Holy Scripture

46:1 To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. `For the Virgins.’ — A song. God [is] to us a refuge and strength, A help in adversities found most surely.

46:2 Therefore we fear not in the changing of earth, And in the slipping of mountains Into the heart of the seas.

46:3 Roar — troubled are its waters, Mountains they shake in its pride. Selah.

46:4 A river — its rivulets rejoice the city of God, Thy holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.

46:5 God [is] in her midst — she is not moved, God doth help her at the turn of the morn!

46:6 Troubled have been nations, Moved have been kingdoms, He hath given forth with His voice, earth melteth.

46:7 Jehovah of Hosts [is] with us, A tower for us [is] the God of Jacob. Selah.

46:8 Come ye, see the works of Jehovah, Who hath done astonishing things in the earth,

46:9 Causing wars to cease, Unto the end of the earth, the bow he shivereth, And the spear He hath cut asunder, Chariots he doth burn with fire.

46:10 Desist, and know that I [am] God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth.

46:11 Jehovah of hosts [is] with us, A tower for us [is] the God of Jacob! Selah.

47:1 To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. A Psalm. All ye peoples, clap the hand, Shout to God with a voice of singing,

47:2 For Jehovah Most High [is] fearful, A great king over all the earth.

47:3 He leadeth peoples under us, and nations under our feet.

47:4 He doth choose for us our inheritance, The excellency of Jacob that He loves. Selah.

47:5 God hath gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.

47:6 Praise God — praise — give praise to our king, praise.

47:7 For king of all the earth [is] God, Give praise, O understanding one.

47:8 God hath reigned over nations, God hath sat on His holy throne,

47:9 Nobles of peoples have been gathered, [With] the people of the God of Abraham, For to God [are] the shields of earth, Greatly hath He been exalted!

48:1 A Song, a Psalm, by sons of Korah. Great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, In the city of our God — His holy hill.

48:2 Beautiful [for] elevation, A joy of all the land, [is] Mount Zion, The sides of the north, the city of a great king.

48:3 God in her high places is known for a tower.

48:4 For, lo, the kings met, they passed by together,

48:5 They have seen — so they have marvelled, They have been troubled, they were hastened away.

48:6 Trembling hath seized them there, Pain, as of a travailing woman.

48:7 By an east wind Thou shiverest ships of Tarshish.

48:8 As we have heard, so we have seen, In the city of Jehovah of hosts, In the city of our God, God doth establish her — to the age. Selah.

48:9 We have thought, O God, of Thy kindness, In the midst of Thy temple,

44:20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, And spread our hands to a strange God,

44:21 Doth not God search out this? For He knoweth the secrets of the heart.

44:22 Surely, for Thy sake we have been slain all the day, Reckoned as sheep of the slaughter.

44:23 Stir up — why dost Thou sleep, O Lord? Awake, cast us not off for ever.

44:24 Why Thy face hidest Thou? Thou forgettest our afflictions and our oppression,

44:25 For bowed to the dust hath our soul, Cleaved to the earth hath our belly.

44:26 Arise, a help to us, And ransom us for thy kindness’ sake.

45:1 To the Overseer. — `On the Lilies.’ — By sons of Korah. — An Instruction. — A song of loves. My heart hath indited a good thing, I am telling my works to a king, My tongue [is] the pen of a speedy writer.

45:2 Thou hast been beautified above the sons of men, Grace hath been poured into thy lips, Therefore hath God blessed thee to the age.

45:3 Gird Thy sword upon the thigh, O mighty, Thy glory and Thy majesty!

45:4 As to Thy majesty — prosper! — ride! Because of truth, and meekness — righteousness, And Thy right hand showeth Thee fearful things.

45:5 Thine arrows [are] sharp, — Peoples fall under Thee — In the heart of the enemies of the king.

45:6 Thy throne, O God, [is] age-during, and for ever, A sceptre of uprightness [Is] the sceptre of Thy kingdom.

45:7 Thou hast loved righteousness and hatest wickedness, Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee, Oil of joy above thy companions.

45:8 Myrrh and aloes, cassia! all thy garments, Out of palaces of ivory Stringed instruments have made thee glad.

45:9 Daughters of kings [are] among thy precious ones, A queen hath stood at thy right hand, In pure gold of Ophir.

45:10 Hearken, O daughter, and see, incline thine ear, And forget thy people, and thy father’s house,

45:11 And the king doth desire thy beauty, Because he [is] thy lord — bow thyself to him,

45:12 And the daughter of Tyre with a present, The rich of the people do appease thy face.

45:13 All glory [is] the daughter of the king within, Of gold-embroidered work [is] her clothing.

45:14 In divers colours she is brought to the king, Virgins — after her — her companions, Are brought to thee.

45:15 They are brought with joy and gladness, They come into the palace of the king.

45:16 Instead of thy fathers are thy sons, Thou dost appoint them for princes in all the earth.

45:17 I make mention of Thy name in all generations, Therefore do peoples praise Thee, To the age, and for ever!

42:11 What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!

43:1 Judge me, O God, And plead my cause against a nation not pious, From a man of deceit and perverseness Thou dost deliver me,

43:2 For thou [art] the God of my strength. Why hast Thou cast me off? Why mourning do I go up and down, In the oppression of an enemy?

43:3 Send forth Thy light and Thy truth, They — they lead me, they bring me in, Unto Thy holy hill, and unto Thy tabernacles.

43:4 And I go in unto the altar of God, Unto God, the joy of my rejoicing. And I thank Thee with a harp, O God, my God.

43:5 What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!

44:1 To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. An Instruction. O God, with our ears we have heard, Our fathers have recounted to us, The work Thou didst work in their days, In the days of old.

44:2 Thou, [with] Thy hand, nations hast dispossessed. And Thou dost plant them. Thou afflictest peoples, and sendest them away.

44:3 For, not by their sword Possessed they the land, And their arm gave not salvation to them, But Thy right hand, and Thine arm, And the light of Thy countenance, Because Thou hadst accepted them.

44:4 Thou [art] He, my king, O God, Command the deliverances of Jacob.

44:5 By Thee our adversaries we do push, By Thy name tread down our withstanders,

44:6 For, not in my bow do I trust, And my sword doth not save me.

44:7 For Thou hast saved us from our adversaries, And those hating us Thou hast put to shame.

44:8 In God we have boasted all the day, And Thy name to the age we thank. Selah.

44:9 In anger Thou hast cast off and causest us to blush, And goest not forth with our hosts.

44:10 Thou causest us to turn backward from an adversary, And those hating us, Have spoiled for themselves.

44:11 Thou makest us food like sheep, And among nations Thou hast scattered us.

44:12 Thou sellest Thy people — without wealth, And hast not become great by their price.

44:13 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, A scorn and a reproach to our surrounders.

44:14 Thou makest us a simile among nations, A shaking of the head among peoples.

44:15 All the day my confusion [is] before me, And the shame of my face hath covered me.

44:16 Because of the voice of a reproacher and reviler, Because of an enemy and a self-avenger.

44:17 All this met us, and we did not forget Thee, Nor have we dealt falsely in Thy covenant.

44:18 We turn not backward our heart, Nor turn aside doth our step from Thy path.

44:19 But Thou hast smitten us in a place of dragons, And dost cover us over with death-shade.

40:17 And I [am] poor and needy, The Lord doth devise for me. My help and my deliverer [art] Thou, O my God, tarry Thou not.

41:1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. O the happiness of him Who is acting wisely unto the poor, In a day of evil doth Jehovah deliver him.

41:2 Jehovah doth preserve him and revive him, He is happy in the land, And Thou givest him not into the will of his enemies.

41:3 Jehovah supporteth on a couch of sickness, All his bed Thou hast turned in his weakness.

41:4 I — I said, `O Jehovah, favour me, Heal my soul, for I did sin against Thee,’

41:5 Mine enemies say evil of me: When he dieth — his name hath perished!

41:6 And if he came to see — vanity he speaketh, His heart gathereth iniquity to itself, He goeth out — at the street he speaketh.

41:7 All hating me whisper together against me, Against me they devise evil to me:

41:8 A thing of Belial is poured out on him, And because he lay down he riseth not again.

41:9 Even mine ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, made great the heel against me,

41:10 And Thou, Jehovah, favour me, And cause me to rise, And I give recompence to them.

41:11 By this I have known, That Thou hast delighted in me, Because my enemy shouteth not over me.

41:12 As to me, in mine integrity, Thou hast taken hold upon me, And causest me to stand before Thee to the age.

41:13 Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age — and unto the age. Amen and Amen.

42:1 To the Overseer. — An Instruction. By sons of Korah. As a hart doth pant for streams of water, So my soul panteth toward Thee, O God.

42:2 My soul thirsted for God, for the living God, When do I enter and see the face of God?

42:3 My tear hath been to me bread day and night, In their saying unto me all the day, `Where [is] thy God?’

42:4 These I remember, and pour out my soul in me, For I pass over into the booth, I go softly with them unto the house of God, With the voice of singing and confession, The multitude keeping feast!

42:5 What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? Yea, art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him: The salvation of my countenance — My God!

42:6 In me doth my soul bow itself, Therefore I remember Thee from the land of Jordan, And of the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.

42:7 Deep unto deep is calling At the noise of Thy water-spouts, All Thy breakers and Thy billows passed over me.

42:8 By day Jehovah commandeth His kindness, And by night a song [is] with me, A prayer to the God of my life.

42:9 I say to God my rock, `Why hast Thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning in the oppression of an enemy?

42:10 With a sword in my bones Have mine adversaries reproached me, In their saying unto me all the day, `Where [is] thy God?’

39:5 Lo, handbreadths Thou hast made my days, And mine age [is] as nothing before Thee, Only, all vanity [is] every man set up. Selah.

39:6 Only, in an image doth each walk habitually, Only, [in] vain, they are disquieted, He heapeth up and knoweth not who gathereth them.

39:7 And, now, what have I expected? O Lord, my hope — it [is] of Thee.

39:8 From all my transgressions deliver me, A reproach of the fool make me not.

39:9 I have been dumb, I open not my mouth, Because Thou — Thou hast done [it].

39:10 Turn aside from off me Thy stroke, From the striving of Thy hand I have been consumed.

39:11 With reproofs against iniquity, Thou hast corrected man, And dost waste as a moth his desirableness, Only, vanity [is] every man. Selah.

39:12 Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, And [to] my cry give ear, Unto my tear be not silent, For a sojourner I [am] with Thee, A settler like all my fathers.

39:13 Look from me, and I brighten up before I go and am not!

40:1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. I have diligently expected Jehovah, And He inclineth to me, and heareth my cry,

40:2 And He doth cause me to come up From a pit of desolation — from mire of mud, And He raiseth up on a rock my feet, He is establishing my steps.

40:3 And He putteth in my mouth a new song, `Praise to our God.’ Many do see and fear, and trust in Jehovah.

40:4 O the happiness of the man Who hath made Jehovah his trust, And hath not turned unto the proud, And those turning aside to lies.

40:5 Much hast Thou done, Jehovah my God; Thy wonders and Thy thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange unto Thee, I declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered.

40:6 Sacrifice and present Thou hast not desired, Ears Thou hast prepared for me, Burnt and sin-offering Thou hast not asked.

40:7 Then said I, `Lo, I have come,’ In the roll of the book it is written of me,

40:8 To do Thy pleasure, my God, I have delighted, And Thy law [is] within my heart.

40:9 I have proclaimed tidings of righteousness In the great assembly, lo, my lips I restrain not, O Jehovah, Thou hast known.

40:10 Thy righteousness I have not concealed In the midst of my heart, Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation I have told, I have not hidden Thy kindness and Thy truth, To the great assembly.

40:11 Thou, O Jehovah, restrainest not Thy mercies from me, Thy kindness and Thy truth do continually keep me.

40:12 For compassed me have evils innumerable, Overtaken me have mine iniquities, And I have not been able to see; They have been more than the hairs of my head, And my heart hath forsaken me.

40:13 Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my help make haste.

40:14 They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are seeking my soul to destroy it, They are turned backward, And are ashamed, who are desiring my evil.

40:15 They are desolate because of their shame, Who are saying to me, `Aha, aha.’

40:16 All seeking Thee rejoice and are glad in Thee, Those loving Thy salvation say continually, `Jehovah is magnified.’

37:39 And the salvation of the righteous [is] from Jehovah, Their strong place in a time of adversity.

37:40 And Jehovah doth help them and deliver them, He delivereth them from the wicked, And saveth them, Because they trusted in Him!

38:1 A Psalm of David, `To cause to remember.’ Jehovah, in Thy wrath reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.

38:2 For Thine arrows have come down on me, And Thou lettest down upon me Thy hand.

38:3 Soundness is not in my flesh, Because of Thine indignation, Peace is not in my bones because of my sin.

38:4 For mine iniquities have passed over my head, As a heavy burden — too heavy for me.

38:5 Stunk — become corrupt have my wounds, Because of my folly.

38:6 I have been bent down, I have been bowed down — unto excess, All the day I have gone mourning.

38:7 For my flanks have been full of drought, And soundness is not in my flesh.

38:8 I have been feeble and smitten — unto excess, I have roared from disquietude of heart.

38:9 Lord, before Thee [is] all my desire, And my sighing from Thee hath not been hid.

38:10 My heart [is] panting, my power hath forsaken me, And the light of mine eyes, Even they are not with me.

38:11 My lovers and my friends over-against my plague stand. And my neighbours afar off have stood.

38:12 And those seeking my soul lay a snare, And those seeking my evil Have spoken mischievous things, And they do deceits meditate all the day.

38:13 And I, as deaf, hear not. And as a dumb one who openeth not his mouth.

38:14 Yea, I am as a man who heareth not, And in his mouth are no reproofs.

38:15 Because for Thee, O Jehovah, I have waited, Thou dost answer, O Lord my God.

38:16 When I said, `Lest they rejoice over me, In the slipping of my foot against me they magnified themselves.

38:17 For I am ready to halt, And my pain [is] before me continually.

38:18 For mine iniquity I declare, I am sorry for my sin.

38:19 And mine enemies [are] lively, They have been strong, and those hating me without cause, Have been multiplied.

38:20 And those paying evil for good accuse me, Because of my pursuing good.

38:21 Do not forsake me, O Jehovah, My God, be not far from me,

38:22 Haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!

39:1 To the Overseer, to Jeduthun. — A Psalm of David. I have said, `I observe my ways, Against sinning with my tongue, I keep for my mouth a curb, while the wicked [is] before me.’

39:2 I was dumb [with] silence, I kept silent from good, and my pain is excited.

39:3 Hot [is] my heart within me, In my meditating doth the fire burn, I have spoken with my tongue.

39:4 `Cause me to know, O Jehovah, mine end, And the measure of my days — what it [is],’ I know how frail I [am].

37:13 The Lord doth laugh at him, For He hath seen that his day cometh.

37:14 A sword have the wicked opened, And they have trodden their bow, To cause to fall the poor and needy, To slaughter the upright of the way.

37:15 Their sword doth enter into their own heart, And their bows are shivered.

37:16 Better [is] the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked.

37:17 For the arms of the wicked are shivered, And Jehovah is sustaining the righteous.

37:18 Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect, And their inheritance is — to the age.

37:19 They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And in days of famine they are satisfied.

37:20 But the wicked perish, and the enemies of Jehovah, As the preciousness of lambs, Have been consumed, In smoke they have been consumed.

37:21 The wicked is borrowing and repayeth not, And the righteous is gracious and giving.

37:22 For His blessed ones do possess the land, And His reviled ones are cut off.

37:23 From Jehovah [are] the steps of a man, They have been prepared, And his way he desireth.

37:24 When he falleth, he is not cast down, For Jehovah is sustaining his hand.

37:25 Young I have been, I have also become old, And I have not seen the righteous forsaken, And his seed seeking bread.

37:26 All the day he is gracious and lending, And his seed [is] for a blessing.

37:27 Turn aside from evil, and do good, and dwell to the age.

37:28 For Jehovah is loving judgment, And He doth not forsake His saintly ones, To the age they have been kept, And the seed of the wicked is cut off.

37:29 The righteous possess the land, And they dwell for ever on it.

37:30 The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And his tongue speaketh judgment.

37:31 The law of his God [is] his heart, His steps do not slide.

37:32 The wicked is watching for the righteous, And is seeking to put him to death.

37:33 Jehovah doth not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him in his being judged.

37:34 Look unto Jehovah, and keep His way, And He doth exalt thee to possess the land, In the wicked being cut off — thou seest!

37:35 I have seen the wicked terrible, And spreading as a green native plant,

37:36 And he passeth away, and lo, he is not, And I seek him, and he is not found!

37:37 Observe the perfect, and see the upright, For the latter end of each [is] peace.

37:38 And transgressors were destroyed together, The latter end of the wicked was cut off.

35:27 They sing and rejoice, who are desiring my righteousness, And they say continually, `Jehovah is magnified, Who is desiring the peace of His servant.’

35:28 And my tongue uttereth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy praise!

36:1 To the Overseer. — By a servant of Jehovah, by David. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, `Fear of God is not before his eyes,

36:2 For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.

36:3 The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently — to do good.

36:4 Iniquity he deviseth on his bed, He stationeth himself on a way not good, Evil he doth not refuse.’

36:5 O Jehovah, in the heavens [is] Thy kindness, Thy faithfulness [is] unto the clouds.

36:6 Thy righteousness [is] as mountains of God, Thy judgments [are] a great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O Jehovah.

36:7 How precious [is] Thy kindness, O God, And the sons of men In the shadow of Thy wings do trust.

36:8 They are filled from the fatness of Thy house, And the stream of Thy delights Thou dost cause them to drink.

36:9 For with Thee [is] a fountain of life, In Thy light we see light.

36:10 Draw out Thy kindness to those knowing Thee, And Thy righteousness to the upright of heart.

36:11 Let not a foot of pride meet me, And a hand of the wicked let not move me.

36:12 There have workers of iniquity fallen, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!

37:1 By David. Do not fret because of evil doers, Be not envious against doers of iniquity,

37:2 For as grass speedily they are cut off, And as the greenness of the tender grass do fade.

37:3 Trust in Jehovah, and do good, Dwell [in] the land, and enjoy faithfulness,

37:4 And delight thyself on Jehovah, And He giveth to thee the petitions of thy heart.

37:5 Roll on Jehovah thy way, And trust upon Him, and He worketh,

37:6 And hath brought out as light thy righteousness, And thy judgment as noon-day.

37:7 Be silent for Jehovah, and stay thyself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making prosperous his way, Because of a man doing wicked devices.

37:8 Desist from anger, and forsake fury, Fret not thyself only to do evil.

37:9 For evil doers are cut off, As to those waiting on Jehovah, they possess the land.

37:10 And yet a little, and the wicked is not, And thou hast considered his place, and it is not.

37:11 And the humble do possess the land, And they have delighted themselves In the abundance of peace.

37:12 The wicked is devising against the righteous, And gnashing against him his teeth.

34:22 Jehovah redeemeth the soul of His servants, And none trusting in Him are desolate!

35:1 By David. Strive, Jehovah, with my strivers, fight with my fighters,

35:2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise for my help,

35:3 And draw out spear and lance, To meet my pursuers. Say to my soul, `Thy salvation I [am].’

35:4 They are ashamed and blush, those seeking my soul, Turned backward and confounded, Those devising my evil.

35:5 They are as chaff before wind, And a messenger of Jehovah driving away.

35:6 Their way is darkness and slipperiness, And a messenger of Jehovah their pursuer.

35:7 For without cause they hid for me their netpit, Without cause they digged for my soul.

35:8 Meet him doth desolation — he knoweth not, And his net that he hid catcheth him, For desolation he falleth into it.

35:9 And my soul is joyful in Jehovah, It rejoiceth in His salvation.

35:10 All my bones say, `Jehovah, who is like Thee, Delivering the poor from the stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.’

35:11 Violent witnesses rise up, That which I have not known they ask me.

35:12 They pay me evil for good, bereaving my soul,

35:13 And I — in their sickness my clothing [is] sackcloth, I have humbled with fastings my soul, And my prayer unto my bosom returneth.

35:14 As [if] a friend, as [if] my brother, I walked habitually, As a mourner for a mother, Mourning I have bowed down.

35:15 And — in my halting they have rejoiced, And have been gathered together, Gathered against me were the smiters, And I have not known, They have rent, and they have not ceased;

35:16 With profane ones, mockers in feasts, Gnashing against me their teeth.

35:17 Lord, how long dost thou behold? Keep back my soul from their desolations, From young lions my only one.

35:18 I thank Thee in a great assembly, Among a mighty people I praise Thee.

35:19 Mine enemies rejoice not over me [with] falsehood, Those hating me without cause wink the eye.

35:20 For they speak not peace, And against the quiet of the land, Deceitful words they devise,

35:21 And they enlarge against me their mouth, They said, `Aha, aha, our eye hath seen.’

35:22 Thou hast seen, O Jehovah, Be not silent, O Lord — be not far from me,

35:23 Stir up, and wake to my judgment, My God, and my Lord, to my plea.

35:24 Judge me according to Thy righteousness, O Jehovah my God, And they do not rejoice over me.

35:25 They do not say in their heart, `Aha, our desire.’ They do not say, `We swallowed him up.’

35:26 They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are rejoicing at my evil. They put on shame and confusion, Who are magnifying themselves against me.

33:15 Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending unto all their works.

33:16 The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.

33:17 A false thing [is] the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth not deliver.

33:18 Lo, the eye of Jehovah [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,

33:19 To deliver from death their soul, And to keep them alive in famine.

33:20 Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield [is] He,

33:21 For in Him doth our heart rejoice, For in His holy name we have trusted.

33:22 Let Thy kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, As we have waited for Thee!

34:1 By David, in his changing his behaviour before Abimelech, and he driveth him away, and he goeth. I do bless Jehovah at all times, Continually His praise [is] in my mouth.

34:2 In Jehovah doth my soul boast herself, Hear do the humble and rejoice.

34:3 Ascribe ye greatness to Jehovah with me, And we exalt His name together.

34:4 I sought Jehovah, and He answered me, And from all my fears did deliver me.

34:5 They looked expectingly unto Him, And they became bright, And their faces are not ashamed.

34:6 This poor [one] called, and Jehovah heard, And from all his distresses saved him.

34:7 A messenger of Jehovah is encamping, Round about those who fear Him, And He armeth them.

34:8 Taste ye and see that Jehovah [is] good, O the happiness of the man who trusteth in Him.

34:9 Fear Jehovah, ye His holy ones, For there is no lack to those fearing Him.

34:10 Young lions have lacked and been hungry, And those seeking Jehovah lack not any good,

34:11 Come ye, children, hearken to me, The fear of Jehovah I do teach you.

34:12 Who [is] the man that is desiring life? Loving days to see good?

34:13 Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking deceit.

34:14 Turn aside from evil and do good, Seek peace and pursue it.

34:15 The eyes of Jehovah [are] unto the righteous, And His ears unto their cry.

34:16 (The face of Jehovah [is] on doers of evil, To cut off from earth their memorial.)

34:17 They cried, and Jehovah heard, And from all their distresses delivered them.

34:18 Near [is] Jehovah to the broken of heart, And the bruised of spirit He saveth.

34:19 Many [are] the evils of the righteous, Out of them all doth Jehovah deliver him.

34:20 He is keeping all his bones, One of them hath not been broken.

34:21 Evil doth put to death the wicked, And those hating the righteous are desolate.
