If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I will prepare for them, and I will do tomorrow as the king has said."

Haman also said, "Yes, Esther the queen let no man come in with the king to the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and tomorrow I am also invited by her together with the king.

Then Zeresh his wife and all his friends said to him, "Let a gallows be made fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on it. Then go in merrily with the king to the banquet." This pleased Haman, so he had the gallows made.

The king's servants said to him, "Behold, Haman stands in the court." The king said, "Let him come in."

let royal clothing be brought which the king uses to wear, and the horse that the king rides on, and on the head of which a crown royal is set.

And let the clothing and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble officials, and let him clothe the man whom the king delights to honor with them, and have him ride on horseback through the city square, and proclaim before him, 'Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.'"

Then the king said to Haman, "Hurry and take the clothing and the horse, as you have said, and do this for Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king's gate. Let nothing fail of all that you have spoken."

Then Esther the queen answered, "If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request.

She said, "If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and the thing seem right to the king, and I am pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the king's provinces.

Then Esther said, "If it pleases the king, let it be granted to the Jews who are in Shushan to do tomorrow also according to this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged on the gallows."

"Let the day perish in which I was born, the night which said, 'There is a boy conceived.'

Let that day be darkness. Do not let God from above seek for it, neither let the light shine on it.

Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own. Let a cloud dwell on it. Let all that makes black the day terrify it.

As for that night, let thick darkness seize on it. Let it not rejoice among the days of the year. Let it not come into the number of the months.

Behold, let that night be barren. Let no joyful voice come therein.

Let them curse it who curse the day, who are ready to rouse up leviathan.

Let the stars of its twilight be dark. Let it look for light, but have none, neither let it see the eyelids of the morning,

even that it would please God to crush me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off.

Be it still my consolation, yes, let me exult in pain that doesn't spare, that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.

Please return. Let there be no injustice. Yes, return again. My cause is righteous.

Let him take his rod away from me. Let his terror not make me afraid;

If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away. Do not let unrighteousness dwell in your tents.

"Be silent, leave me alone, that I may speak. Let come on me what will.

Hear diligently my speech. Let my declaration be in your ears.

withdraw your hand far from me; and do not let your terror make me afraid.

Then call, and I will answer; or let me speak, and you answer me.

That you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of your mouth?

Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself; for emptiness shall be his reward.

"Earth, do not cover my blood. Let my cry have no place to rest.

though he spare it, and will not let it go, but keep it still within his mouth;

"Listen diligently to my speech. Let this be your consolation.

You say, 'God lays up his iniquity for his children.' Let him recompense it to himself, that he may know it.

Let his own eyes see his destruction. Let him drink of the wrath of Shaddai.

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

"Let my enemy be as the wicked. Let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.

(let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know my integrity);

then let me sow, and let another eat. Yes, let the produce of my field be rooted out.

then let my wife grind for another, and let others sleep with her.

then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder blade, and my arm be broken from the bone.

oh that I had one to hear me. (behold, here is my signature, let Shaddai answer me); let the accuser write my indictment.

let briars grow instead of wheat, and stinkweed instead of barley." The words of Job are ended.

Please do not let me respect any man's person, neither will I give flattering titles to any man.

Let us choose for us that which is right. Let us know among ourselves what is good.

Do not let riches entice you to wrath, neither let the great size of a bribe turn you aside.

"Shall he who argues contend with Shaddai? He who argues with God, let him answer it."

"Let's break their bonds apart, and cast their cords from us."

Many say, "Who will show us any good?" LORD, let the light of your face shine on us.

Hold them guilty, God. Let them fall by their own counsels; Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against you.

But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice, Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. Let them also who love your name be joyful in you.

let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; yes, let him tread my life down to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. Selah.

Let the congregation of the peoples surround you. Rule over them on high.

Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God.

Arise, LORD. Do not let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.

Put them in fear, LORD. Let the nations know that they are only men. Selah.

Let my sentence come forth from your presence. Let your eyes look on equity.

Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright. I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, LORD, my Rock, and my redeemer.

Save, LORD. Let the King answer us when we call.

"He trusts in the LORD; let him deliver him. Let him rescue him, since he delights in him."

The humble shall eat and be satisfied. They shall praise the LORD who seek after him. Let your hearts live forever.

My God, I have trusted in you. Do not let me be shamed. Do not let my enemies triumph over me.

Oh keep my soul, and deliver me. Let me not be disappointed, for I take refuge in you.

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you.

Wait for the LORD. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the LORD.

In you, LORD, I take refuge. Let me never be disappointed. Deliver me in your righteousness.

Let me not be disappointed, LORD, for I have called on you. Let the wicked be disappointed. Let them be silent in Sheol.

Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.

Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in the LORD.

For this, let everyone who is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.

Let all the earth fear the LORD. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

Let your loving kindness be on us, LORD, since we have hoped in you.

Oh magnify the LORD with me. Let us exalt his name together.

Let those who seek after my soul be disappointed and brought to dishonor. Let those who plot my ruin be turned back and confounded.

Let them be as chaff before the wind, The LORD's angel driving them on.

Let their way be dark and slippery, The LORD's angel pursuing them.

Let destruction come on him unawares. Let his net that he has hidden catch himself. Let him fall into that destruction.

Do not let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those who hate me without a cause and wink their eyes.

Vindicate me, LORD my God, according to your righteousness. Do not let them gloat over me.

Do not let them say in their heart, "Aha. That's the way we want it." Do not let them say, "We have swallowed him up."

Let them be disappointed and confounded together who rejoice at my calamity. Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me.

Let them shout for joy and be glad, who favor my righteous cause. And let them say continually, "The LORD be magnified, who delights in the peace of his servant."

Do not let the foot of pride come against me. Do not let the hand of the wicked drive me away.

For I said, "Do not let them gloat over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips."

"LORD, show me my end, what is the measure of my days. Let me know how frail I am.

Do not withhold your tender mercies from me, LORD. Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.

Let them be disappointed and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.

Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, "Aha. Aha."

Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let such as love your salvation say continually, "Let the LORD be exalted."

Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill, To your tents.

In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness. Let your right hand display awesome deeds.

Let Mount Zion be glad. Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of your judgments.

Let me hear joy and gladness, That the bones which you have broken may rejoice.

Let death come suddenly on them. Let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them.

Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be above all the earth.

Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.

Let them vanish as water that flows away. When they draw the bow, let their arrows be made blunt.

Let them be like a snail which melts and passes away, like the stillborn child, who has not seen the sun.

My God will go before me with his loving kindness. God will let me look at my enemies in triumph.

For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, for the curses and lies which they utter.

Consume them in wrath. Consume them, and they will be no more. Let them know that God rules in Jacob, to the ends of the earth. Selah.
