¹⁵ Saying, “Touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm,”—

¹ Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the Lord, that greatly delighteth in his commandments. ² His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. ³ Plenty and riches shall be in his house, and his righteousness shall endure for ever.

¹⁰ The wicked shall see it, and be vexed; he will gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the longing of the wicked shall perish.

¹⁵ Blessed are ye of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

¹⁷ Unto thee will I offer the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and on the name of the Lord will I call.

⁵ From the midst of distress I called on the Lord; the Lord answered me with enlargement.

¹ A song of the degrees. Happy is every one that feareth the Lord, that walketh in his ways. ² When thou eatest the labor of thy hands: then wilt thou be happy, and it shall be well with thee. ³ Thy wife is then as a fruitful vine in the recesses of thy house: thy children, like olive-plants round about thy table. ⁴ Behold, truly thus shall be blessed the man that feareth the Lord. ⁵ May the Lord bless thee out of Zion: and see thou the happiness of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. ⁶ And see thou thy children’s children: may there be peace upon Israel.

¹³ May our garners be full, furnishing all manner of store: our sheep bringing forth thousands and ten thousands in our open pastures. ¹⁴ May our oxen be strong to labor: may there be no breach, nor migration, nor loud complaint in our streets.

⁴ If thou wilt seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures: ⁵ Then wilt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and the knowledge of God wilt thou find.

¹⁸ Thy fountain will be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth,— ¹⁹ The lovely gazelle and the graceful chamois: let her bosom satisfy thee abundantly at all times; with her love be thou ravished continually.

²⁹ So it is with him that goeth in to his neighbor’s wife: no one that toucheth her shall remain unpunished.

⁶ For through the window of my house, through my lattice did I once look out,

⁴ He becometh poor that laboreth with an indolent hand, but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

²² The blessing of the Lord it is which maketh rich, and painful labor addeth nothing thereto.

⁴ The sluggard longeth in his soul, and there cometh nothing; but the soul of the diligent will be abundantly gratified.

⁴ Fury hath its cruelty, and anger its overwhelming power; but who is able to stand before jealousy?

²⁵ The dread of man bringeth a snare; but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord will be upheld in safety.

⁴ Again, I beheld all the toil, and all the energy in doing, that it is from the envy of one man of his neighbor. Also this is vanity and a torture of the spirit.

⁹ Enjoy life with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which God hath given thee under the sun, yea, all the days of thy vanity; for this is thy portion in this life, and in thy toil with which thou toilest under the sun.

⁶ In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening let not thy hand rest; for thou knowest not which will succeed, whether this or that, or whether both of them will be alike good.

⁹ My friend is like a roebuck or the fawn of the hinds: behold, there he standeth behind our wall, looking in at the windows, seeing through the lattice.

¹⁵ A garden-spring, a well of living waters, and flowing down from Lebanon.—

² Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust him; for my strength and song is Yah the Eternal: and he is become my salvation.”

¹⁰ Fear thou not, for I am with thee; be not dismayed, for I am thy God; I strengthen thee, yea, I help thee, yea, I uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

¹³ For I the Lord thy God lay hold of thy right hand; I am he who saith unto thee, Fear not, I help thee. ¹⁴ Fear not, thou worm Jacob, ye few men of Israel: I myself help thee, saith the Lord, and thy redeemer is the Holy One of Israel. ¹⁵ Behold, I have rendered thee a threshing instrument, sharp, new, having many teeth: thou shalt thresh mountains, and beat them small, and shalt render the hills as chaff.

¹ But now thus hath said the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not; for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; mine art thou. ² Whenever thou passest through the waters, I am with thee; and through the rivers,—they shall not overflow thee: whenever thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be scorched; neither shall the flame burn on thee.

² Whenever thou passest through the waters, I am with thee; and through the rivers,—they shall not overflow thee: whenever thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be scorched; neither shall the flame burn on thee.

⁵ Fear not, for I am with thee; from the east will I bring thy seed, and from the west will I gather thee.

² Thus hath said the Lord thy Maker, and he that formed thee from the womb, who will help thee, Fear not, O my servant Jacob; and thou Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.

¹⁴ Thus hath said the Lord, The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and of the Sabeans, men of high stature, shall pass over unto thee, and thine shall they be: behind thee shall they walk; in chains shall they pass along, and unto thee shall they bow, unto thee shall they pray, saying Yea, only among thee is God; and there is no one else beside God.

⁷ Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, O people in whose heart my law is: ye must not fear the reproach of men, and of their revilings shall ye not be in dread.

¹² I, I am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldst be afraid of a mortal that must die, and of a son of man who will wither as the grass?

¹⁴ And then shall come unto thee bent down the sons of those who afflicted thee, and there shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet all thy revilers; and they shall call thee, The city of the Lord, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

⁶ But ye, ye shall be called, Priests of the Lord; Ministers of our God, shall be said unto you: the wealth of nations shall ye consume, and in their glory shall ye be placed as possessors.

⁹ And among the nations shall their seed be known, and their offspring in the midst of the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed whom the Lord hath blessed.

⁵ For as a young man espouseth a virgin, so shall thy sons espouse thee; and as the bridegroom is glad over the bride, so will be glad over thee thy God.

^{17 (2:19)} For I will remove the names of the Be’alim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be mentioned by their name.

²⁰ Thou wilt show faithfulness unto Jacob, and kindness unto Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers in the days of old.

^{8 (2:12)} For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, For the sake of your glory hath he sent me unto the nations that have despoiled you; for whoever toucheth you, toucheth the apple of his eye.

¹² For the seed shall be undisturbed; the vine shall give its fruit, and the ground shall give her production, and the heavens shall give their dew: and I will bestow on the remnant of this people all these things.

² And it shall come to pass on that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall not be remembered any more: and also the prophets and the unclean spirit will I remove out of the land.
