His name endures forever. His name continues as long as the sun. Men shall be blessed by him. All nations will call him blessed.

But as for me, my feet were almost gone. My steps had nearly slipped.

As a dream when one wakes up, so, Lord, when you awake, you will despise their fantasies.

Your adversaries have roared in the midst of your assembly. They have set up their standards as signs.

You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces. You gave him as food to people and desert creatures.

and might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that did not make their hearts loyal, whose spirit was not steadfast with God.

He split the sea, and caused them to pass through. He made the waters stand as a heap.

He split rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.

He rained also flesh on them as the dust; winged birds as the sand of the seas.

Then the Lord awakened as one out of sleep, like a mighty man who shouts by reason of wine.

"Come," they say, "and let's destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more."

Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;

who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth.

As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,

Those who sing as well as those who dance say, "All my springs are in you."

I will also make his seed endure forever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.

For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.

Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.

though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.

Do not harden your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness,

For my days consume away like smoke. My bones are burned as a firebrand.

I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the waste places.

My enemies reproach me all day. Those who are mad at me use my name as a curse.

For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.

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

As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.

You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains.

I will sing to the LORD as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.

He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry places.

He rebuked the Sea of Suf also, and it was dried up; so he led them through the depths, as through a desert.

They did not destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them,

He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment. It came into his inward parts like water, like oil into his bones.

Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself, for the belt that is always around him.

Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor. Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.

He raises up the poor out of the dust. Lifts up the needy from the ash heap;

He settles the barren woman in her home, as a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD.

Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

I have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies, as much as in all riches.

Their heart is as callous as the fat, but I delight in your Law.

I have taken your testimonies as a heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart.

Turn to me, and have mercy on me, as you always do to those who love your name.

I rejoice at your word, as one who finds great spoil.

Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is compact together;

Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress; so our eyes look to the LORD, our God, until he has mercy on us.

Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

Those who trust in the LORD are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but remains forever.

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people from this time forth and forevermore.

But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, The LORD will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.

As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of youth.

Your wife will be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of your house; your children like olive plants, around your table.

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

And gave their land as an inheritance; for his loving kindness endures forever;

Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, he will be blessed who rewards you, as you have served us.

even the darkness doesn't hide from you, but the night shines as the day. The darkness is like light to you.

Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of them.

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

"As when one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol."

I cry with my voice to the LORD. With my voice, I ask the LORD for mercy.

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.

While I live, I will praise the LORD. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

So as to turn your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding;

If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures:

for whom the LORD loves, he reproves; even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.

But in the end she is as bitter as wormwood, and as sharp as a two-edged sword.

so your poverty will come as a robber, and your scarcity as an armed man.

Keep my commandments and live. Guard my teaching as the apple of your eye.

He followed her immediately, as an ox goes to the slaughter, as a fool to the correction of the stocks.

Until an arrow strikes through his liver, as a bird hurries to the snare, and doesn't know that it will cost his life.

while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the beginning of the dust of the world.

"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,

As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to those who send him.

He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.

A worthy woman is the crown of her husband, but a disgraceful wife is as rottenness in his bones.

The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

He who goes about as a tale-bearer reveals secrets; therefore do not keep company with him who opens wide his lips.

A wicked man hardens his face; but as for the upright, he establishes his ways.

for as he thinks about the cost, so he is. "Eat and drink." he says to you, but his heart is not with you.

Yes, you will be as he who lies down in the midst of the sea, or as he who lies on top of the rigging:

Do not say, "I will do to him as he has done to me; I will render to the man according to his work."

so your poverty will come as a robber, and your want as an armed man.

As the heavens for height, and the earth for depth, so the hearts of kings are unsearchable.

As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover to an obedient ear.

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.

As clouds and wind without rain, so is he who boasts of gifts deceptively.

Have you found honey? Eat as much as is sufficient for you, lest you eat too much, and vomit it.

As one who takes away a garment in cold weather, or vinegar on soda, so is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.

Like snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.

As one who binds a stone in a sling, so is he who gives honor to a fool.

As an archer who wounds all, so is he who hires a fool or he who hires those who pass by.

As a dog that returns to his vomit, so is a fool who repeats his folly.

As the door turns on its hinges, so does the sluggard on his bed.

As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to kindling strife.

The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, they go down into the innermost parts.

As a bird that wanders from her nest, so is a man who wanders from his home.

He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse by him.

As water reflects a face, so a man's heart reflects the man.

The wicked flee when no one pursues; but the righteous are as bold as a lion.
