'Man' in the Bible

Thou destroyest those speaking lies, A man of blood and deceit Jehovah doth abominate.

What is man that Thou rememberest him? The son of man that Thou inspectest him?

Rise, O Jehovah, let not man be strong, Let nations be judged before Thy face.

To judge the fatherless and bruised: He addeth no more to oppress -- man of the earth!

As to doings of man, Through a word of Thy lips I have observed The paths of a destroyer;

Thou hast wrought for those trusting in Thee, Before sons of men. Thou hidest them in the secret place of Thy presence, From artifices of man, Thou concealest them in a tabernacle, From the strife of tongues.

O the happiness of a man, To whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.

The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.

Taste ye and see that Jehovah is good, O the happiness of the man who trusteth in Him.

Who is the man that is desiring life? Loving days to see good?

Thy righteousness is as mountains of God, Thy judgments are a great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O Jehovah.

Be silent for Jehovah, and stay thyself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making prosperous his way, Because of a man doing wicked devices.

From Jehovah are the steps of a man, They have been prepared, And his way he desireth.

Yea, I am as a man who heareth not, And in his mouth are no reproofs.

Lo, handbreadths Thou hast made my days, And mine age is as nothing before Thee, Only, all vanity is every man set up. Selah.

With reproofs against iniquity, Thou hast corrected man, And dost waste as a moth his desirableness, Only, vanity is every man. Selah.

O the happiness of the man Who hath made Jehovah his trust, And hath not turned unto the proud, And those turning aside to lies.

Judge me, O God, And plead my cause against a nation not pious, From a man of deceit and perverseness Thou dost deliver me,

And man in honour doth not remain, He hath been like the beasts, they have been cut off.

Man in honour, who understandest not, Hath been like the beasts, they have been cut off!

He who is instructing nations, Doth He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge is Jehovah.

He knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

O the happiness of the man Whom Thou instructest, O Jah, And out of Thy law teachest him,

Mortal man! as grass are his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;

Causing grass to spring up for cattle, And herb for the service of man, To bring forth bread from the earth,

And wine -- it rejoiceth the heart of man, To cause the face to shine from oil, And bread -- the heart of man it supporteth.

Man goeth forth to his work, And to his service -- till evening.

He hath sent before them a man, For a servant hath Joseph been sold.

Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.

Because that he hath not remembered to do kindness, And pursueth the poor man and needy, And the smitten of heart -- to slay,

Good is the man -- gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.

Jehovah, what is man that Thou knowest him? Son of man, that Thou esteemest him?

Man to vanity hath been like, His days are as a shadow passing by.

Trust not in princes -- in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance.

Not in the might of the horse doth He delight, Not in the legs of a man is He pleased.
