If any such complain, no man giveth answer; and that because of the wickedness of proud tyrants.

He turneth not his eyes away from the righteous; he setteth up kings in their throne, and confirmeth them, so that they alway sit therein.

Even so shall he keep thee - if thou wilt be content - from the bottomless pit that is beneath: and if thou wilt hold the quiet, he shall fill thy table with plenteousness.

Hear then the sound of his voice, and the noise that goeth out of his mouth.

A roaring voice followeth him: for his glorious majesty giveth such a thunder clap, that, though a man hear it, yet may he not perceive it afterward. It giveth a horrible sound,

He sendeth fear upon every man, that they might know their own works.

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

"For every man seeth not the light, that he keepeth clear in the clouds, which he cleanseth when he maketh the wind to blow.

It is not we that can find out the Almighty: for in power, equity, and righteousness, he is higher than can be expressed.

Seeing then that everybody feareth him, why should not all wise men also stand in fear of him?"

"What is he that hideth his mind with foolish words?

that it might take hold of the corners of the earth, and that the ungodly might be shaken out?

that thou mayest bring us unto their quarters, if thou canst tell the way to their houses.

that it watereth and moistureth the dry and barren ground:

That the waters are as hard as stones, and lie congealed above the deep.

Knewest thou the course of heaven, that thou mayest set up the ordinance thereof upon the earth?

Moreover, canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that they may pour down a great rain upon thee?

Canst thou thunder also that they may go their way, and be obedient unto thee, saying, 'Lo here are we'?

Reckonest thou the months after they engender, that thou knowest the time of their bearing?

That they may give no force for the multitude of people in the cities, neither regard the crying of the driver,

Mayest thou believe him, that he will bring home thy corn, or to carry anything unto thy barn?

She remembereth not that they might be trodden with feet or broken with some wild beast.

And that because God hath taken wisdom from her, and hath not given her understanding.

that he letteth himself be driven forth like a grasshopper, whereas the stout neighing that he maketh, is fearful?

"Cometh it through thy wisdom, that the Goshawk flyeth toward the South?

"Can he that striveth with the Almighty be at rest? Should not he which disputeth with God, give him an answer?"

Gird up thy loins like a man, and tell me the things that I will ask thee.

Wilt thou disannul my judgment? Or wilt thou condemn me, that thou thyself mayest be made righteous?

pour out thy indignation of thy wrath; see that thou cast down all the proud,

look well, that thou makest all such as be stubburn, to obey; tread all the ungodly under thy feet,

Behold, he drinketh up whole rivers and feareth not: he thinketh that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.

that thy companions may hew him in pieces, to be parted among the merchant men?

For when thou thinkest to have hold upon him, he shall beguile thee: Every man also that seeth him, shall go back.

"Or, who hath given me anything afore hand, that I am bound to reward him again? All things under heaven are mine.

One is so joined to another, that no air can come in:

Yea, one hangeth so upon another, and sticketh so together, that they cannot be sundered.

The members of his body are joined so strait one to another, and cleave so fast together, that he cannot be moved.

His heart is as hard as stone, and as fast as the stythie that the hammer man smiteth upon.

He starteth not away for him that bendeth the bow: and as for sling stones, he careth as much for stubble as for them.

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

Upon earth is there no power like unto his, for he is so made that he feareth not.

"I know that thou hast power over all things, and that there is no thought hid unto thee.

O hearken thou unto me also, and let me speak: answer me unto the thing that I will ask thee.

Now when the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, he said unto Eliphaz the Temanite, "I am displeased with thee and thy two friends, for ye have not spoken the thing that is right before me, like as my servant Job hath done.

Therefore take seven oxen and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, offer up also for yourselves a burnt offering: and let my servant Job pray for you. Him will I accept, and not deal with you after your foolishness: in that ye have not spoken the thing which is right, like as my servant Job hath done."

And then came there unto him all his brethren, all his sisters, with all them that had been of his acquaintance afore, and ate bread with him in his house: wondering at him, and comforting him over all the trouble that the LORD had brought upon him. Every man gave him a sheep and a Jewel of gold.

After this lived Job forty years, so that he saw his children, and his children's children to the fourth generation.

O Blessed is the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, and hath not sat in the seat of the scornful.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the waterside, that will bring forth his fruit in due season. His leaf, also, shall not wither; and, look, whatsoever he doeth, it shall prosper.

He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh them to scorn: the Lord shall have them in derision.

Be wise now therefore, O ye kings; be warned, ye that are judges of the earth.

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and so ye perish from the right way. For his wrath shall be kindled shortly: blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

{A Psalm of David when he fled from the face of Absalom} LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! Many are they that rise against me.

Many ones there be that say of my soul, "There is no help for him in his God." Selah.

I will not be afraid for ten thousands of the people that have set themselves against me.

Know this also, that the LORD hath chosen to himself the man that is godly; when I call upon the LORD, he will hear me.

There be many that say, "Who will show us any good? LORD lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us."

Thou hast put gladness in my heart since the time that their corn and wine and oil increased.

I will lay me down in peace, and take my rest; for it is thou, LORD, only that makest me dwell in safety.

For thou art the God that hast no pleasure in wickedness; neither shall any evil dwell with thee.

Such as be foolish shall not stand in thy sight, for thou hatest all them that work vanity.

And let all them that put their trust in thee rejoice. They shall ever be giving of thanks, because thou defendest them. They that love thy name shall be joyful in thee;

Away from me, all ye that work vanity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.

{Shiggaion of David, which he sang for the words of Cush the son of Benjamin} O LORD my God, in thee have I put my trust; save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me,

if I have rewarded evil unto him that dealt friendly with me, or hurt them that without any cause are mine enemies;

Stand up, O LORD, in thy wrath, lift up thyself, because of the indignation of mine enemies; arise up for me in the judgment that thou hast commanded.

The LORD shall judge the people; give sentence with me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to the innocence that is in me.

My help cometh of God, who preserveth them that are true of heart.

He hath graven and dug up a pit, and is fallen himself into the destruction that he made for others.

Out of the mouth of the very babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength, because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

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

For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou art set in the throne that judgest right.

And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; for thou, LORD, hast never failed them that seek thee.

Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider the trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death.

That I may show all thy praises within the ports of the daughter of Zion, I will rejoice in thy salvation.

The Heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made; in the same net which they hid privily, is their own foot taken.

O LORD, put a schoolmaster over them, that the Heathen may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

While the ungodly hath the overhand, the poor must suffer persecution; let them be taken in the crafty wiliness that they have imagined!

The ungodly is so proud and full of indignation, that he careth not for God: neither is God in all his thoughts.

For he lieth waiting secretly; even as a lion lurketh he in his den, that he may ravish the poor. He doth ravish the poor when he getteth him into his net.

He falleth down, and humbleth himself, that the congregation of the poor may fall into the hands of his captains.

He hath said in his heart, "Tush, God hath forgotten, he hath turned away his face, so that he will never see it."

Surely thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest ungodliness and wrong, that thou mayest take the matter into thy hand. The poor committeth himself unto thee, for thou art the helper of the friendless.

Break thou the power of the ungodly and malicious; search out the wickedness which he hath done, that he may perish.

{To the Chanter, a Psalm of David} In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye then to my soul, that she should flee as a bird unto the hill?

For lo, the ungodly bend their bow, and make ready their arrows within the quiver, that they may privily shoot at them which are true of heart.

The LORD alloweth the righteous; but the ungodly, and him that delighteth in wickedness, doth his soul abhor.

For the LORD is righteous, and he loveth righteousness: his countenance will behold the thing that is just.

The LORD shall root out all deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things,

Which have said, "With our tongue will we prevail; we are they that ought to speak; Who is lord over us?"
