PSALMS
Psalms 24
1 The eretz is the LORD's, with its fullness; The world, and those who dwell therein.
2 For he has founded it on the seas, And established it on the floods.
3 Who may ascend to the LORD's hill? Who may stand in his holy place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart; Who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, And has not sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, Righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is the generation of those who seek Him, Who seek your face -- even Ya`akov. Selah.
7 Lift up your heads, you gates; Be lifted up, you everlasting doors: The King of glory will come in.
8 Who is the King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, The LORD mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, you gates; Yes, lift them up, you everlasting doors: The King of glory will come in.
10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of Hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah.
Psalms 54
1 Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.
2 Hear my prayer, God. Listen to the words of my mouth.
3 For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven't set God before them. Selah.
4 Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.
5 He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.
6 With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, LORD, for it is good.
7 For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.
Psalms 84
1 How lovely are your dwellings, LORD of Hosts!
2 My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of the LORD. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3 Yes, the sparrow has found a home, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, Near your altars, LORD of Hosts, My King, and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always praising you. Selah.
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in you; Who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.
6 Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs. Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.
7 They go from strength to strength. Everyone of them appears before God in Tziyon.
8 LORD, God Tzva'ot, hear my prayer. Listen, God of Ya`akov. Selah.
9 Behold, God our shield, Look at the face of your anointed.
10 For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and a shield. The LORD will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
12 LORD of Hosts, Blessed is the man who trusts in you.
Psalms 114
1 When Yisra'el went forth out of Mitzrayim, The house of Ya`akov from a people of foreign language;
2 Yehudah became his sanctuary, Yisra'el his dominion.
3 The sea saw it, and fled. The Yarden was driven back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs.
5 What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Yarden, that you turned back?
6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams; You little hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, you eretz, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Ya`akov,
8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a spring of waters.
Psalms 144
1 Blessed be the LORD, my rock, Who teaches my hands to war, And my fingers to battle:
2 My lovingkindness, my fortress, My high tower, my deliverer, My shield, and he in whom I take refuge; Who subdues my people under me.
3 LORD, what is man, that you care for him? Or the son of man, that you think of him?
4 Man is like a breath. His days are like a shadow that passes away.
5 Part your heavens, LORD, and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.
6 Throw out lightning, and scatter them. Send out your arrows, and rout them.
7 Stretch out your hand from above, Rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, Out of the hands of foreigners;
8 Whose mouths speak deceit, Whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9 I will sing a new song to you, God. On a ten-stringed lyre, I will sing praises to you.
10 You are he who gives salvation to kings, Who rescues David, his servant, from the deadly sword.
11 Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hands of foreigners, Whose mouths speak deceit, Whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
12 Then our sons will be like well-nurtured plants, Our daughters like pillars carved to adorn a palace.
13 Our barns are full, filled with all kinds of provision. Our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields.
14 Our oxen will pull heavy loads. There is no breaking in, and no going away, And no outcry in our streets.
15 Happy are the people who are in such a situation. Happy are the people whose God is the LORD.
PROVERBS
Proverbs 24
Saying 20
1 Do not envy the wicked, do not desire their company;
2 for their hearts plot violence, and their lips talk about making trouble.
Saying 21
3 By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established;
4 through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.
Saying 22
5 The wise prevail through great power, and those who have knowledge muster their strength.
6 Surely you need guidance to wage war, and victory is won through many advisers.
Saying 23
7 Wisdom is too high for fools; in the assembly at the gate they must not open their mouths.
Saying 24
8 Whoever plots evil will be known as a schemer.
9 The schemes of folly are sin, and people detest a mocker.
Saying 25
10 If you falter in a time of trouble, how small is your strength!
11 Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter.
12 If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done?
Saying 26
13 Eat honey, my son, for it is good; honey from the comb is sweet to your taste.
14 Know also that wisdom is like honey for you: If you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.
Saying 27
15 Do not lurk like a thief near the house of the righteous, do not plunder their dwelling place;
16 for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.
Saying 28
17 Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice,
18 or the LORD will see and disapprove and turn his wrath away from them.
Saying 29
19 Do not fret because of evildoers or be envious of the wicked,
20 for the evildoer has no future hope, and the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.
Saying 30
21 Fear the LORD and the king, my son, and do not join with rebellious officials,
22 for those two will send sudden destruction on them, and who knows what calamities they can bring?
Further Sayings of the Wise
23 These also are sayings of the wise: To show partiality in judging is not good:
24 Whoever says to the guilty, “You are innocent,” will be cursed by peoples and denounced by nations.
25 But it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and rich blessing will come on them.
26 An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.
27 Put your outdoor work in order and get your fields ready; after that, build your house.
28 Do not testify against your neighbor without cause— would you use your lips to mislead?
29 Do not say, “I’ll do to them as they have done to me; I’ll pay them back for what they did.”
30 I went past the field of a sluggard, past the vineyard of someone who has no sense;
31 thorns had come up everywhere, the ground was covered with weeds, and the stone wall was in ruins.
32 I applied my heart to what I observed and learned a lesson from what I saw:
33 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—
34 and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man.
