Establish my footsteps in your word. Don't let any iniquity have dominion over me.

Let my cry come before you, Yahweh. Give me understanding according to your word.

Let my supplication come before you. Deliver me according to your word.

Let my lips utter praise, for you teach me your statutes.

Let my tongue sing of your word, for all your commandments are righteousness.

Let your hand be ready to help me, for I have chosen your precepts.

Let my soul live, that I may praise you. Let your ordinances help me.

I was glad when they said to me, "Let's go to Yahweh's house!"

If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say,

Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say,

Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.

Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up;

Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.

Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!"

If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill.

Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don't remember you; if I don't prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy.

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

As for the head of those who surround me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

Let burning coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, from where they never rise.

Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.

Don't incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Don't let me eat of their delicacies.

Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don't let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.

Let the wicked fall together into their own nets, while I pass by. A contemplation by David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer.

My mouth will speak the praise of Yahweh. Let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.

Let them praise the name of Yahweh, For he commanded, and they were created.

let them praise the name of Yahweh, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.

Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!

Let the saints rejoice in honor. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

Let everything that has breath praise Yah! Praise Yah!

If they say, "Come with us, Let's lay in wait for blood; let's lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;

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

My son, don't forget my teaching; but let your heart keep my commandments:

Don't let kindness and truth forsake you. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart.

My son, let them not depart from your eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion:

He taught me, and said to me: "Let your heart retain my words. Keep my commandments, and live.

Take firm hold of instruction. Don't let her go. Keep her, for she is your life.

Let them not depart from your eyes. Keep them in the midst of your heart.

Let your eyes look straight ahead. Fix your gaze directly before you.

Make the path of your feet level. Let all of your ways be established.

Let them be for yourself alone, not for strangers with you.

Let your spring be blessed. Rejoice in the wife of your youth.

A loving doe and a graceful deer -- let her breasts satisfy you at all times. Be captivated always with her love.

Don't lust after her beauty in your heart, neither let her captivate you with her eyelids.

Come, let's take our fill of loving until the morning. Let's solace ourselves with loving.

Don't let your heart turn to her ways. Don't go astray in her paths,

"Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!" As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,

"Whoever is simple, let him turn in here." as for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,

Let a bear robbed of her cubs meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.

Don't let your heart envy sinners; but rather fear Yahweh all the day long.

Let your father and your mother be glad! Let her who bore you rejoice!

My son, give me your heart; and let your eyes keep in my ways.

Don't rejoice when your enemy falls. Don't let your heart be glad when he is overthrown;

Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor's house, lest he be weary of you, and hate you.

Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.

Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.

Give her of the fruit of her hands! Let her works praise her in the gates!

Don't be rash with your mouth, and don't let your heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and you on earth. Therefore let your words be few.

Let your garments be always white, and don't let your head lack oil.

Yes, if a man lives many years, let him rejoice in them all; but let him remember the days of darkness, for they shall be many. All that comes is vanity.

Rejoice, young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth, and walk in the ways of your heart, and in the sight of your eyes; but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.

Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; for your love is better than wine.

Take me away with you. Let us hurry. The king has brought me into his rooms. Friends We will be glad and rejoice in you. We will praise your love more than wine! Beloved They are right to love you.

My dove in the clefts of the rock, In the hiding places of the mountainside, Let me see your face. Let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely.

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.

Awake, north wind; and come, you south! Blow on my garden, that its spices may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and taste his precious fruits. Lover

I said, "I will climb up into the palm tree. I will take hold of its fruit." Let your breasts be like clusters of the vine, the smell of your breath like apples, Beloved

Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field. Let us lodge in the villages.

Let's go early up to the vineyards. Let's see whether the vine has budded, its blossom is open, and the pomegranates are in flower. There I will give you my love.

You who dwell in the gardens, with friends in attendance, let me hear your voice! Beloved

"Come now, and let us reason together," says Yahweh: "Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Many peoples shall go and say, "Come, let's go up to the mountain of Yahweh, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths." For out of Zion the law shall go forth, and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.

House of Jacob, come, and let us walk in the light of Yahweh.

Indeed a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying, "You have clothing, you be our ruler, and let this ruin be under your hand."

Seven women shall take hold of one man in that day, saying, "We will eat our own bread, and wear our own clothing: only let us be called by your name. Take away our reproach."

Let me sing for my well beloved a song of my beloved about his vineyard. My beloved had a vineyard on a very fruitful hill.

Who say, "Let him make speed, let him hasten his work, that we may see it; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, that we may know it!"

"Let's go up against Judah, and tear it apart, and let's divide it among ourselves, and set up a king in its midst, even the son of Tabeel."

Sing to Yahweh, for he has done excellent things! Let this be known in all the earth!

Let my outcasts dwell with you! As for Moab, be a hiding place for him from the face of the destroyer. For the extortioner is brought to nothing. Destruction ceases. The oppressors are consumed out of the land.

Where then are your wise men? Let them tell you now; and let them know what Yahweh of Armies has purposed concerning Egypt.

For the Lord said to me, "Go, set a watchman. Let him declare what he sees.

and behold, joy and gladness, killing cattle and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine: "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die."

Let favor be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness. In the land of uprightness he will deal wrongfully, and will not see Yahweh's majesty.

Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me. Let him make peace with me."

Woe to Ariel! Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to year; let the feasts come around;

Come near, you nations, to hear! Listen, you peoples. Let the earth and all it contains hear; the world, and everything that comes from it.

Thus says the king, 'Don't let Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you.

Don't let Hezekiah make you trust in Yahweh, saying, "Yahweh will surely deliver us. This city won't be given into the hand of the king of Assyria."'

"Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, 'Don't let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, "Jerusalem won't be given into the hand of the king of Assyria."

Now Isaiah had said, "Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a poultice on the boil, and he shall recover."

"Keep silent before me, islands, and let the peoples renew their strength. Let them come near, then let them speak. Let's meet together for judgment.

"Let them announce, and declare to us what shall happen. Declare the former things, what they are, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or show us things to come.

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!

Let them give glory to Yahweh, and declare his praise in the islands.

Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled. Who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified; or let them hear, and say, "That is true."

Put me in remembrance. Let us plead together. Set forth your case, that you may be justified.

Who is like me? Who will call, and will declare it, and set it in order for me, since I established the ancient people? Let them declare the things that are coming, and that will happen.

Behold, all his fellows will be disappointed; and the workmen are mere men. Let them all be gathered together. Let them stand up. They will fear. They will be put to shame together.
