PSALMS
Psalms 23
1 The LORD is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing.
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.
3 He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You have anointed my head with oil. My cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and lovingkindness shall follow me all the days of my life, And I shall dwell in the LORD's house forever.
Psalms 53
1 The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity. There is no one who does good.
2 God looks down from heaven on the children of men, To see if there are any who understood, Who seek after God.
3 Every one of them has gone back. They have become filthy together. There is no one who does good, no, not one.
4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And don't call on God?
5 There they were in great fear, where no fear was, For God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you. You have put them to shame, Because God has rejected them.
6 Oh that the yeshu`ah of Yisra'el would come out of Tziyon! When God brings back the captivity of his people, Then shall Ya`akov rejoice. Yisra'el shall be glad.
Psalms 83
1 God, don't keep silent. Don't keep silent, and don't be still, God.
2 For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.
3 They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.
4 "Come," they say, "and let us destroy them as a nation, That the name of Yisra'el may be remembered no more."
5 For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you.
6 The tents of Edom and the Yishme`elim; Mo'av, and the Hagrim;
7 Geval, `Ammon, and `Amalek; Peleshet with the inhabitants of Tzor;
8 Ashshur also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah.
9 Do to them as you did to Midyan, As to Sisera, as to Yavin, at the river Kishon;
10 Who perished at `En-Dor, Who became as dung for the eretz.
11 Make their nobles like `Orev and Ze'ev; Yes, all their princes like Zevach and Tzalmunnah;
12 Who said, "Let us take possession Of God's pasturelands."
13 My God, make them like tumbleweed; Like chaff before the wind.
14 As the fire that burns the forest, As the flame that sets the mountains on fire,
15 So pursue them with your tempest, Terrify them with your storm.
16 Fill their faces with confusion, That they may seek your name, LORD.
17 Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;
18 That they may know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, Are Ha`Elyon over all the eretz.
Psalms 113
1 Praise the LORD! Praise, you servants of the LORD, Praise the name of the LORD.
2 Blessed be the name of the LORD, From this time forth and forevermore.
3 From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, The LORD's name is to be praised.
4 The LORD is high above all nations, His glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like the LORD, our God, Who has his seat on high,
6 Who stoops down to see in heaven and in the eretz?
7 He raises up the poor out of the dust. Lifts up the needy from the ash heap;
8 That he may set him with princes, Even with the princes of his people.
9 He settles the barren woman in her home, As a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD!
Psalms 143
1 Hear my prayer, LORD. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.
2 Don't enter into judgment with your servant, For in your sight no man living is righteous.
3 For the enemy pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead.
4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is desolate.
5 I remember the days of old. I meditate on all your doings. I contemplate the work of your hands.
6 I spread forth my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. Selah.
7 Hurry to answer me, LORD. My spirit fails. Don't hide your face from me, So that I don't become like those who go down into the pit.
8 Cause me to hear your lovingkindness in the morning, For I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to you.
9 Deliver me, LORD, from my enemies. I flee to you to hide me.
10 Teach me to do your will, For you are my God. Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.
11 Revive me, LORD, for your name's sake. In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.
12 In your lovingkindness, cut off my enemies, And destroy all those who afflict my soul, For I am your servant.
PROVERBS
Proverbs 23
1 When you sit to eat with a ruler, Consider diligently what is before you;
2 Put a knife to your throat, If you are a man given to appetite.
3 Don't be desirous of his dainties, Seeing they are deceitful food.
4 Don't weary yourself to be rich. In your wisdom, show restraint
5 Why do you set your eyes on that which is not? For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky.
6 Don't eat the food of him who has a stingy eye, And don't crave his delicacies:
7 For as he thinks about the cost, so he is. "Eat and drink!" he says to you, But his heart is not with you.
8 The morsel which you have eaten you shall vomit up, And lose your good words.
9 Don't speak in the ears of a fool, For he will despise the wisdom of your words.
10 Don't move the ancient boundary stone. Don't encroach on the fields of the fatherless:
11 For their Defender is strong. He will plead their case against you.
12 Apply your heart to instruction, And your ears to the words of knowledge.
13 Don't withhold correction from a child. If you punish him with the rod, he will not die.
14 Punish him with the rod, And save his soul from She'ol
15 My son, if your heart is wise, Then my heart will be glad, even mine:
16 Yes, my heart will rejoice, When your lips speak what is right.
17 Don't let your heart envy sinners; But rather fear the LORD all the day long.
18 Indeed surely there is a future hope, And your hope will not be cut off.
19 Listen, my son, and be wise, And keep your heart on the right path
20 Don't be among ones drinking too much wine, Or those who gorge themselves on meat:
21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall become poor; And drowsiness clothes them in rags
22 Listen to your father who gave you life, And don't despise your mother when she is old.
23 Buy the truth, and don't sell it: Get wisdom, discipline, and understanding.
24 The father of the righteous has great joy. Whoever fathers a wise child delights in him.
25 Let your father and your mother be glad! Let her who bore you rejoice!
26 My son, give me your heart; And let your eyes keep in my ways.
27 For a prostitute is a deep pit; And a wayward wife is a narrow well.
28 Yes, she lies in wait like a robber, And increases the unfaithful among men.
29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?
30 Those who stay long at the wine; Those who go to seek out mixed wine.
31 Don't look at the wine when it is red, When it sparkles in the cup, When it goes down smoothly:
32 At the last it bites like a snake, And poisons like a viper.
33 Your eyes will see strange things, And your mind will imagine confusing things.
34 Yes, you will be as he who lies down in the midst of the sea, Or as he who lies on top of the rigging:
35 "They hit me, and I was not hurt; They beat me, and I don't feel it! When will I wake up? I can do it again. I can find another."
