PSALMS
Psalms 15
1 LORD, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy hill?
2 He who walks blamelessly, does what is right, And speaks truth in his heart;
3 He who doesn't slander with his tongue, Nor does evil to his friend, Nor casts slurs against his fellow man;
4 In whose eyes a vile man is despised, But who honors those who fear the LORD; He who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn't change;
5 He who doesn't lend out his money for usury, Nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken.
Psalms 45
1 My heart overflows with a noble theme. I recite my verses for the king. My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.
2 You are the most excellent of the sons of men. Grace has anointed your lips, Therefore God has blessed you forever.
3 Gird your sword on your thigh, mighty one, Your splendor and your majesty.
4 In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness. Let your right hand display awesome deeds.
5 Your arrows are sharp. The nations fall under you, with arrows in the heart of the king's enemies.
6 Your throne, God, is forever and ever. A scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom.
7 You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
8 All your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia. Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad.
9 Kings' daughters are among your honorable women. At your right hand the queen stands in gold of Ofir.
10 Listen, daughter, consider, and turn your ear. Forget your own people, and also your father's house.
11 So will the king desire your beauty, Honor him, for he is your lord.
12 The daughter of Tzor comes with a gift. The rich among the people entreat your favor.
13 The princess inside is all glorious. Her clothing is interwoven with gold.
14 She shall be led to the king in embroidered work. The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to you.
15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be led. They shall enter into the king's palace.
16 Your sons will take the place of your fathers. You shall make them princes in all the eretz.
17 I will make your name to be remembered in all generations. Therefore the peoples shall give you thanks forever and ever.
Psalms 75
1 We give thanks to you, God, We give thanks, for your Name is near. Men tell about your wondrous works.
2 When I choose the appointed time, I will judge blamelessly.
3 The eretz and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. Selah.
4 I said to the arrogant, "Don't boast;" To the wicked, "Don't lift up the horn.
5 Don't lift up your horn on high. Don't speak with a stiff neck."
6 For neither from the east, nor from the west, Nor yet from the south, comes exaltation.
7 But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts up another.
8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, Full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours it out. Indeed the wicked of the eretz drink and drink it to its very dregs.
9 But I will declare this forever: I will sing praises to the God of Ya`akov.
10 I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, But the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
Psalms 105
1 Give thanks to the LORD! Call on his name! Make his doings known among the peoples.
2 Sing to him, sing praises to him! Tell of all his marvelous works.
3 Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of them rejoice who seek the LORD.
4 Seek the LORD and his strength. Seek his face forever more.
5 Remember his marvelous works that he has done; His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
6 You seed of Avraham, his servant, You children of Ya`akov, his chosen ones.
7 He is the LORD, our God. His judgments are in all the eretz.
8 He has remembered his covenant forever, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
9 The covenant which he made with Avraham, His oath to Yitzchak,
10 And confirmed the same to Ya`akov for a statute; To Yisra'el for an everlasting covenant,
11 Saying, "To you I will give the land of Kana`an, The lot of your inheritance;"
12 When they were but a few men in number, Yes, very few, and sojourners in it.
13 They went about from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people.
14 He allowed no one to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
15 "Don't touch my anointed ones. Do my prophets no harm."
16 He called for a famine on the land. He destroyed the food supplies.
17 He sent a man before them. Yosef was sold for a slave.
18 They bruised his feet with shackles. His neck was locked in irons,
19 Until the time that his word happened, And the LORD's word proved him true.
20 The king sent and freed him; Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
21 He made him lord of his house, And ruler of all of his possessions;
22 To discipline his princes at his pleasure, And to teach his Zakenim wisdom.
23 Yisra'el also came into Mitzrayim. Ya`akov sojourned in the land of Ham.
24 He increased his people greatly, And made them stronger than their adversaries.
25 He turned their heart to hate his people, To conspire against his servants.
26 He sent Moshe, his servant, And Aharon, whom he had chosen.
27 They performed miracles among them, And wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark. They didn't rebel against his words.
29 He turned their waters into blood, And killed their fish.
30 Their land swarmed with frogs, Even in the chambers of their kings.
31 He spoke, and swarms of flies came, And lice in all their borders.
32 He gave them hail for rain, With lightning in their land.
33 He struck their vines and also their fig trees, And shattered the trees of their country.
34 He spoke, and the locusts came, And the grasshoppers, without number,
35 Ate up every plant in their land; Ate up the fruit of their ground.
36 He struck also all the firstborn in their land, The chief of all their strength.
37 He brought them forth with silver and gold. There was not one feeble person among his tribes.
38 Mitzrayim was glad when they departed, For the fear of them had fallen on them.
39 He spread a cloud for a covering, Fire to give light in the night.
40 They asked, and he brought quails, And satisfied them with the bread of the sky.
41 He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry places.
42 For he remembered his holy word, And Avraham, his servant.
43 He brought forth his people with joy, His chosen with singing.
44 He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of the peoples in possession,
45 That they might keep his statutes, And observe his laws. Praise the LORD!
Psalms 125
1 Those who trust in the LORD are as Mount Tziyon, Which can't be moved, but remains forever.
2 As the mountains surround Yerushalayim, So the LORD surrounds his people from this time forth and forevermore.
3 For the scepter of wickedness won't remain over the allotment of the righteous; So that the righteous won't put forth their hands to iniquity.
4 Do good, LORD, to those who are good, To those who are upright in their hearts.
5 But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, The LORD will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Shalom be on Yisra'el.
PROVERBS
Proverbs 15
1 A gentle answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, But the mouth of fools gush out folly.
3 The LORD's eyes are everywhere, Keeping watch on the evil and the good.
4 A gentle tongue is a tree of life, But deceit in it crushes the spirit.
5 A fool despises his father's correction, But he who heeds reproof shows prudence.
6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure, But the income of the wicked brings trouble.
7 The lips of the wise spread knowledge; Not so with the heart of fools.
8 The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, But the prayer of the upright is his delight.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, But he loves him who follows after righteousness.
10 There is stern discipline for one who forsakes the way: Whoever hates reproof shall die.
11 She'ol and Avaddon are before the LORD -- How much more then the hearts of the children of men!
12 A scoffer doesn't love to be reproved; He will not go to the wise.
13 A glad heart makes a cheerful face; But an aching heart breaks the spirit.
14 The heart of one who has understanding seeks knowledge, But the mouths of fools feed on folly.
15 All the days of the afflicted are wretched, But one who has a cheerful heart enjoys a continual feast.
16 Better is little, with the fear of the LORD, Than great treasure with trouble.
17 Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is, Than a fattened calf with hatred.
18 A wrathful man stirs up contention, But one who is slow to anger appeases strife.
19 The way of the sluggard is like a thorn patch, But the path of the upright is a highway.
20 A wise son makes a father glad, But a foolish man despises his mother.
21 Folly is joy to one who is void of wisdom, But a man of understanding keeps his way straight.
22 Where there is no counsel, plans fail; But in a multitude of counselors they are established.
23 Joy comes to a man with the reply of his mouth. How good is a word at the right time!
24 The path of life leads upward for the wise, To keep him from going downward to She'ol.
25 The LORD will uproot the house of the proud, But he will keep the widow's borders intact.
26 The LORD detests the thoughts of the wicked, But the thoughts of the pure are pleasing.
27 He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house, But he who hates bribes will live.
28 The heart of the righteous weighs answers, But the mouth of the wicked gushes out evil.
29 The LORD is far from the wicked, But he hears the prayer of the righteous.
30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart. Good news gives health to the bones.
31 The ear that listens to the reproof lives, And will be at home among the wise.
32 He who refuses correction despises his own soul, But he who listens to reproof gets understanding.
33 The fear of the LORD teaches wisdom. Before honor is humility.
