Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

I wait for Yahweh. My soul waits. I hope in his word.

My soul longs for the Lord more than watchmen long for the morning; more than watchmen for the morning.

Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.

In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well.

They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper's poison is under their lips. Selah.

The proud have hidden a snare for me, they have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps for me. Selah.

Yahweh, don't grant the desires of the wicked. Don't let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud. Selah.

For my eyes are on you, Yahweh, the Lord. In you, I take refuge. Don't leave my soul destitute.

Look on my right, and see; for there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one cares for my soul.

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, for you will be good to me. A Psalm by David.

For the enemy pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead.

I spread forth my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. Selah.

Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning, for I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you.

Revive me, Yahweh, for your name's sake. In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.

In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, For I am your servant. By David.

Yahweh is gracious, merciful, slow to anger, and of great loving kindness.

Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh, my soul.

let's swallow them up alive like Sheol, and whole, like those who go down into the pit.

For wisdom will enter into your heart. Knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.

so they will be life to your soul, and grace for your neck.

He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding. He who does it destroys his own soul.

But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me love death."

Yahweh will not allow the soul of the righteous to go hungry, but he thrusts away the desire of the wicked.

The merciful man does good to his own soul, but he who is cruel troubles his own flesh.

The liberal soul shall be made fat. He who waters shall be watered also himself.

He who guards his mouth guards his soul. One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing, but the desire of the diligent shall be fully satisfied.

Longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but fools detest turning from evil.

The righteous one eats to the satisfying of his soul, but the belly of the wicked goes hungry.

He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a quick temper displays folly.

A wrathful man stirs up contention, but one who is slow to anger appeases strife.

He who refuses correction despises his own soul, but he who listens to reproof gets understanding.

The highway of the upright is to depart from evil. He who keeps his way preserves his soul.

Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; one who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city.

A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are a snare to his soul.

It isn't good to have zeal without knowledge; nor being hasty with one's feet and missing the way.

He who gets wisdom loves his own soul. He who keeps understanding shall find good.

The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense.

Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep. The idle soul shall suffer hunger.

He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, but he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die.

The soul of the wicked desires evil; his neighbor finds no mercy in his eyes.

Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.

Thorns and snares are in the path of the wicked: whoever guards his soul stays from them.

lest you learn his ways, and ensnare your soul.

Punish him with the rod, and save his soul from Sheol.

Buy the truth, and don't sell it. Get wisdom, discipline, and understanding.

If you say, "Behold, we didn't know this;" doesn't he who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, doesn't he know it? Shall he not render to every man according to his work?

so you shall know wisdom to be to your soul; if you have found it, then there will be a reward, your hope will not be cut off.

As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to those who send him; for he refreshes the soul of his masters.

Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.

Like a fluttering sparrow, like a darting swallow, so the undeserved curse doesn't come to rest.

A full soul loathes a honeycomb; but to a hungry soul, every bitter thing is sweet.

Correct your son, and he will give you peace; yes, he will bring delight to your soul.

Whoever is an accomplice of a thief is an enemy of his own soul. He takes an oath, but dares not testify.

Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish; and wine to the bitter in soul:

There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God.

There is one who is alone, and he has neither son nor brother. There is no end to all of his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with wealth. "For whom then, do I labor, and deprive my soul of enjoyment?" This also is vanity. Yes, it is a miserable business.

a man to whom God gives riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacks nothing for his soul of all that he desires, yet God gives him no power to eat of it, but an alien eats it. This is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

If a man fathers a hundred children, and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is not filled with good, and moreover he has no burial; I say, that a stillborn child is better than he:

which my soul still seeks; but I have not found. One man among a thousand have I found; but I have not found a woman among all those.

Tell me, you whom my soul loves, where you graze your flock, where you rest them at noon; For why should I be as one who is veiled beside the flocks of your companions? Lover

By night on my bed, I sought him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I didn't find him.

I will get up now, and go about the city; in the streets and in the squares I will seek him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I didn't find him.

The watchmen who go about the city found me; "Have you seen him whom my soul loves?"

I had scarcely passed from them, when I found him whom my soul loves. I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, into the room of her who conceived me.

I have taken off my robe. Indeed, must I put it on? I have washed my feet. Indeed, must I soil them?

Set me as a seal on your heart, as a seal on your arm; for love is strong as death. Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol. Its flashes are flashes of fire, a very flame of Yahweh.

From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it: wounds, welts, and open sores. They haven't been closed, neither bandaged, neither soothed with oil.

My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts. They are a burden to me. I am weary of bearing them.

The look of their faces testify against them. They parade their sin like Sodom. They don't hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have brought disaster upon themselves.

Wrap up the testimony. Seal the law among my disciples.

Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on the throne of David, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from that time on, even forever. The zeal of Yahweh of Armies will perform this.

He will consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body. It will be as when a standard bearer faints.

They have gone over the pass. They have taken up their lodging at Geba. Ramah trembles. Gibeah of Saul has fled.

Send the lambs for the ruler of the land from Selah to the wilderness, to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.

The pillars will be broken in pieces. All those who work for hire will be grieved in soul.

Yes, in the way of your judgments, Yahweh, have we waited for you. Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul.

With my soul have I desired you in the night. Yes, with my spirit within me will I seek you earnestly; for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

Yahweh, your hand is lifted up, yet they don't see; but they will see your zeal for the people, and be disappointed. Yes, fire will consume your adversaries.

Does he who plows to sow plow continually? Does he keep turning the soil and breaking the clods?

For the fool will speak folly, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice profanity, and to utter error against Yahweh, To make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

Your rigging is untied. They couldn't strengthen the foot of their mast. They couldn't spread the sail. Then the prey of a great spoil was divided. The lame took the prey.

I have dug and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet I will dry up all the rivers of Egypt."

For out of Jerusalem a remnant will go forth, and survivors will escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of Yahweh of Armies will perform this.'

I chattered like a swallow or a crane. I moaned like a dove. My eyes weaken looking upward. Lord, I am oppressed. Be my security."

What will I say? He has both spoken to me, and himself has done it. I will walk carefully all my years because of the anguish of my soul.

Behold, for peace I had great anguish, but you have in love for my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; for you have cast all my sins behind your back.

"Behold, my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen, in whom my soul delights -- I have put my Spirit on him. He will bring justice to the nations.

Let the wilderness and its cities raise their voices, with the villages that Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing. Let them shout from the top of the mountains!

Yahweh will go out like a mighty man. He will stir up zeal like a man of war. He will raise a war cry. Yes, he will shout aloud. He will triumph over his enemies.

He feeds on ashes. A deceived heart has turned him aside; and he can't deliver his soul, nor say, "Isn't there a lie in my right hand?"

and I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you, who have said to your soul, 'Bow down, that we may walk over you;' and you have laid your back as the ground, and as the street, to those who walk over."

Yet it pleased Yahweh to bruise him. He has caused him to suffer. When you make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed. He shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Yahweh shall prosper in his hand.

After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light and be satisfied. My righteous servant will justify many by the knowledge of himself; and he will bear their iniquities.

Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul to death, and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Why do you spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which doesn't satisfy? listen diligently to me, and eat you that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

Turn your ear, and come to me; hear, and your soul shall live: and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
