PSALMS
Psalms 13
1 How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?
3 Behold, and answer me, LORD, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;
4 Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him;" Lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.
5 But I trust in your lovingkindness. My heart rejoices in your yeshu`ah.
6 I will sing to the LORD, Because he has been good to me.
Psalms 43
1 Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.
2 For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3 Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill, To your tents.
4 Then I will go to the altar of God, To God, my exceeding joy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.
5 Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him, The saving help of my face, and my God.
Psalms 73
1 Surely God is good to Yisra'el, To those who are pure in heart.
2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone. My steps had nearly slipped.
3 For I was envious of the arrogant, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 For there are no struggles in their death, But their strength is firm.
5 They are free from burdens of men, Neither are they plagued like other men.
6 Therefore pride is like a chain around their neck. Violence covers them like a garment.
7 Their eyes bulge with fat. Their minds pass the limits of conceit.
8 They scoff and speak with malice. In arrogance, they threaten oppression.
9 They have set their mouth in the heavens. Their tongue walks through the eretz.
10 Therefore their people return to them, And they drink up waters of abundance.
11 They say, "How does God know? Is there knowledge in Ha`Elyon?"
12 Behold, these are the wicked. Being always at ease, they increase in riches.
13 Surely in vain I have cleansed my heart, And washed my hands in innocence,
14 For all day long have I been plagued, And punished every morning.
15 If I had said, "I will speak thus;" Behold, I would have betrayed the generation of your children.
16 When I tried to understand this, It was too painful for me;
17 Until I entered God's sanctuary, And considered their latter end.
18 Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.
19 How they are suddenly destroyed! They are completely swept away with terrors.
20 As a dream when one wakes up, So, Lord, when you awake, you will despise their fantasies.
21 For my soul was grieved. I was embittered in my heart.
22 I was so senseless and ignorant. I was a brute beast before you.
23 Nevertheless, I am continually with you. You have held my right hand.
24 You will guide me with your counsel, And afterward receive me to glory.
25 Who do I have in heaven? There is no one on eretz who I desire besides you.
26 My flesh and my heart fails, But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
27 For, behold, those who are far from you shall perish. You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to you.
28 But it is good for me to come close to God. I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, That I may tell of all your works.
Psalms 103
1 Praise the LORD, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name!
2 Praise the LORD, my soul, And don't forget all his benefits;
3 Who forgives all your sins; Who heals all your diseases;
4 Who redeems your life from destruction; Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5 Who satisfies your desire with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6 The LORD executes righteous acts, And justice for all who are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moshe, His deeds to the children of Yisra'el.
8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness.
9 He will not always accuse; Neither will he stay angry forever.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor rewarded us for our iniquities.
11 For as the heavens are high above the eretz, So great is his lovingkindness toward those who fear him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, So far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13 Like a father has compassion on his children, So the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.
14 For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place remembers it no more.
17 But the LORD's lovingkindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, His righteousness to children's children;
18 To those who keep his covenant, To those who remember to obey his precepts.
19 The LORD has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all.
20 Praise the LORD, you angels of his, Who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, Obeying the voice of his word.
21 Praise the LORD, all you hosts of his, You servants of his, who do his pleasure.
22 Praise the LORD, all you works of his, In all places of his dominion. Praise the LORD, my soul.
Psalms 133
1 See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!
2 It is like the precious oil on the head, That ran down on the beard, Even Aharon's beard; That came down on the edge of his robes;
3 Like the dew of Hermon, That comes down on the hills of Tziyon: For there the LORD gives the blessing, Even life forevermore.
PROVERBS
Proverbs 13
1 A wise son listens to his father's instruction, But a scoffer doesn't listen to rebuke.
2 By the fruit of his lips, a man enjoys good things; But the unfaithful crave violence.
3 He who guards his mouth guards his soul. One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
4 The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing, But the desire of the diligent shall be fully satisfied.
5 A righteous man hates lies, But a wicked man brings shame and disgrace.
6 Righteousness guards the way of integrity, But wickedness overthrows the sinner.
7 There are some who pretend to be rich, yet have nothing. There are some who pretend to be poor, yet have great wealth.
8 The ransom of a man's life is his riches, But the poor hears no threats.
9 The light of the righteous shines brightly, But the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out.
10 By pride comes only quarrels, But with ones who take advice is wisdom.
11 Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away, But he who gathers by hand makes it grow.
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But when longing is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.
13 Whoever despises instruction will pay for it, But he who respects a command will be rewarded.
14 The teaching of the wise is a spring of life, To turn from the snares of death.
15 Good understanding wins favor; But the way of the unfaithful is hard.
16 Every prudent man acts from knowledge, But a fool exposes folly.
17 A wicked messenger falls into trouble, But a trustworthy envoy gains healing.
18 Poverty and shame come to him who refuses discipline, But he who heeds correction shall be honored.
19 Longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul, But fools detest turning from evil.
20 One who walks with wise men grows wise, But a companion of fools suffers harm.
21 Misfortune pursues sinners, But prosperity rewards the righteous.
22 A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, But the wealth of the sinner is stored for the righteous.
23 An abundance of food is in poor people's fields, But injustice sweeps it away.
24 One who spares the rod hates his son, But one who loves him is careful to discipline him.
25 The righteous one eats to the satisfying of his soul, But the belly of the wicked goes hungry.
