he

(It is He) who setteth me up in glory, And bringeth down the proud to eternal destruction in dishonour, Because they knew Him not.

And now behold, ye princes of the earth, the judgment of the Lord, For a great king and righteous (is He), judging (all) that is under heaven.

So that He will distinguish between the righteous and the sinner, (And) recompense the sinners for ever according to their deeds;

And have mercy on the righteous, (delivering him) from the affliction of the sinner, And recompensing the sinner for what he hath done to the righteous.

The righteous stumbleth and holdeth the Lord righteous: He falleth and looketh out for what God will do to him;

He seeketh out whence his deliverance will come.

He maketh atonement for (sins of) ignorance by fasting and afflicting his soul,

The sinner stumbleth and curseth his life, The day when he was begotten, and his mother's travail.

He addeth sins to sins, while he liveth ();

He addeth sins to sins, while he liveth ();

He falleth—verily grievous is his fall—and riseth no more. The destruction of the sinner is for ever,

And he shall not be remembered, when the righteous is visited.

Extravagant in speech, extravagant in outward seeming beyond all (men), Is he that is severe of speech in condemning sinners in judgment.

And his hand is first upon him as (though he acted) in zeal, And (yet) he is himself guilty in respect of manifold sins and of wantonness.

And his hand is first upon him as (though he acted) in zeal, And (yet) he is himself guilty in respect of manifold sins and of wantonness.

His eyes are upon every woman without distinction; His tongue lieth when he maketh contract with an oath.

By night and in secret he sinneth as though unseen, With his eyes he talketh to every woman of evil compacts.

By night and in secret he sinneth as though unseen, With his eyes he talketh to every woman of evil compacts.

He is swift to enter every house with cheerfulness as though guileless.

His words are deceitful that (he) may accomplish (his) wicked desire.

He never ceaseth from scattering (families) as though (they were) orphans, Yea, he layeth waste a house on account of (his) lawless desire.

He never ceaseth from scattering (families) as though (they were) orphans, Yea, he layeth waste a house on account of (his) lawless desire.

He deceiveth with words, (saying,) There is none that seeth, or judgeth.

He fills one (house) with lawlessness, And (then) his eyes (are fixed) upon the next house, To destroy it with words that give wing to (desire). (Yet) with all these his soul, like Sheol, is not sated.

Let him come home empty-handed to his house, And his house be void of everything wherewith he could sate his appetite.

But they have provoked God's anger and vexed Him. May He remove them from off the earth, Because with deceit they beguiled the souls of the flawless.

For man and his portion (lie) before Thee in the balance; He cannot add to, so as to enlarge, what has been prescribed by Thee. O God,

Man's goodness is (bestowed) grudgingly and . . .; And if he repeat (it) without murmuring, even that is marvelous.

But Thy gift is great in goodness and wealth, And he whose hope is (set) on Thee shall have no lack of gifts.

Happy is he whom God remembereth in (granting to him) a due sufficiency;

If a man abound over much, he sinneth.

They that fear the Lord rejoice in good (gifts), And Thy goodness is upon Israel in Thy kingdom. Blessed is the glory of the Lord for He is our king.

When he remembereth the name of the Lord, he will be saved.

When he remembereth the name of the Lord, he will be saved.

At what he sees in his bad dreams, his soul shall not be troubled;

When he passes through rivers and the tossing of the seas, he shall not be dismayed.

When he passes through rivers and the tossing of the seas, he shall not be dismayed.

He ariseth from his sleep, and blesseth the name of the Lord:

When his heart is at peace, he singeth to the name of his God, And he entreateth the Lord for all his house.

When his heart is at peace, he singeth to the name of his God, And he entreateth the Lord for all his house.

He brought him that is from the end of the earth, that smiteth mightily;

He decreed () war against Jerusalem, and against her land.

As a father (entereth) the house of his sons, (so) he entered (Jerusalem) in peace; He established his feet (there) in great safety.

As a father (entereth) the house of his sons, (so) he entered (Jerusalem) in peace; He established his feet (there) in great safety.

He captured her fortresses and the wall of Jerusalem;

He destroyed their princes and every one wise in counsel; He poured out the blood of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, like the water of uncleanness.

He destroyed their princes and every one wise in counsel; He poured out the blood of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, like the water of uncleanness.

He led away their sons and daughters, whom they had begotten in defilement.

He that doeth righteousness layeth up life for himself with the Lord; And he that doeth wrongly forfeits his life to destruction;

He that doeth righteousness layeth up life for himself with the Lord; And he that doeth wrongly forfeits his life to destruction;

He cleanseth from sins a soul when it maketh confession, when it maketh acknowledgement;

And to whom doth He forgive sins, except to them that have sinned

Happy is the man whom the Lord remembereth with reproving, And whom He restraineth from the way of evil with strokes, That he may be cleansed from sin, that it may not be multiplied.

Happy is the man whom the Lord remembereth with reproving, And whom He restraineth from the way of evil with strokes, That he may be cleansed from sin, that it may not be multiplied.

He that maketh ready his back for strokes shall be cleansed, For the Lord is good to them that endure chastening.

For He maketh straight the ways of the righteous, And doth not pervert (them) by His chastening.

High mountains hath He abased into a plain for them;

Let the Lord do what He hath spoken concerning Israel and Jerusalem; Let the Lord raise up Israel by His glorious name. The mercy of the Lord be upon Israel for ever and ever.

So he delights to fill houses with a lying tongue, To cut down the trees of gladness which setteth on fire transgressors,

The righteous was troubled on account of his errors, Lest he should be taken away along with the sinners;

For He correcteth the righteous as a beloved son, And his chastisement is as that of a firstborn.

Faithful is the Lord to them that love Him in truth, To them that endure His chastening, To them that walk in the righteousness of His commandments, In the law which He commanded us that we might live.

And they remember not God. For the ways of men are known before Him at all times, And He knoweth the secrets of the heart before they come to pass.

He that offereth these things shall never be shaken by evil; The flame of fire and the wrath against the unrighteous shall not touch him,

He pricked me, as a horse is pricked, that I might serve Him, My savior and helper at all times saved me.

If the righteous endureth in all these (trials), he shall receive mercy from the Lord.

God showed them no pity; He sought out their seed and let not one of them go free.

Faithful is the Lord in all His judgments Which He doeth upon the earth.

In the heat of His anger He sent them away even unto the west, And (He exposed) the rulers of the land unsparingly to derision.

In the heat of His anger He sent them away even unto the west, And (He exposed) the rulers of the land unsparingly to derision.

And all things [whatsoever he did in] Jerusalem, As also the nations [in the cities to their gods.]

Behold, O Lord, and raise up unto them their king, the son of David, At the time in the which Thou seest, O God, that he may reign over Israel Thy servant

And gird him with strength, that he may shatter unrighteous rulers,

And that he may purge Jerusalem from nations that trample (her) down to destruction. Wisely, righteously

he shall thrust out sinners from (the) inheritance, He shall destroy the pride of the sinner as a potter's vessel. With a rod of iron he shall break in pieces all their substance,
