The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

For no faith may be put in their words; their inner part is nothing but evil; their throat is like an open place for the dead; smooth are the words of their tongues.

For you bless [the] righteous. O Yahweh, like a shield you surround him [with] good favor.

Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

He lieth in wait secretly, like a lion in his thicket; he lieth in wait to catch the afflicted: he doth catch the afflicted, drawing him into his net.

In the Lord I take refuge [and put my trust];
How can you say to me, “Flee like a bird to your mountain;

The words and promises of the Lord are pure words,
Like silver refined in an earthen furnace, purified seven times.

Will those who do evil ever learn? They devour my people like they devour bread, and never call on the LORD.

He does not charge interest when he lends his money. He does not take bribes to testify against the innocent. The one who lives like this will never be upended.

O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, "Thou art my God, my goods are nothing like unto thee."

Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.

And I ground them like dust {in the wind}, I emptied them out like mud of [the] streets.

and it [is] like a bridegroom who comes out of his bridal chamber. It is glad like a strong man to run [its] course.

You will make them like your fiery furnace at the time of your appearance. Yahweh will swallow them in his wrath and fire will consume them.

Many [enemies like] bulls have surrounded me;
Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.

They open wide their mouths against me,
Like a ravening and a roaring lion.

I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

For [a pack of] dogs have surrounded me;
A gang of evildoers has encircled me,
They pierced my hands and my feet.

{A Psalm of David.} Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.

Lord, when You showed Your favor,
You made me stand like a strong mountain;
when You hid Your face, I was terrified.

I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.

I have heard the slander of many; it is like terror all around me, as they conspire together and plot to take my life.

For the weight of your hand was on me day and night; my body became dry like the earth in summer. (Selah.)

Do not be like the horse or like the mule which have no understanding,
Whose trappings include bridle and rein to hold them in check,
Otherwise they will not come near to you.

[He] gathered the waters of the sea like a heap. [He] put [the] deeps in storehouses.

Let thy merciful kindness, O LORD, be upon us, like as we do put our trust in thee.

Let them be like chaff before [the] wind, with the angel of Yahweh {driving them}.

All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?

I went about grieving as if for my friend or brother;
I was bowed down with grief,
like one mourning a mother.

Like the profane mockers in feasts, They gnashed upon me with their teeth.

Transgression speaks [like an oracle] to the wicked (godless) [deep] within his heart;
There is no fear (dread) of God before his eyes.

Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.

For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

Then he will bring forth your righteousness like the light, and your justice like the noonday.

For the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume, like smoke shall they consume away.

I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

For my iniquities have gone over my head [like the waves of a flood];
As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me.

But I, like a deaf man, do not hear;
I am like a mute man who does not open his mouth.

Yes, I am like a man who does not hear,
In whose mouth are no arguments.

“Surely every man walks around like a shadow [in a charade];
Surely they make an uproar for nothing;
Each one builds up riches, not knowing who will receive them.

Hear my prayer, Jehovah, and give ear unto my cry; be not silent at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, a sojourner, like all my fathers.

O LORD my God, great are the wondrous works which thou hast done, like as be also thy thoughts, which are to us-ward; and yet there is no man that ordereth them unto thee. If I should declare them, and speak of them, they should be more than I am able to express.

Like the desire of the roe for the water-streams, so is my soul's desire for you, O God.

These things I [vividly] remember as I pour out my soul;
How I used to go along before the great crowd of people and lead them in procession to the house of God [like a choirmaster before his singers, timing the steps to the music and the chant of the song],
With the voice of joy and thanksgiving, a great crowd keeping a festival.

The cruel words of my haters are like a crushing of my bones; when they say to me every day, Where is your God?

Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen.

Truly, because of you we are put to death every day; we are numbered like sheep for destruction.

My heart overflows with a good theme;
I address my psalm to the King.
My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.

All your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia. Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad.

The nations were angry, the kingdoms were moved; at the sound of his voice the earth became like wax.

The hill of Zion is like a fair plant, whereof all the land rejoiceth: upon the north side lieth the city of the great King.

Trembling seized them there,
agony like that of a woman in labor,

Like as we have heard, so see we in the city of the LORD of Hosts, in the city of our God. God upholdeth the same forever. Selah.

Your name, God, like Your praise,
reaches to the ends of the earth;
Your right hand is filled with justice.

For he sees wise men die; likewise the fool and the animal-like ones perish, and leave their wealth to others.

Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.

Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.

you will end up like your ancestors' generation, never again to see the light of day!

Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.

These thou didst, and I kept silent, Thou hast thought that I am like thee, I reprove thee, and set in array before thine eyes.

Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp rasor, working deceitfully.

But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

I will always give thanks unto thee, for that thou hast done: and I will hope in thy name, for thy saints like it well.

Will those who do evil ever learn? They devour my people like they devour bread, and never call on God.

Then they will be filled with terror—
terror like no other—
because God will scatter
the bones of those who besiege you.
You will put them to shame,
for God has rejected them.

And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.

But it was you, a man like me, my companion, and my familiar friend.

His words are as smooth as butter, but he harbors animosity in his heart. His words seem softer than oil, but they are really like sharp swords.

I am surrounded by lions. I lie down with those who burn with fire that is, with people whose teeth are like spears and arrows whose tongues are like sharp swords.

Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;

Let them run [away] like water [that] runs off. [When] he bends [the bow], let his arrows [be] as though they were cut off.

As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.

Before they are conscious of it, let them be cut down like thorns; let a strong wind take them away like waste growth.

They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

Look what pours out of their mouths! They use their lips like swords, saying "Who will hear us?"

And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

You will add days to the days of the king, his years like [those of] {many generations}.

How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay him , all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

For you, O God, have put us to the test: testing us by fire like silver.

Then those living on earth will know what you are like; all nations will know how you deliver your people.

Let them be like smoke before the driving wind; as wax turning soft before the fire, so let them come to an end before the power of God.

Though you [men] lie down between the sheepfolds, [you will be like the] wings of a dove covered in silver and its pinions in yellow gold."

When the Almighty scattereth kings therein, It will gleam like snow in the gloom:

Rebuke the wildlife that lives among the reeds, the nations that congregate like bulls and cows, humbling themselves with pieces of silver, for God scatters the nations that delight in battle.

I have become strange to my brothers, and like a man from a far country to my mother's children.

I am like a wonder to many, but You are my strong tower.

Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!

He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.

There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.

For they are in no peril of death, but stand fast like a palace.

They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.

Therefore pride is their necklace;
Violence covers them like a garment [like a long, luxurious robe].
