PSALMS
Psalms 1
1 Blessed is the man who doesn't walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the way of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers;
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; On his law he meditates day and night.
3 He shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.
4 The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked shall perish.
Psalms 31
1 In you, LORD, do I take refuge. Let me never be put to shame: Deliver me in your righteousness.
2 Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, A house of defense to save me.
3 For you are my rock and my fortress, Therefore for your name's sake lead me and guide me.
4 Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, For you are my stronghold.
5 Into your hand I commend my spirit. You redeem me, LORD, God of truth.
6 I hate those who regard lying vanities, But I trust in the LORD.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in your lovingkindness, For you have seen my affliction. You have known my soul in adversities.
8 You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy. You have set my feet in a large place.
9 Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am in distress. My eye, my soul, and my body waste away with grief.
10 For my life is spent with sorrow, My years with sighing. My strength fails because of my iniquity. My bones are wasted away.
11 Because of all my adversaries I have become utterly contemptible to my neighbors, A fear to my acquaintances. Those who saw me on the street fled from me.
12 I am forgotten from their hearts like a dead man. I am like broken pottery.
13 For I have heard the slander of many, terror on every side, While they conspire together against me, They plot to take away my life.
14 But I trust in you, LORD. I said, You are my God.
15 My times are in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.
16 Make your face to shine on your servant. Save me in your lovingkindness.
17 Let me not be put to shame, LORD, for I have called on you. Let the wicked be put to shame. Let them be silent in She'ol.
18 Let the lying lips be mute, Which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.
19 Oh how great is your goodness, Which you have laid up for those who fear you, Which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, Before the sons of men!
20 In the covert of your presence will you hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
21 Praise be to the LORD, For he has shown me his marvelous lovingkindness in a strong city.
22 As for me, I said in my haste, "I am cut off from before your eyes." Nevertheless you heard the voice of my petitions when I cried to you.
23 Oh love the LORD, all you his holy ones! The LORD preserves the faithful, And pays back him who deals proudly in full.
24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage, All you who hope in the LORD.
Psalms 61
1 Hear my cry, God. Listen to my prayer.
2 From the end of the eretz, I will call to you, when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For you have been a refuge for me, A strong tower from the enemy.
4 I will dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Selah.
5 For you, God, have heard my vows. You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
6 You will prolong the king's life; His years shall be for generations.
7 He shall be enthroned in God's presence forever. Appoint your lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him.
8 So I will sing praise to your name forever, That I may fulfill my vows daily.
Psalms 91
1 He who dwells in the secret place of Ha`Elyon Will rest in the shadow of Shaddai.
2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust."
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, From the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his pinions. Under his wings you will take refuge. His truth is a shield and a buckler.
5 You will not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day;
6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes, And see the reward of the wicked.
9 For you, LORD, are my refuge! You have made Ha`Elyon your habitation.
10 No evil shall happen to you, Neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.
11 For he will give his angels charge over you, To guard you in all your ways.
12 They will bear you up in their hands, So that you won't dash your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.
14 "Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.
16 I will satisfy him with long life, And show him my yeshu`ah."
Psalms 121
1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and eretz.
3 He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, he who keeps Yisra'el Will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is your keeper. The LORD is your shade on your right hand.
6 The sun will not harm you by day, Nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.
8 The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in, From this time forth, and forevermore.
PROVERBS
Proverbs 31
1 The words of king Lemo'el; the oracle which his mother taught him.
2 "Oh, my son!" Oh, son of my womb! Oh, son of my vows!
3 Don't give your strength to women, Nor your ways to that which destroys kings.
4 It is not for kings, Lemo'el; it is not for kings to drink wine; Nor for princes to say, 'Where is strong drink?'
5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, And pervert the justice due to anyone who is afflicted.
6 Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish; And wine to the bitter in soul:
7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, And remember his misery no more.
8 Open your mouth for the mute, In the cause of all who are left desolate.
9 Open your mouth, judge righteously, And serve justice to the poor and needy."
10 Who can find a worthy woman? For her price is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband trusts in her. He shall have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good, and not harm, All the days of her life.
13 She seeks wool and flax, And works eagerly with her hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships. She brings her bread from afar.
15 She rises also while it is yet night, Gives food to her household, And portions for her servant girls.
16 She considers a field, and buys it. With the fruit of her hands, she plants a vineyard.
17 She girds her loins with strength, And makes her arms strong.
18 She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp doesn't go out by night.
19 She lays her hands to the distaff, And her hands hold the spindle.
20 She opens her arms to the poor; Yes, she extends her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household; For all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22 She makes for herself carpets of tapestry. Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected in the gates, When he sits among the Zakenim of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them, And delivers sashes to the merchant.
25 Strength and dignity are her clothing. She laughs at the time to come.
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom. Faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She looks well to the ways of her household, And doesn't eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children rise up and call her blessed. Her husband also praises her:
29 "Many women do noble things, But you excel them all."
30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain; But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; Let her works praise her in the gates.
