PSALMS
Psalms 30
1 I will extol you, LORD, for you have raised me up, And have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2 LORD my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.
3 LORD, you have brought up my soul from She'ol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4 Sing praise to the LORD, you holy ones of his. Give thanks to his holy name.
5 For his anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, But joy comes in the morning.
6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I shall never be moved."
7 You, LORD, when you favored me, made my mountain to stand strong. But when you hid your face, I was troubled.
8 I cried to you, LORD. To the LORD I made supplication:
9 "What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?
10 Hear, LORD, and have mercy on me. LORD, be my helper."
11 You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
12 To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
Psalms 60
1 God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us to you, again.
2 You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, For it quakes.
3 You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.
4 You have given a banner to those who fear you, That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
5 So that your beloved may be delivered, Save with your right hand, and answer us.
6 God has spoken from his sanctuary: "I will triumph. I will divide Shekhem, And measure out the valley of Sukkot.
7 Gil`ad is mine, and Menashsheh is mine. Efrayim also is the defense of my head. Yehudah is my scepter.
8 Mo'av is my wash basin. I will throw my shoe on Edom. I shout in triumph over Peleshet."
9 Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom?
10 Haven't you, God, rejected us? You don't go out with our armies, God.
11 Give us help against the adversary, For the help of man is vain.
12 Through God we shall do valiantly, For it is he who will tread down our adversaries.
Psalms 90
1 Lord, you have been our dwelling place In all generations.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever you had formed the eretz and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
3 You turn man to destruction, saying, "Return, you children of men."
4 For a thousand years in your sight Are but as yesterday when it is past, As a watch in the night.
5 You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.
6 In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.
7 For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.
8 You have set our iniquities before you, Our secret sins in the light of your presence.
9 For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
10 The days of our years are seventy, Or even by reason of strength eighty years; Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, For it passes quickly, and we fly away.
11 Who knows the power of your anger, Your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?
12 So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.
13 Relent, LORD! How long? Have compassion on your servants.
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your lovingkindness, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, For as many years as we have seen evil.
16 Let your work appear to your servants; Your glory to their children.
17 Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us; Establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands.
Psalms 120
1 In my distress, I cried to the LORD. He answered me.
2 Deliver my soul, LORD, from lying lips, From a deceitful tongue.
3 What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, You deceitful tongue?
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, With coals of juniper.
5 Woe is me, that I live in Meshekh, That I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
6 My soul has had her dwelling too long With him who hates shalom.
7 I am for shalom, But when I speak, they are for war.
Psalms 150
1 Praise the LORD! Praise God in his sanctuary! Praise him in his heavens for his acts of power!
2 Praise him for his mighty acts! Praise him according to his excellent greatness!
3 Praise him with the sounding of the shofar! Praise him with harp and lyre!
4 Praise him with tambourine and dancing! Praise him with stringed instruments and flute!
5 Praise him with loud cymbals! Praise him with resounding cymbals!
6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Praise the LORD!
PROVERBS
Proverbs 30
1 The words of Agur the son of Yakeh, the oracle: The man says to 'Iti'el, To 'Iti'el and Ucal:
2 "Surely I am the most ignorant man, And don't have a man's understanding.
3 I have not learned wisdom, Neither do I have the knowledge of the Holy One.
4 Who has ascended up into heaven, and descended? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has bound the waters in his garment? Who has established all the ends of the eretz? What is his name, and what is his son's name, if you know?
5 "Every word of God is flawless. He is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
6 Don't you add to his words, Lest he reprove you, and you be found a liar.
7 "Two things I have asked of you; Don't deny me before I die:
8 Remove far from me falsehood and lies. Give me neither poverty nor riches. Feed me with the food that is needful for me;
9 Lest I be full, deny you, and say, 'Who is the LORD?' Or lest I be poor, and steal, And so dishonor the name of my God.
10 "Don't slander a servant to his master, Lest he curse you, and you be held guilty.
11 There is a generation that curses their father, And doesn't bless their mother.
12 There is a generation that is pure in their own eyes, Yet are not washed from their filthiness.
13 There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes! Their eyelids are lifted up.
14 There is a generation whose teeth are like swords, And their jaws like knives, To devour the poor from the eretz, and the needy from among men.
15 "The leach has two daughters: 'Give, give.' "There are three things that are never satisfied; Four that don't say, 'Enough:'
16 She'ol, the barren womb; The eretz that is not satisfied with water; The fire that doesn't say, 'Enough;'
17 And the eye that mocks at his father, And scorns obedience to his mother: The ravens of the valley shall pick it out, The young eagles shall eat it.
18 "There are three things which are too amazing for me, Four which I don't understand:
19 The way of an eagle in the air; The way of a serpent on a rock; The way of a ship in the midst of the sea; And the way of a man with a maiden.
20 So is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth, And says, 'I have done nothing wrong.'
21 "For three things the eretz tremble, And under four, it can't bear up:
22 For a servant when he is king; A fool when he is filled with food;
23 For an unloved woman when she is married; And a handmaid who is heir to her mistress.
24 "There are four things which are little on the eretz, But they are exceeding wise:
25 The ants are not a strong people, Yet they provide their food in the summer;
26 The conies are but a feeble folk, Yet make they their houses in the rocks;
27 The locusts have no king, Yet they advance in ranks;
28 You can catch a lizard with your hands, Yet she is in kings' palaces.
29 "There are three things which are stately in their march, Four which are stately in going:
30 The lion, which is mightiest among animals, And doesn't turn away for any;
31 The greyhound, the male goat also; And the king against whom there is no rising up.
32 "If you have done foolishly in lifting up yourself, Or if you have thought evil, Put your hand over your mouth.
33 For as the churning of milk brings forth butter, And the wringing of the nose brings forth blood; So the forcing of wrath brings forth strife."
