PSALMS
Psalms 26
1 Judge me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in LORD without wavering.
2 Examine me, LORD, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.
3 For your lovingkindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.
4 I have not sat with deceitful men, Neither will I go in with hypocrites.
5 I hate the assembly of evil-doers, And will not sit with the wicked.
6 I will wash my hands in innocence, So I will go about your altar, LORD;
7 That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, And tell of all your wondrous works.
8 LORD, I love the habitation of your house, The place where your glory dwells.
9 Don't gather my soul with sinners, Nor my life with bloodthirsty men;
10 In whose hands is wickedness, Their right hand is full of bribes.
11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.
12 My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations will I bless the LORD.
Psalms 56
1 Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.
2 My enemies want to swallow me up all day long, For they are many who fight proudly against me.
3 When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.
4 In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
5 All day long they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They conspire and lurk, Watching my steps, they are eager to take my life.
7 Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, God.
8 You number my wanderings. You put my tears into your bottle. Aren't they in your book?
9 Then shall my enemies turn back in the day that I call. I know this, that God is for me.
10 In God, I will praise his word. In the LORD, I will praise his word.
11 I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
12 Your vows are on me, God. I will give thank offerings to you.
13 For you have delivered my soul from death, And prevented my feet from falling, That I may walk before God in the light of the living.
Psalms 86
1 Hear, LORD, and answer me, For I am poor and needy.
2 Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You, my God, save your servant who trusts in you.
3 Be merciful to me, Lord, For I call to you all day long.
4 Bring joy to the soul of your servant, For to you, Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; Abundant in lovingkindness to all those who call on you.
6 Hear, LORD, my prayer. Listen to the voice of my petitions.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call on you, For you will answer me.
8 There is no one like you among the gods, Lord, Nor any deeds like your deeds.
9 All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord. They shall glorify your name.
10 For you are great, and do wondrous things. You are God alone.
11 Teach me your way, LORD. I will walk in your truth. Make my heart undivided to fear your name.
12 I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole heart. I will glorify your name forevermore.
13 For your lovingkindness is great toward me. You have delivered my soul from the lowest She'ol.
14 God, the proud have risen up against me. A company of violent men have sought after my soul, And they don't hold regard for you before them.
15 But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.
16 Turn to me, and have mercy on me! Give your strength to your servant. Save the son of your handmaid.
17 Show me a sign of your goodness, That those who hate me may see it, and be put to shame, Because you, LORD, have helped me, and comforted me.
Psalms 116
1 I love the LORD, because he listens to my voice, And my cries for mercy.
2 Because he has turned his ear to me, Therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
3 The cords of death surrounded me, The pains of She'ol got a hold on me. I found trouble and sorrow.
4 Then called I on the name of the LORD: "The LORD, I beg you, deliver my soul."
5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; Yes, our God is merciful.
6 The LORD preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.
7 Return to your rest, my soul, For the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
8 For you have delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, And my feet from falling.
9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10 I believed, therefore I said, "I was greatly afflicted."
11 I said in my haste, "All men are liars."
12 What will I give to the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the LORD.
14 I will pay my vows to the LORD, Yes, in the presence of all his people.
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his holy ones.
16 LORD, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your handmaid. You have freed me from my chains.
17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call on the name of the LORD.
18 I will pay my vows to the LORD, Yes, in the presence of all his people,
19 In the courts of the LORD's house, In the midst of you, Yerushalayim. Praise the LORD!
Psalms 146
1 Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, my soul.
2 While I live, I will praise the LORD. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
3 Don't put your trust in princes, Each a son of man in whom there is no help.
4 His spirit departs, and he returns to the eretz. In that very day, his thoughts perish.
5 Happy is he who has the God of Ya`akov for his help, Whose hope is in the LORD, his God:
6 Who made heaven and eretz, The sea, and all that is in them; Who keeps truth forever;
7 Who executes justice for the oppressed; Who gives food to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners.
8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD raises up those who are bowed down. The LORD loves the righteous.
9 The LORD preserves the sojourners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, But the way of the wicked he turns upside down.
10 The LORD will reign forever; Your God, O Tziyon, to all generations. Praise the LORD!
PROVERBS
Proverbs 26
1 Like snow in summer or rain in harvest, honor is not fitting for a fool.
2 Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse does not come to rest.
3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the backs of fools!
4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be just like him.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes.
6 Sending a message by the hands of a fool is like cutting off one’s feet or drinking poison.
7 Like the useless legs of one who is lame is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
8 Like tying a stone in a sling is the giving of honor to a fool.
9 Like a thornbush in a drunkard’s hand is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
10 Like an archer who wounds at random is one who hires a fool or any passer-by.
11 As a dog returns to its vomit, so fools repeat their folly.
12 Do you see a person wise in their own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for them.
13 A sluggard says, “There’s a lion in the road, a fierce lion roaming the streets!”
14 As a door turns on its hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed.
15 A sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.
16 A sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven people who answer discreetly.
17 Like one who grabs a stray dog by the ears is someone who rushes into a quarrel not their own.
18 Like a maniac shooting flaming arrows of death
19 is one who deceives their neighbor and says, “I was only joking!”
20 Without wood a fire goes out; without a gossip a quarrel dies down.
21 As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife.
22 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to the inmost parts.
23 Like a coating of silver dross on earthenware are fervent lips with an evil heart.
24 Enemies disguise themselves with their lips, but in their hearts they harbor deceit.
25 Though their speech is charming, do not believe them, for seven abominations fill their hearts.
26 Their malice may be concealed by deception, but their wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
27 Whoever digs a pit will fall into it; if someone rolls a stone, it will roll back on them.
28 A lying tongue hates those it hurts, and a flattering mouth works ruin.
