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].

Therefore God's people return there and drink it all in like water until they're satiated.

Take a good look! This is what the wicked are like, those who always have it so easy and get richer and richer.

If I would make clear what it is like, I would say, You are false to the generation of your children.

Like a dream upon awakening, when [you] wake up, O Lord, you will despise their fleeting form.

Then I was senseless and ignorant;
I was like a beast before You.

For behold, those who are far from You will perish;
You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful and have abandoned You.

Sending out their voices like lions among your worshippers; they have put up their signs to be seen.

It seems as if one had lifted up
An axe in a forest of trees [to set a record of destruction].

Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: Who is a great god like unto God?

Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

And they are not like their fathers, A generation apostate and rebellious, A generation! it hath not prepared its heart, Nor stedfast with God is its spirit.

Like as the children of Ephraim, which being harnessed and carrying bows, turned themselves back in the time of battle:

He divided the [Red] Sea and allowed them to pass through it,
And He made the waters stand up like [water behind] a dam.

He split the rocks in the wilderness
And gave them abundant drink like the ocean depths.

He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

And he sent down manna like rain for their food, and gave them the grain of heaven.

He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:

Therefore He consumed their days like a breath [in emptiness and futility]
And their years in sudden terror.

He remembered that they were made of flesh, and were like a wind that blows past and does not return.

But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.

And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever.

Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.

How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

{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.

The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.

A testimony in Joseph, he appointed it, When he went forth over the land of Egypt: A language I liked not, used I to hear;

But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

Make them like Midian, like Sisera, like Jabin, by the torrent of Kishon;

Who were destroyed at En-dor,
Who became like dung for the earth.

Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:

O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.

Like a fire burning a forest, and a flame setting mountains ablaze.

Faith comes up from the earth like a plant; righteousness is looking down from heaven.

Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.

I am counted among those who go down to the pit (grave);
I am like a man who has no strength [a mere shadow],

Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.

I am in misery, and like unto him that is at the point to die; even from my youth up, thy terrors have I suffered with a troubled mind.

They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.

For who in the skies can be compared unto Jehovah? Who among the sons of the mighty is like unto Jehovah,

O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?

{You yourself crushed} Rahab like one [who is] slain; you scattered your enemies with your strong arm.

His seed will keep their place for ever; his kingdom will be eternal, like the heavens.

His offspring will continue forever,
his throne like the sun before Me,

Like [the] moon it will be steadfast forever, and [like] an enduring witness in the sky.'" Selah

How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?

For a thousand years in your eyes [are] like yesterday when it passes, or [like] a watch in the night.

Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

You have placed our wickedness before you,
Our secret sins [which we tried to conceal, You have placed] in the [revealing] light of Your presence.

For all of our days dwindle away in your rage; we complete our years like a sigh.

He will shelter you with his wings; you will find safety under his wings. His faithfulness is like a shield or a protective wall.

That though the wicked sprout up like grass
And all evildoers flourish,
They will be destroyed forever.

But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

do not be stubborn like your ancestors were at Meribah, as on that day at Massah, in the wilderness,

The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

Light is sown like seed for the righteous
And gladness for the upright in heart.
