Psalms 8
1 LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the eretz, Who has set your glory above the heavens!
2 From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, Because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, The moon and the stars, which you have ordained;
4 What is man, that you think of him? The son of man, that you care for him?
5 For you have made him a little lower than God, And crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen, Yes, and the animals of the field,
8 The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, And whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
9 LORD, our Lord, How majestic is your name in all the eretz!
Psalms 38
1 LORD, don't rebuke me in your wrath, Neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.
2 For your arrows have pierced me, Your hand presses hard on me.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, Neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
4 For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
5 My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, Because of my foolishness.
6 I am pained and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.
7 For my loins are filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.
8 I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.
9 Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.
10 My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it also is gone from me.
11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand afar off.
12 They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, And meditate deceits all day long.
13 But I, as a deaf man, don't hear. I am as a mute man who doesn't open his mouth.
14 Yes, I am as a man who doesn't hear, In whose mouth are no reproofs.
15 For in you, LORD, do I hope. You will answer, Lord my God.
16 For I said, "Don't let them gloat over me, Or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips."
17 For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.
18 For I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin.
19 But my enemies are vigorous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous.
20 They who also render evil for good are adversaries to me, Because I follow what is good.
21 Don't forsake me, LORD. My God, don't be far from me.
22 Hurry to help me, Lord, my salvation.
Psalms 68
1 Let God arise! Let his enemies be scattered! Let them who hate him also flee before him.
2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 But let the righteous be glad. Let them rejoice before God. Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.
4 Sing to God! Sing praises to his name! Extol him who rides on the clouds -- To the LORD, his name! Rejoice before him.
5 A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, Is God in his holy habitation.
6 God sets the lonely in families. He brings out the prisoners with singing, But the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.
7 God, when you went forth before your people, When you marched through the wilderness... Selah.
8 The eretz trembled. The sky also poured down rain at the presence of the God of Sinai -- At the presence of God, the God of Yisra'el.
9 You, God, sent a plentiful rain. You confirmed your inheritance, when it was weary.
10 Your congregation lived therein. You, God, prepared your goodness for the poor.
11 The Lord announced the word. The ones who proclaim it are a great company.
12 "Kings of armies flee! They flee!" She who waits at home divides the spoil,
13 While you sleep among the campfires, The wings of a dove sheathed with silver, Her feathers with shining gold.
14 When Shaddai scattered kings in her, It snowed on Tzalmon.
15 The mountains of Bashan are majestic mountains. The mountains of Bashan are rugged.
16 Why do you look in envy, you rugged mountains, At the mountain where God chooses to reign? Yes, the LORD will dwell there forever.
17 The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands. The Lord is among them, from Sinai, into the sanctuary.
18 You have ascended on high. You have led away captives. You have received gifts among men, Yes, among the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell there.
19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burdens, Even the God who is our salvation. Selah.
20 God is to us a God of deliverance. To the LORD, the Lord, belongs escape from death.
21 But God will strike through the head of his enemies, The hairy scalp of such a one as still continues in his guiltiness.
22 The Lord said, "I will bring you again from Bashan, I will bring you again from the depths of the sea;
23 That you may crush them, dipping your foot in blood, That the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies."
24 They have seen your goings, God, Even the goings of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
25 The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, In the midst of the ladies playing with timbrels,
26 "Bless God in the congregations, Even the Lord in the assembly of Yisra'el!"
27 There is little Binyamin, their ruler, The princes of Yehudah, their council, The princes of Zevulun, and the princes of Naftali.
28 Your God has commanded your strength. Strengthen, God, that which you have done for us.
29 Because of your temple at Yerushalayim, Kings shall bring presents to you.
30 Rebuke the wild animal of the reeds, The multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples. Being humbled, may it bring bars of silver. Scatter the nations that delight in war.
31 Princes shall come out of Mitzrayim. Kush shall hurry to stretch out her hands to God.
32 Sing to God, you kingdoms of the eretz! Sing praises to the Lord! Selah.
33 To him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which are of old; Behold, he utters his voice, a mighty voice.
34 Ascribe strength to God! His excellency is over Yisra'el, His strength is in the skies.
35 You are awesome, God, in your sanctuaries. The God of Yisra'el gives strength and power to his people. Praise be to God!
Psalms 98
1 Sing to the LORD a new song, For he has done marvelous things! His right hand, and his holy arm, have worked salvation for him.
2 The LORD has made known his yeshu`ah. He has openly shown his righteousness in the sight of the nations.
3 He has remembered his lovingkindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Yisra'el. All the ends of the eretz have seen the yeshu`ah of our God.
4 Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the eretz! Burst out and sing for joy, yes, sing praises!
5 Sing praises to the LORD with the harp, With the harp and the voice of melody.
6 With trumpets and sound of the ram's horn. Make a joyful noise before the King, the LORD.
7 Let the sea roar with its fullness; The world, and those who dwell therein.
8 Let the rivers clap their hands. Let the mountains sing for joy together.
9 Let them sing before the LORD, For he comes to judge the eretz. He will judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with equity.
Psalms 128
1 Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, Who walks in his ways.
2 For you will eat the labor of your hands. You will be happy, and it will be well with you.
3 Your wife will be as a fruitful vine, In the innermost parts of your house; Your children like olive plants, Around your table.
4 Behold, thus is the man blessed who fears the LORD.
5 May the LORD bless you out of Tziyon, And may you see the good of Yerushalayim all the days of your life.
6 Yes, may you see your children's children. Shalom be upon Yisra'el.
PROVERBS
Proverbs 8
1 Doesn't wisdom cry out? Doesn't understanding raise her voice?
2 On the top of high places by the way, Where the paths meet, she stands.
3 Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, At the entry doors, she cries aloud:
4 "To you men, I call! I send my voice to the sons of mankind.
5 You simple, understand prudence. You fools, be of an understanding heart.
6 Hear, for I will speak excellent things. The opening of my lips is for right things.
7 For my mouth speaks truth. Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness. There is nothing crooked or perverse in them.
9 They are all plain to him who understands, Right to those who find knowledge.
10 Receive my instruction rather than silver; Knowledge rather than choice gold.
11 For wisdom is better than rubies. All the things that may be desired can't be compared to it.
12 "I, wisdom, have made prudence my dwelling. Find out knowledge and discretion.
13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil. I hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth.
14 Counsel and sound knowledge are mine. I have understanding and power.
15 By me kings reign, And princes decree justice.
16 By me princes rule; Nobles, and all the righteous rulers of the eretz.
17 I love those who love me. Those who seek me diligently will find me.
18 With me are riches, honor, Enduring wealth, and prosperity.
19 My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold; My yield than choice silver.
20 I walk in the way of righteousness, In the midst of the paths of justice;
21 That I may give wealth to those who love me. I fill their treasuries.
22 "The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his work, Before his deeds of old.
23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, Before the eretz existed.
24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth, When there were no springs abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains were settled in place, Before the hills, I was brought forth;
26 While as yet he had not made the eretz, nor the fields, Nor the beginning of the dust of the world.
27 When he established the heavens, I was there; When he set a circle on the surface of the deep,
28 When he established the clouds above, When the springs of the deep became strong,
29 When he gave to the sea its boundary, That the waters should not violate his mitzvah, When he marked out the foundations of the eretz;
30 Then I was the craftsman by his side. I was a delight day by day, Always rejoicing before him,
31 Rejoicing in his whole world. My delight was with the sons of men.
32 "Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, For blessed are those who keep my ways.
33 Hear instruction, and be wise, Don't refuse it.
34 Blessed is the man who hears me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at my door posts.
35 For whoever finds me, finds life, And will obtain favor from the LORD.
36 But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me love death."
