Behold, my belly is as wine which has no vent; it is ready to burst like new wineskins.

Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue has spoken in my mouth.

The spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty has given me life.

For Job has said, I am righteous: and God has taken away my justice.

For he has said, It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.

Who has given him charge over the earth? or who has laid on him the whole world?

Job has spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.

But now, because it is not so, he has visited in his anger; yet he knows it not in a great extreme:

Who has prescribed him his way? or who can say, You have worked iniquity?

Who has determined the measures thereof, if you know? or who has stretched the line upon it?

Who has divided a channel for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;

Has the rain a father? or who has begotten the drops of dew?

Out of whose womb came the ice? and the frost from heaven, who has given it birth?

Who has put wisdom in the inward parts? or who has given understanding to the heart?

Who has let the wild donkey go free? or who has loosed the bonds of the wild donkey?

Because God has deprived her of wisdom, neither has he imparted to her understanding.

Who has given to me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.

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.

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

But know that the LORD has set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

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

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

The LORD has heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.

If he turns not, he will whet his sword; he has bent his bow, and made it ready.

He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death; he makes ready his arrows against the persecutors.

Behold, he brought forth iniquity, and has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

He made a pit, and dug it, and has fallen into the ditch which he made.

But the LORD shall endure forever: he has prepared his throne for judgment.

He has said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.

He has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he hides his face; he will never see it.

Why does the wicked renounce God? he has said in his heart, You will not require it.

I will sing unto the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me.

[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.

I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel: my heart also instructs me in the night seasons.

The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.

Therefore has the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your right hand has held me up, and your gentleness has made me great.

Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them has he set a tabernacle for the sun,

For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither has he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.

They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he has done this.

For he has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

He that has clean hands, and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

Blessed be the LORD, because he has heard the voice of my supplications.

Blessed be the LORD: for he has showed me his marvelous kindness in a strong city.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.

Let destruction come upon him unawares; and let his net that he has hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.

Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye has seen it.

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he has ceased to be wise, and to do good.

A little that a righteous man has is better than the riches of many wicked.

And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

Yea, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who did eat of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face has covered me,

You are fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into your lips: therefore God has blessed you forever.

You love righteousness, and hate wickedness: therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.

Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he has made in the earth.

God has gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.

[A Psalm of Asaph.] The mighty God, even the LORD, has spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shined.

[To the Chief Musician upon mahalath. A maschil. A Song of David.] The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that does good.

There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God has scattered the bones of him that encamps against you: you have put them to shame, because God has despised them.

For he has delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye has seen his desire upon my enemies.

Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror has overwhelmed me.

He has delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many against me.

He has put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him: he has broken his covenant.

God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.

God has spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongs unto God.

Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth has spoken, when I was in trouble.

Come and hear, all you that fear God, and I will declare what he has done for my soul.

But verily God has heard me; he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

Your congregation has dwelt therein: you, O God, have provided of your goodness for the poor.

Your God has commanded your strength: strengthen, O God, that which you have done for us.

Because for your sake I have borne reproach; shame has covered my face.

For the zeal of your house has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached you are fallen upon me.

Reproach has broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that has horns and hoofs.

Saying, God has forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.

Your righteousness also, O God, is very high, who has done great things: O God, who is like unto you!

For he shall deliver the needy when he cries; the poor also, and him that has no helper.

Lift up your feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy has done wickedly in the sanctuary.

Remember this, that the enemy has reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed your name.

Has God forgotten to be gracious? has he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.

We will not hide them from their children, showing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he has done.

And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he has established forever.

And the vineyard which your right hand has planted, and the branch that you made strong for yourself.

Yea, the sparrow has found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even your altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.

I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that has no strength:

Because he has set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he has known my name.

The LORD reigns, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, with which he has girded himself: the world also is established, that it cannot be moved.

[A Psalm.] O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he has done marvelous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, has gotten him the victory.

The LORD has made known his salvation: his righteousness has he openly showed in the sight of the nations.

He has remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

Know you that the LORD he is God: it is he that has made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him will I cut off: he that has a haughty look and a proud heart will I not endure.

For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;

He has not dealt with us according to our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

The LORD has prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom rules over all.

The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;
