He distributeth also on every side, according as it pleaseth him to deal out his works, that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them through the whole world:

whether it be to punish any land, or to do good unto them, that seek him.

Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?

Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?

Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.

Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.

Out of the north cometh golden splendor: God hath upon him terrible majesty.

Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.

And who has loosed the bonds of the wild donkey [to survive in the wild],

He will laugh at the multitude of the city; he will not hear the noise of him driving.

Canst thou bind the yoke about him in thy furrows, to make him plow after thee in the valleys?

Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?

Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?

When she is shaking her wings on high, she makes sport of the horse and of him who is seated on him.

"Hast thou given the horse his strength? Or learned him to bow down his neck with fear:

Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.

The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.

Is it, by thine understanding, that the Bird of Passage betaketh him to his pinions? spreadeth out his wings to the south?

He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.

Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.

The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.

Shall any take him when he is on the watch, Or pierce through his nose with a snare?

Will you put a cord into his nose, or take him away with a cord round his tongue?

“Will he make many supplications to you [begging to be spared]?
Or will he speak soft words to you [to coax you to treat him kindly]?

Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?

Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?

Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?

Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.

Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?

None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?

Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.

Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?

In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.

Iron is to him as dry grass, and brass as soft wood.

The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.

He counteth the hammer no better than a straw, he laugheth him to scorn that shaketh the spear.

Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.

He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.

Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.

And Jehovah blessed the latter state of Job more than his beginning: and there will be to him fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

The Lord has given ear to my request; the Lord has let my prayer come before him.

O Lord my God, I put my faith in you; take me out of the hands of him who is cruel to me, and make me free;

If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

The evil-doer in his pride is cruel to the poor; let him be taken by the tricks of his invention.

For the evil-doer is lifted up because of the purpose of his heart, and he whose mind is fixed on wealth is turned away from the Lord, saying evil against him.

The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, does not seek Him.
All his thoughts are, “There is no God.”

Pain do his ways at all times, On high are Thy judgments before him, All his adversaries -- he puffeth at them.

He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.

Break the arm of the wicked and evil man! Hold him accountable for his wicked deeds, which he thought you would not discover.

You, O Yahweh, will protect them. You will preserve him from this generation always.

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

Lest mine enemy shall say, I prevailed against him; mine adversaries shall exult when I shall be moved.

The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the children of men
To see if there are any who understand (act wisely),
Who [truly] seek after God, [longing for His wisdom and guidance].

There they tremble with great fear,
For God is with the [consistently] righteous generation.

In his eyes an evil person is despised,
But he honors those who fear the Lord [and obediently worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and submissive wonder].
He keeps his word even to his own disadvantage and does not change it [for his own benefit];

Our steps now have compassed him;' Their eyes they set to turn aside in the land.

Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:

As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form. For the Chief Musician. By David the servant of Yahweh, who spoke to Yahweh the words of this song in the day that Yahweh delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said,

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said,} I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

Jehovah is my rock, and my bulwark, And my deliverer, My God is my rock, I trust in Him: My shield, and a horn of my salvation, My high tower.

In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

And it will be moved and the earth will tremble, and the foundations of the mountains will be moved and they will shake, for it was kindled to him.

Smoke went forth from his nose, and fire from his mouth consumed. Burning coals blazed from him.

He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.

The Lord dealt with me according to my righteousness (moral character, spiritual integrity);
According to the cleanness of my hands He has rewarded me.

I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.

Therefore the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness (moral character, spiritual integrity),
According to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.
