'Work' in the Bible

When I see and consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,The moon and the stars, which You have established,

The Lord has made Himself known;He executes judgment;The wicked are trapped by the work of their own hands. Higgaion (meditation) Selah.

Repay them according to their work and according to the evil of their practices;Repay them according to the deeds of their hands;Repay them what they deserve.

For the word of the Lord is right;And all His work is done in faithfulness.

Do not worry because of evildoers,Nor be envious toward wrongdoers;

We have heard with our ears, O God,Our fathers have told usThe work You did in their days,In the days of old.

Have workers of wickedness no knowledge or no understanding?They eat up My people as though they ate breadAnd have not called upon God.

Deliver me from those who practice wrongdoing,And save me from bloodthirsty men.

Also to You, O Lord, belong lovingkindness and compassion,For You compensate every man according to [the value of] his work.

Then all men will fear [God’s judgment];They will declare the work of God,And they will consider and wisely acknowledge what He has done.

For You are great and do wondrous works!You alone are God.

Let Your work [the signs of Your power] be revealed to Your servantsAnd Your [glorious] majesty to their children.

And let the [gracious] favor of the Lord our God be on us;Confirm for us the work of our hands—Yes, confirm the work of our hands.

“When your fathers tested Me,They tried Me, even though they had seen My work [of miracles].

I will set no worthless or wicked thing before my eyes.I hate the practice of those who fall away [from the right path];It will not grasp hold of me.

“At the beginning You founded the earth;The heavens are the work of Your hands.

Man goes out to his workAnd remains at his labor until evening.

Splendid and majestic is His work,And His righteousness endures forever.

The idols [of the nations] are silver and gold,The work of man’s hands.

The idols of the nations are silver and gold,The work of men’s hands.

Do not incline my heart to [consent to or tolerate] any evil thing,Or to practice deeds of wickednessWith men who plan and do evil;And let me not eat of their delicacies (be tempted by their gain).

I remember the days of old;I meditate on all that You have done;I ponder the work of Your hands.
