The brook of Kishon swept them away, the ancient brook, the brook Kishon: my mighty soul will trample him down.

Why are you downcast, O my soul? And why do you trouble me? Hope in God; for I will give thanks to Him; [He is] the salvation of my countenance.

Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why do you trouble me? Hope in God; for I will give thanks to Him; [He is] the health of my countenance, and my God.

Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why do you trouble me? Hope in God; for I will give thanks to Him, [who is] the health of my countenance, [and] my God.

[A Psalm] of David. Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all [that is] within me, [bless] His holy name.

I am pained in my bowels, my bowels, and the sensitive powers of my heart. My soul is in great commotion, my heart is torn. I will not be silent, for my soul has heard the sound of a trumpet, the cry of war, and of distress: it calls on destruction.

And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid away for many years; relax; eat, drink, and be merry."'

And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, You have made me hateful so that I should be evil to all the inhabitants of the land, both among the Canaanites and the Perizzites, and I am few in number; they will gather themselves against me and cut me in pieces, and I shall be utterly destroyed, and my house.

Judge them, O God; let them fail of their counsels: cast them out according to the abundance of their ungodliness; for they have provoked You, O Lord.

I have not sat with the council of vanity, and shall by no means enter in with transgressors.

I have hated the assembly of evildoers; and will not sit with the ungodly.

Draw not away my soul with sinners, and destroy me not with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbors, but evil are in their hearts.

Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with You, which frames mischief by an ordinance?

They will hunt for the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.

Oh that You would slay the wicked, O God. Depart from me, you men of blood!

If they should exhort you, saying, Come with us, partake in blood, and let us unjustly hide the just man in the earth:

go not in the way with them, let your foot turn aside from their paths:

[This translation omits this verse.]

The thoughts of the righteous [are true] judgments, but ungodly men devise deceits.

Cursed is he that attacks his neighbor secretly. And all the people shall say, So be it.

Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly, nor my life with bloody men;

You have sheltered me from the conspiracy of them that do wickedly; from the multitude of them that work iniquity;

I have not sat in the assembly of them as they mocked, but I feared because of Your power. I sat alone, for I was filled with bitterness.

Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has not stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of evil men.

Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly, nor my life with bloody men;

Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with You, which frames mischief by an ordinance?

Do not become unequally yoked with unbelievers; for what participation is there for righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion is there for light with darkness?

Therefore my heart rejoiced and my tongue exalted; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:

that my glory may sing praise to You, and I may not be pierced [with sorrow]. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.

Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake early.

And it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, that the two sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each man took his sword, and came upon the city securely, and killed every male.

And they killed Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of the house of Shechem, and went forth.

And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, You have made me hateful so that I should be evil to all the inhabitants of the land, both among the Canaanites and the Perizzites, and I am few in number; they will gather themselves against me and cut me in pieces, and I shall be utterly destroyed, and my house.
