Psalms 22
1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?
2 My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don't answer; In the night season, and am not silent.
3 But you are holy, You who inhabit the praises of Yisra'el.
4 Our fathers trusted in you. They trusted, and you delivered them.
5 They cried to you, and were delivered. They trusted in you, and were not put to shame.
6 But I am a worm, and no man; A reproach of men, and despised by the people.
7 All those who see me mock me. They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying,
8 "He trusts in the LORD; Let him deliver him; Let him rescue him, since he delights in him."
9 But you brought me out of the womb. You made me trust at my mother's breasts.
10 I was thrown on you from my mother's womb. You are my God since my mother bore me.
11 Don't be far from me, for trouble is near. For there is none to help.
12 Many bulls have surrounded me. Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.
13 They open their mouths wide against me, Lions tearing prey and roaring.
14 I am poured out like water. All my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax; It is melted within me.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have brought me into the dust of death.
16 For dogs have surrounded me. A company of evil-doers have enclosed me. They pierced my hands and my feet.
17 I can count all of my bones. They look and stare at me.
18 They divide my garments among them. They cast lots for my clothing.
19 But don't be far off, LORD. You are my help: hurry to help me.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword, My precious life from the power of the dog.
21 Save me from the lion's mouth; Yes, from the horns of the wild oxen you have answered me.
22 I will declare your name to my brothers. In the midst of the assembly, will I praise you.
23 You who fear the LORD, praise him! All you descendants of Ya`akov, glorify him! Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Yisra'el!
24 For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, Neither has he hid his face from him; But when he cried to him, he heard.
25 Of you comes my praise in the great assembly. I will pay my vows before those who fear him.
26 The humble shall eat and be satisfied. They shall praise the LORD who seek after him. Let your hearts live forever.
27 All the ends of the eretz shall remember and turn to the LORD. All the relatives of the nations shall worship before you.
28 For the kingdom is the LORD's. He is the ruler over the nations.
29 All the rich ones of the eretz shall eat and worship. All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him, Even he who can't keep his soul alive.
30 Posterity shall serve him. Future generations shall be told about the Lord.
31 They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, For he has done it.
Psalms 52
1 Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God's lovingkindness endures continually.
2 Your tongue plots destruction, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3 You love evil more than good, Lying rather than speaking the truth. Selah.
4 You love all devouring words, You deceitful tongue.
5 God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, And root you out of the land of the living. Selah.
6 The righteous also will see it, and fear, And laugh at him, saying,
7 "Behold, this is the man who didn't make God his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And strengthened himself in his wickedness."
8 But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God's house. I trust in God's lovingkindness forever and ever.
9 I will give you thanks forever, because you have done it. I will hope in your name, for it is good, In the presence of your holy ones.
Psalms 82
1 God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the gods.
2 "How long will you judge unjustly, And show partiality to the wicked?" Selah.
3 "Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
4 Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked."
5 They don't know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the eretz are shaken.
6 I said, "You are gods, All of you are sons of Ha`Elyon.
7 Nevertheless you shall die like men, And fall like one of the rulers."
8 Arise, God, judge the eretz, For you inherit all of the nations.
Psalms 112
1 Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, Who delights greatly in his mitzvot.
2 His seed will be mighty on eretz. The generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in his house. His righteousness endures forever.
4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, Gracious, merciful, and righteous.
5 It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment.
6 For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.
7 He will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is established. He will not be afraid in the end when he sees his adversaries.
9 He has dispersed, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honor.
10 The wicked will see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of the wicked will perish.
Psalms 142
1 I cry with my voice to the LORD. With my voice, I ask the LORD for mercy.
2 I pour out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles.
3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, You knew my path. In the way in which I walk, They have hidden a snare for me.
4 Look on my right, and see; For there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one cares for my soul.
5 I cried to you, the LORD. I said, "You are my refuge, My portion in the land of the living."
6 Listen to my cry, For I am in desperate need. Deliver me from my persecutors, For they are stronger than me.
7 Bring my soul out of prison, That I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, For you will be good to me.
PROVERBS
Proverbs 22
1 A good name is more desirable than great riches; Loving favor rather than silver and gold.
2 The rich and the poor have this in common: The LORD is the maker of them all.
3 A prudent man sees danger, and hides himself; But the simple pass on, and suffer for it.
4 The result of humility and the fear of the LORD Is wealth, honor, and life.
5 Thorns and snares are in the path of the wicked: Whoever guards his soul stays from them.
6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.
7 The rich rules over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender.
8 He who sows wickedness reaps trouble, And the rod of his fury will be destroyed.
9 He who has a generous eye will be blessed; For he shares his food with the poor.
10 Drive out the mocker, and strife will go out; Yes, quarrels and insults will stop.
11 He who loves purity of heart and speaks gracefully Is the king's friend.
12 The eyes of the LORD watch over knowledge; But he frustrates the words of the unfaithful.
13 The sluggard says, "There is a lion outside! I will be killed in the streets!"
14 The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit: He who is under the LORD's wrath will fall into it.
15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child: The rod of discipline drives it far from him.
16 Whoever oppresses the poor for his own increase and whoever gives to the rich, Both come to poverty.
17 Turn your ear, and listen to the words of the wise. Apply your heart to my teaching.
18 For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you, If all of them are ready on your lips.
19 That your trust may be in the LORD, I teach you today, even you.
20 Haven't I written to you thirty excellent things Of counsel and knowledge,
21 To teach you truth, reliable words, To give sound answers to the ones who sent you?
22 Don't exploit the poor, because he is poor; And don't crush the needy in court;
23 For the LORD will plead their case, And plunder the life of those who plunder them.
24 Don't befriend a hot-tempered man, And don't associate with one who harbors anger:
25 Lest you learn his ways, And ensnare your soul.
26 Don't you be one of those who strike hands, Of those who are collateral for debts.
27 If you don't have means to pay, Why should he take away your bed from under you?
28 Don't move the ancient boundary stone, Which your fathers have set up.
29 Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve kings; He won't serve obscure men.
