He restores my soul; He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake.

One thing I have desired from Jehovah, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Jehovah, and to pray in His temple.

And those who seek my life lay snares for me; and those who seek my hurt speak sly things, and utter deceits all the day long.

Let them be ashamed and humbled together, those who seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame, those who wish me evil.

Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You, and the ones loving your salvation always say, Let Jehovah be magnified.

But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the depths of the earth.

Do not let those who wait on You, O Jehovah, the God of Hosts, be ashamed for my sake; let not the ones who seek You be ashamed for my sake, O God of Israel,

because I have borne reproach for Your sake, shame has covered my face.

The humble shall see and be glad; and your heart shall live, you who seek God.

Let them be ashamed and turned pale, those who seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and blush, those who desire my hurt.

Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; and let those who love Your salvation say without ending, Let God be magnified.

I set my heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness;

Then I looked at all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun; because though a man labors to seek it out, yet he shall not find it. Yea, further, though a wise one speaks of knowing, yet he shall not be able to find it.

Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and lean on horses and trust in chariots, because it is great; and in horsemen, because they are so very strong, but they do not look to the Holy One of Israel, nor do they seek Jehovah!

For Jacob My servant's sake, and Israel My elect, I have even entitled you. I have named you, though you have not known me.

I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth. I did not say to the seed of Jacob, Seek me in vain. I Jehovah speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.

For My name's sake I will put off My anger, and for My praise I will hold back for you, that I do not cut you off.

For my sake, for My sake I will do it; for why should My name be defiled? And I will not give My glory to another.

Seek Jehovah while He may be found; call on Him while He is near.
