To him that rideth upon the heaven of heavens, which are of old; Lo, he uttereth his voice, a mighty voice.

{A Psalm of Asaph.} Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.

{Maschil of Asaph.} Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

{To the chief Musician upon ShoshannimEduth, A Psalm of Asaph.} Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.

like a servant girl’s eyes on her mistress’s hand,

On a seat by the high and conspicuous places of the city,

Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

The tongue of the righteous is like precious silver (greatly valued);
The heart of the wicked is worth little.

They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.

The words of the wicked are of lying in wait for blood; But the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.

The purposes of the heart are of man, but the answer of the tongue is from Jehovah.

A divine decision [given by God] is on the lips of the king [as His representative];
His mouth should not be unfaithful or unjust in judgment.

[Skillful and godly] wisdom is in the presence of a person of understanding [and he recognizes it],
But the eyes of a [thickheaded] fool are on the ends of the earth.

A ring of gold and an ornament of fine gold [is] a rebuke of the wise to the ear of a listener.

The words of a whisperer (gossip) are like dainty morsels [to be greedily eaten];

Give strong drink to him that is ready to perish, and wine to those that are of heavy hearts.

All things are full of weariness; man may not give their story: the eye has never enough of its seeing, or the ear of its hearing.

All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.

Do not be hasty with your mouth [speaking careless words or vows] or impulsive in thought to bring up a matter before God. For God is in heaven and you are on earth; therefore let your words be few.

As you have no knowledge of the way of the wind, or of the growth of the bones in the body of her who is with child, even so you have no knowledge of the works of God who has made all.

Into the area of the princes of my people [the king’s retinue].”

Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

On the throne of David and over his kingdom,
To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness
From then on and forevermore.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this.

And it will be like a man desiring food, and dreaming that he is feasting; but when he is awake there is nothing in his mouth: or like a man in need of water, dreaming that he is drinking; but when he is awake he is feeble and his soul is full of desire: so will all the nations be which make war on Mount Zion.

And they that are of erring spirit shall know understanding, and the disobedient shall learn doctrine.

For thus said Jehovah unto me: 'As growl doth the lion and the young lion over his prey, Called against whom is a multitude of shepherds, From their voice he is not affrighted, And from their noise he is not humbled; So come down doth Jehovah of Hosts To war on mount Zion, and on her height.
