⁶ In my trouble I called on Yahweh, and to my God I cried for help. He heard my voice from his temple, and my cry for help came up before his presence into his ears. ⁷ Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled, and they staggered because he was angry. ⁸ Smoke went forth from his nose, and fire from his mouth consumed. Burning coals blazed from him. ⁹ So he bowed the heavens and came down with a thick cloud under his feet. ¹⁰ And he mounted a cherub and flew, and he swooped down on wings of wind. ¹¹ He made darkness his hiding place; all about him his covering was a darkness of waters, _⌊thick clouds_⌋.* ¹² From the brightness before him his clouds passed over with hail and coals of fire. ¹³ And Yahweh thundered from the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice with hail and coals of fire. ¹⁴ And he shot his arrows and scattered them,* and many lightning bolts and routed them. ¹⁵ Then the channels of the sea became visible, and the foundations of the world were uncovered by your rebuke, O Yahweh, by the _⌊blast_⌋* of the wind of your nose. ¹⁶ He reached* from on high; he seized me. He drew me from many waters. ¹⁷ He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from those who hated me because they were stronger than I. ¹⁸ They confronted me on the day of disaster, but Yahweh was my support. ¹⁹ So he brought me out to a spacious place. He delivered me because he delighted in me. ²⁰ Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands he has repaid me. ²¹ Because I have kept the ways of Yahweh, and have not acted wickedly against my God, ²² because all his ordinances are before me, and his statutes I have not removed from me, ²³ and I was blameless before him, and I kept myself from my guilt. ²⁴ Therefore Yahweh has repaid me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight. ²⁵ To the loyal you show yourself loyal. To the blameless you show yourself blameless. ²⁶ To the pure you show yourself pure. but to the wicked you show yourself shrewd. ²⁷ For you deliver humble people, but haughty eyes you humiliate. ²⁸ For you light my lamp; Yahweh, my God, lights up my darkness. ²⁹ For with you I can charge a troop, and with my God I can scale a wall. ³⁰ This* God—his way is blameless. The word of Yahweh is flawless.* He is a shield for all those who take refuge in him. ³¹ For who is God apart from Yahweh, and who is a rock except our God? ³² The God who girded me with strength, and made safe* my way, ³³ he made my feet like the deer's, and on my high places he makes me stand. ³⁴ He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. ³⁵ You also gave me the shield of your salvation, and your right hand supported me, and your humility made me great. ³⁶ You enlarged my step under me, and my ankles did not slip. ³⁷ I chased my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back until they were finished off. ³⁸ I struck them and they were not able to stand up; they fell under my feet. ³⁹ And you girded me with strength for the battle; those rising against me you made to kneel under me. ⁴⁰ And you _⌊made my enemies turn their backs_⌋,* then I destroyed those who hated me. ⁴¹ They cried out but there was no rescuer, even to Yahweh, but he did not answer them. ⁴² And I ground them like dust _⌊in the wind_⌋,* I emptied them* out like mud of the streets. ⁴³ You rescued me from strife with people; you set me as head (over) nations. People I did not know served me; ⁴⁴ as soon as _⌊they heard_⌋,* they obeyed me. The children of a foreign land feigned obedience before me. ⁴⁵ The children of a foreign land _⌊lost heart_⌋,* and they came trembling from their strongholds. ⁴⁶ Yahweh lives, and blessed be my rock, and may the God of my salvation be exalted— ⁴⁷ the God who executed vengeance for me, and subdued peoples under me, ⁴⁸ who delivered me from my enemies. Indeed, you exalted me higher than those who rose against me. You delivered me from the man of violence. ⁴⁹ Therefore I will give thanks to you among the nations, O Yahweh, and I will sing the praise of your name: ⁵⁰ the one who makes great victories for his king, and who shows loyal love for his anointed, to David and to his descendants forever.

² And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came up and* rolled away the stone and sat down* on it. ³ Now his appearance was like lightning and his clothing white as snow. ⁴ And the guards trembled from the fear of him and became like dead men. ⁵ But the angel answered and* said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. ⁶ He is not here, for he has been raised, just as he said. Come, see the place where he was lying.

¹⁷ For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came about through Jesus Christ.

¹¹ And when* Peter came to himself, he said, "Now I know truly that the Lord has sent out his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and all _⌊that the Jewish people expected_⌋!"*

²⁰ But if not, let a fire come out from Abimelech and let it devour the lords of Shechem and Beth-Millo; and let a fire come out from the lords of Shechem, and from Beth-Millo, and let it devour Abimelech."

⁹ He lies in ambush _⌊secretly,_⌋* like a lion in a thicket. He lies in ambush to seize the poor; he seizes the poor by catching him in his net.

¹² _⌊He is like_⌋* a lion; he longs to tear apart, and like a strong lion crouching in hiding places. ¹³ Rise up, O Yahweh, confront _⌊him_⌋.* Make him bow down. Rescue with your sword my life from the wicked,

¹³ They open their mouth against me like a lion tearing and roaring. ¹⁴ I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax; it is melted _⌊within me_⌋.* ¹⁵ My strength is dry like a potsherd, and my tongue is sticking to my jaws; and you have placed me in the dust of death. ¹⁶ Because dogs have surrounded me; a gang of evildoers has encircled me. Like the lion* they are at my hands and my feet.

¹⁷ My Lord, how long will you watch? Restore my life from their ravages,* my only life from the young lions.

² Your tongue plans destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceit.

²¹ The _⌊buttery words_⌋* of his mouth were smooth, but there was battle in his heart. His words were smoother than oil, but they were drawn swords.

⁶ O God, break their teeth in their mouth. Break off the fangs of the young lions, O Yahweh.

⁷ Look, they pour out talk with their mouth. Swords are on their lips, for they say, "Who hears?"

³ who sharpen their tongue like a sword. They bend their bow to shoot their arrows—bitter words,

¹⁸ There is one who speaks rashly, like the thrust of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.

¹⁸ Like a club and sword and a sharp arrow is a man who bears false witness against his neighbor.

¹⁵ Like a roaring lion and a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a poor people.

¹⁴ There is a generation whose teeth are swords, and its jawbones, knives, in order to devour the poor from the earth* and the needy from humankind.

²² My God sent his angel and he shut the mouth of the lions and they did not* hurt me, _⌊because_⌋* before him _⌊I was found_⌋* blameless, and also before you, O king, I have not done any wrong." ²³ Then the king was exceedingly glad over it* and commanded that Daniel be lifted up from the pit; and there was not any wound found on him, because he had trusted in his God. ²⁴ The king then commanded, and these men were brought _⌊who had accused Daniel_⌋,* and they threw them and their children and their wives into _⌊the lion pit_⌋,* and they had not reached the floor of the pit _⌊before_⌋* the lions had overpowered them and they had crushed all of their bones.

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to her, "If you had known the gift of God and who it is who says to you, 'Give me water* to drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water." ¹¹ The woman said to him, "Sir, you have no bucket and the well is deep! From where then do you get this living water?

⁶ And the tongue is a fire! The world of unrighteousness,* the tongue, is set among our members, defiling the whole body and setting on fire _⌊the course of human existence_⌋*, being set on fire by hell.

¹⁵ And out of his mouth came a sharp sword, so that with it he could strike the nations. And he will shepherd them with an iron rod,* and he stomps the winepress of the wine of the furious wrath of God, the All-Powerful.

²¹ but as I am alive, the glory of Yahweh will fill all the earth.

¹ Then David the king said to all the assembly, "God has chosen Solomon my son alone, a young man and inexperienced, and the work is great, for the citadel is not for humankind, but for Yahweh God.

¹ For the music director, on the Gittith.* A psalm of David.*

¹³ Be exalted, O Yahweh, in your strength, and we sing and praise your power.

¹¹ Be exalted above the heavens, O God. Let your glory be above all the earth.

¹⁹ And blessed be his glorious name forever, and may the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and Amen.

⁴ because your loyal love is great above the heavens, and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. ⁵ Be exalted above the heavens, O God, and let your glory be above all the earth,

⁴ Yahweh is high above all nations; his glory is above the heavens. ⁵ Who is like Yahweh our God, who is enthroned on high,* ⁶ who _⌊condescends to look at_⌋* what is in the heavens and in the earth?

¹³ let them praise the name of Yahweh, because his name alone is is exalted. His splendor is above earth and heavens.

¹¹ The _⌊haughty eyes_⌋* of humanity will* be brought low, and the pride of everyone will be humbled, and Yahweh alone will be exalted on that day.

¹⁷ And the haughtiness of the people shall be humbled, and the pride of everyone shall be brought low, and Yahweh alone will be exalted on that day.

³ And the one called to the other and said,
"Holy, holy, holy is Yahweh of hosts! The _⌊whole earth is full of his glory_⌋."*

⁴ And you will say on that day,
"Give thanks to Yahweh; call on his name. Make his deeds known among the peoples; bring to remembrance that his name is exalted.

²⁰ So* now, Yahweh, our God, save us from his hand so that* all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you are Yahweh, you alone!"

¹⁴ For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Yahweh, like the waters covering the sea.

³ God came from Teman; the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah His splendor covers the heavens, and his praise fills the earth.

⁹ Therefore you pray in this way:
"Our Father who is in heaven, may your name be treated as holy. ¹⁰ May your kingdom come, may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

²² Go, please, make certain again! Find out and see _⌊exactly where he is_⌋* and who has seen him there! For they have said to me, 'He is very cunning.' ²³ Look, find out all of the hiding places where he hides. Then return to me _⌊with dependable information_⌋,* and I will go with you. And then if he is there in the land, then I will seek him among all the thousands of Judah." ²⁴ Then they got up and went to Ziph before Saul.
Now David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon in the Arabah, to the south of Jeshimon. ²⁵ And Saul and his men went to seek him, and they told David, so he went down to the rock and stayed in the wilderness of Maon. When Saul heard this, he pursued David into the wilderness of Maon. ²⁶ Saul went _⌊on one side of the mountain_⌋,* and David and his men _⌊went on the other side of the mountain_⌋.* David was hurrying to get away from Saul, while Saul and his men were closing in on David and his men to capture them.

¹⁵ He makes a pit and digs it out, then falls in the trap he has made. ¹⁶ His trouble comes back on his head, and his violence comes down on his skull.

¹⁵ The nations have fallen in the pit that they made; their foot is caught in the net that they hid. ¹⁶ Yahweh has made himself known; he has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his hands. Higgaion* Selah

⁷ For without cause they secretly hide the pit with their net for me; without cause they dug it for my life. ⁸ Let _⌊unforeseen ruin_⌋* come on him, and his net that he hid, let it catch him. Let him fall into it in ruin.

⁶ O my God, within me my soul is _⌊in despair_⌋;* therefore I remember you from the land of Jordan and the heights of Hermon, from the mountain of Mizar.

⁵ The proud have hidden a trap for me, and cords. They have spread out a net along the _⌊side_⌋* of the path. They have set snares for me. Selah

³ When my spirit faints within me, you know my way. On the path where I walk, they have hidden a trap for me;

⁴ And so my spirit grows faint within me; my heart _⌊within_⌋* me is desolate.

¹⁴ Yahweh upholds all who are falling, and raises up all who are bowed down.

¹⁰ He who misleads the upright onto the way of evil, into his pits he will fall. But as for the blameless, they will inherit good.

⁵ A strong man who flatters his neighbor is spreading a net for his feet.

² The faithful person has perished from the land, and there is none who is upright among humankind. All of them lie in wait; each hunts his brother with a net.

³⁷ And taking along Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be distressed and troubled. ³⁸ Then he said to them, "My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake with me."

⁴ I sought Yahweh and he answered me, and from all my terrors he delivered me.

¹ A song. A psalm of David.*
My heart is steadfast, O God. I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. ² Awake, harp and lyre. I will awake the dawn.* ³ I will give you thanks among the peoples, O Yahweh; I will give you praise among the nations,

⁷ He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is steadfast, secure* in Yahweh.

¹⁵ Therefore glorify Yahweh in the east, the name of Yahweh the God of Israel in the coastlands of the sea.

³ And not only this, but we also boast in our afflictions, because we* know that affliction produces patient endurance,

²⁰ giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to the God and Father,

¹² "Wake up, wake up, Deborah! Wake up, wake up, sing a song! Get up, Barak! Take captive your captives, O son of Abinoam.

⁹ Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices. Yes, my body will dwell in safety,

¹² so that _⌊I_⌋* may sing praises to you and not be quiet. O Yahweh, my God, I will give thanks to you forever.

¹ A song. A psalm of David.*
My heart is steadfast, O God. I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. ² Awake, harp and lyre. I will awake the dawn.* ³ I will give you thanks among the peoples, O Yahweh; I will give you praise among the nations,

³ Praise him with blast of horn; praise him with harp and lyre.

¹ Awake! Awake; put on your strength, Zion! Put on the garments of your beauty, Jerusalem, _⌊holy city_⌋!* For the uncircumcised and the unclean shall not _⌊continue to_⌋* enter you any longer.

⁹ Break forth, sing for joy together, ruins of Jerusalem, for Yahweh has comforted his people; he has redeemed Jerusalem.

²⁶ For this reason my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced greatly, furthermore also my flesh will live in hope,

¹ Why are nations in tumult, and countries plotting* in vain?*

⁴⁹ Therefore I will give thanks to you among the nations, O Yahweh, and I will sing the praise of your name:

²² I will tell your name to my brothers; inside the assembly I will praise you. ²³ You who revere Yahweh, praise him! Glorify him, all you seed of Jacob, and be in awe of him, all you seed of Israel,

³ Tell his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples.

¹ Of David.*
I give you thanks with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise.

⁴ All the kings of the earth will praise you, O Yahweh, when they have heard the words* of your mouth, ⁵ and they will sing of the ways of Yahweh, because Yahweh's glory is great.

¹⁰ All your works will praise you, O Yahweh, and your faithful ones will bless* you. ¹¹ They will speak of the glory of your kingdom, and talk of your power, ¹² to make known to the children of humankind his mighty deeds, and the glory of the majesty of his kingdom.

⁹ and that the Gentiles may glorify God for his mercy, just as it is written,
"Because of this, I will praise you among the Gentiles, and I will sing praise to your name."*

⁹ "As for me, behold, I am establishing my covenant with you and with your seed after you, ¹⁰ and with every living creature that is with you—the birds, the animals, and every animal of the earth with you, from all that came out of the ark to all the animals of the earth. ¹¹ I am establishing my covenant with you, that never again will all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, nor will there ever be a flood that destroys the earth." ¹² And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant that I am making between me and you, and between every living creature that is with you for future generations. ¹³ My bow I have set in the clouds, and it shall be for a sign of the covenant between me and between the earth. ¹⁴ And when I make clouds appear over the earth the bow shall be seen in the clouds. ¹⁵ Then* I will remember my covenant that is between me and you, and between every living creature, with all flesh. And the waters of a flood will never again _⌊cause the destruction_⌋* of all flesh. ¹⁶ The bow shall be in the clouds, and I will see it, so as to remember the everlasting covenant between God and between every living creature, with all flesh that is upon the earth." ¹⁷ And God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant which I am establishing between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

⁵ O Yahweh, your loyal love extends into the heavens, your faithfulness unto the clouds.

¹⁹ And your righteousness, O God, is to the height of heaven. You who have done great things, O God, who is like you?

¹⁰ Loyal love and faithfulness* will meet one another; righteousness and peace will kiss. ¹¹ Faithfulness* will sprout from the ground, and righteousness will look down from heaven.

¹ A maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite.*
I will sing forever of Yahweh's acts of loyal love. _⌊From generation to generation_⌋* I will make known your faithfulness with my mouth. ² For I say, "Forever your loyal love is built up. The heavens you have established with your faithfulness in them."

¹¹ For as the heavens are high above the earth, so his loyal love prevails over those who fear him.

⁴ because your loyal love is great above the heavens, and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

⁷ I abandoned you _⌊for a short_⌋* moment, but* I will gather you with great compassion. ⁸ I hid my face from you for a moment, in the flowing of anger, but* I will have compassion on you with everlasting faithfulness" says your redeemer, Yahweh. ⁹ "For this is like the waters of Noah to me, when I swore _⌊that the waters of Noah would never again pass_⌋* over the earth, so I swore _⌊that I would not be_⌋* angry at you and rebuke you. ¹⁰ For the mountains may depart, and the hills may sway, but* my faithfulness shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not sway," says Yahweh, who has compassion on you,

¹⁷ In the same way God, because he* wanted to show even more to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of his resolve, guaranteed it with an oath, ¹⁸ in order that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge may have powerful encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us,

⁹ Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all of the earth!

⁵ Be exalted above the heavens, O God. Let your glory be above all the earth.

³ And they were singing the song of Moses, the slave of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying:
"Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God All-Powerful; righteous and true are your ways, King of the ages!* ⁴ Who would never fear, Lord, and glorify your name? For only you are holy, because all the nations* will come and worship before you, because your righteous deeds have been revealed."
