrath against Mordecai.

So Haman came in. The king said to him, "What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor?" Now Haman said in his heart, "Who would the king delight to honor more than myself?"

Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen, "Who is he, and where is he who dared presume in his heart to do so?"

Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that had come on him, they each came from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, and they made an appointment together to come to sympathize with him and to comfort him.

It stood still, but I couldn't discern its appearance. A form was before my eyes. Silence, then I heard a voice, saying,

Shall they not teach you, tell you, and utter words out of their heart?

God who is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who has hardened himself against him, and prospered?

Yet you hid these things in your heart. I know that this is with you:

"If you set your heart aright, stretch out your hands toward him.

"Behold, my eye has seen all this. My ear has heard and understood it.

Have you heard the secret counsel of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?

Why does your heart carry you away? Why do your eyes flash,

They conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. Their heart prepares deceit."

"I have heard many such things. You are all miserable comforters!

For you have hidden their heart from understanding, Therefore you shall not exalt them.

My days are past, my plans are broken off, as are the thoughts of my heart.

"Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard. I cry for help, but there is no justice.

Whom I, even I, shall see on my side. My eyes shall see, and not as a stranger. "My heart is consumed within me.

I have heard the reproof which puts me to shame. The spirit of my understanding answers me.

Please receive instruction from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart.

For God has made my heart faint. The Almighty has terrified me.

I hold fast to my righteousness, and will not let it go. My heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.

Destruction and Death say, 'We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.'

For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it commended me:

the blessing of him who was ready to perish came on me, and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.

My heart is troubled, and doesn't rest. Days of affliction have come on me.

if my step has turned out of the way, if my heart walked after my eyes, if any defilement has stuck to my hands,

"If my heart has been enticed to a woman, and I have laid wait at my neighbor's door,

if his heart hasn't blessed me, if he hasn't been warmed with my sheep's fleece;

and my heart has been secretly enticed, and my hand threw a kiss from my mouth,

if like Adam I have covered my transgressions, by hiding my iniquity in my heart,

My words shall utter the uprightness of my heart. That which my lips know they shall speak sincerely.

"Surely you have spoken in my hearing, I have heard the voice of your words, saying,

If he set his heart on himself, If he gathered to himself his spirit and his breath,

so that they caused the cry of the poor to come to him. He heard the cry of the afflicted.

Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are, and your righteousness may profit a son of man.

"But those who are godless in heart lay up anger. They don't cry for help when he binds them.

"Yes, at this my heart trembles, and is moved out of its place.

After it a voice roars. He thunders with the voice of his majesty. He doesn't hold back anything when his voice is heard.

Therefore men revere him. He doesn't regard any who are wise of heart."

The waters become hard like stone, when the surface of the deep is frozen.

His heart is as firm as a stone, yes, firm as the lower millstone.

I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you.

Stand in awe, and don't sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. Selah.

You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. They flatter with their tongue.

Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for Yahweh has heard the voice of my weeping.

Yahweh has heard my supplication. Yahweh accepts my prayer.

My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.

I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.

For the wicked boasts of his heart's cravings. He blesses the greedy, and condemns Yahweh.

He says in his heart, "I shall not be shaken. For generations I shall have no trouble."

He says in his heart, "God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it."

Why does the wicked person condemn God, and say in his heart, "God won't call me into account?"

Yahweh, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,

For, behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrows on the strings, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt. They have done abominable works. There is none who does good.

He who walks blamelessly does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart;

I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.

You have proved my heart. You have visited me in the night. You have tried me, and found nothing. I have resolved that my mouth shall not disobey.

In my distress I called on Yahweh, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry before him came into his ears.

There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

Yahweh's precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. Yahweh's commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

May He grant you your heart's desire, and fulfill all your counsel.

You have given him his heart's desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.

I am poured out like water. All my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax; it is melted within me.

For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, Neither has he hidden his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard.

He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.

The troubles of my heart are enlarged. Oh bring me out of my distresses.

Examine me, Yahweh, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.

that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all your wondrous works.

Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.

When you said, "Seek my face," my heart said to you, "I will seek your face, Yahweh."

Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh. By David.

Blessed be Yahweh, because he has heard the voice of my petitions.

Yahweh is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.

To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever! For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

For I have heard the slander of many, terror on every side, while they conspire together against me, they plot to take away my life.

As for me, I said in my haste, "I am cut off from before your eyes." Nevertheless you heard the voice of my petitions when I cried to you.

Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in Yahweh. By David. A contemplative psalm.

Be glad in Yahweh, and rejoice, you righteous! Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart!
