¹⁸ There is he who speaks rashly like the piercings of a sword, but the tongue of the wise is health.

¹⁸ A man who bears false witness against his neighbor is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.

¹⁵ He has made a pit, and dug it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made. ¹⁶ His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own scalp.

¹⁵ The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken. ¹⁶ LORD has made himself known. He has executed justice. The wicked man is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

⁷ For without cause they have hid their net for me in a pit. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul. ⁸ Let destruction come upon him unawares, and let his net that he has hid catch himself. Let him fall in it with destruction.

⁶ O my God, my soul is cast down within me. Therefore I remember thee from the land of the Jordan, and the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.

⁵ The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords. They have spread a net by the wayside. They have set snares for me. Selah.

⁴ Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is desolate.

¹⁴ LORD upholds all who fall, and raises up all those who are bowed down.

¹⁰ He who causes the upright to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit. But the perfect shall inherit good.

⁵ A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his steps.

² The devout man has perished out of the earth, and there is none upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood. They hunt every man his brother with a net.

³⁷ And having taken Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and distressed. ³⁸ Then Jesus says to them, My soul is deeply grieved, as far as of death. Remain ye here and watch with me.

¹ My heart is fixed, O God, I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory. ² Awake, psaltery and harp. I myself will awake right early. ³ I will give thanks to thee, O LORD, among the peoples, and I will sing praises to thee among the nations.

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

¹² Awake, awake, Deborah, awake, awake, utter a song. Arise, Barak, and lead away thy captives, thou son of Abinoam.

⁹ Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices. My flesh also shall dwell in hope.

⁹ Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem, for LORD has comforted his people. He has redeemed Jerusalem.

²⁶ Because of this my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad. And moreover my flesh will also rest in hope.

¹ Why do the nations rage, and the peoples meditate vain things?

⁴⁹ Therefore I will give thanks to thee, O LORD, among the Gentiles, and will sing praises to thy name.

²² I will declare thy name to my brothers. In the midst of the congregation I will praise thee. ²³ Ye who fear LORD, praise him. All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him, and stand in awe of him, all ye the seed of Israel.

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

¹ I will give thee thanks with my whole heart. I will sing praises to thee before the gods.

⁴ All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words of thy mouth. ⁵ Yea, they shall sing of the ways of LORD, for great is the glory of LORD.

¹⁰ All thy works shall give thanks to thee, O LORD, and thy sanctified shall bless thee. ¹¹ They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power, ¹² to make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glory of the majesty of his kingdom.

⁹ and the Gentiles, for the sake of mercy, to glorify God, as it is written, Because of this I will give thanks to thee among Gentiles, and will sing to thy name.

⁹ And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you, ¹⁰ and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ark, even every beast of the earth. ¹¹ And I will establish my covenant with you. Neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of the flood, nor shall there be a flood any more to destroy the earth. ¹² And God said, This is the sign of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: ¹³ I set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between me and the earth. ¹⁴ And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud. ¹⁵ And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. ¹⁶ And the bow shall be in the cloud, and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. ¹⁷ And God said to Noah, This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

⁵ Thy loving kindness, O LORD, is in the heavens, thy faithfulness to the skies.

¹⁹ Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, thou who have done great things. O God, who is like thee?

¹⁰ Mercy and truth are met together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other. ¹¹ Truth springs out of the earth, and righteousness has looked down from heaven.

¹ I will sing of the loving kindness of LORD forever. With my mouth I will make known thy faithfulness to all generations. ² For I have said, Mercy shall be built up forever. Thy faithfulness thou will establish in the very heavens.

¹¹ For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.

⁴ For thy loving kindness is great above the heavens, and thy truth is to the skies.

⁷ For a small moment I have forsaken thee, but with great mercies I will gather thee. ⁸ In overflowing wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment, but with everlasting loving kindness I will have mercy on thee, says LORD thy Redeemer. ⁹ For this is as the waters of Noah to me. For as I have sworn that the waters of Noah shall no more go over the earth, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with thee, nor rebuke thee. ¹⁰ For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed, but my loving kindness shall not depart from thee, nor shall my covenant of peace be removed, says LORD who has mercy on thee.

¹⁷ By which God, wanting to demonstrate more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutableness of his resolve, confirmed it by an oath. ¹⁸ So that by two immutable events, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have strong encouragement, having fled for refuge to seize the hope being openly displayed.

⁹ O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

⁵ Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, thy glory above all the earth.

³ And they sing the song of Moses the bondman of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty, righteous and true are thy ways, thou King of the nations. ⁴ Who will, no, not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name, because thou alone are holy? Because all the nations will come and worship before thee, because thy righteous deeds were made known.
