i1 [To the chief Musician. Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.] i0 par Only before God is my soul silent; from Him comes my salvation.

Then Joshua spoke to Jehovah in the day when Jehovah delivered up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, and he said in the eyes of Israel: Sun, stand still over Gibeon; and Moon, in the valley of Aijalon.

Then they said to him, What shall we do to you that the sea may be calm for us? For the sea was going on and being stormy.

Wait upon Jehovah; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, upon Jehovah!

i1 [To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.] i0 par I waited patiently for Jehovah, and He inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

Do not say, I will recompense evil; wait on Jehovah, and He will save you.

And I will wait on Jehovah, who hides His face from the house of Jacob; and I will watch for Him.

For thus says the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest you shall be saved; and in quietness and confidence shall be your strength. But you were not willing.

Jehovah is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.

It is good that one should hope for the salvation of Jehovah, even in silence.

For the vision is yet for the appointed time; it speaks forth to the end, and it does not lie. Though it delays, wait for it, because it will come and take place; it will not tarry.

And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not faint.

For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:

For yet a little while, and He who is coming will come and will not linger.

Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain.

Do not grumble against one another, brethren, that you not be condemned. Behold, the Judge stands at the door.

Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the endurance of Job and seen the outcome brought about by the Lord; that the Lord is very kind and merciful.

I will not reprove you for your sacrifices, or your burnt offerings, which are continually before Me.

For I was jealous of the boastful, when I saw the peace of the wicked.

They are not in trouble like other men; neither are they plagued like other men.

Their eyes bulge with fatness; they have more than the heart could imagine.

They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongues walk through the earth.

And they say, How does the Mighty God know? and, Is there knowledge in the Most High?

Surely I have made my heart pure in vain, and washed my hands in innocence.

Righteous are You, O Jehovah, when I complain to You; yet let me speak with You about Your judgments. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are all those who deceive with treachery at ease?

Why do the wicked live and become old, yea, and become mighty in power?

Their houses are at peace, without dread; neither is the rod of God upon them.

They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.

They spend their days in prosperity, and in a moment go down to Sheol.

Who is the Almighty, that we should serve Him? And what profit do we have if we entreat Him?

How often is the lamp of the wicked put out! How often does their calamity come upon them, the sorrows God distributes in His anger!

God treasures up one's iniquity for his children. He recompenses him, that he may know it.

For what is his delight in his house after him, when the number of his months has been cut off?

One dies in his full strength, being wholly secure and at ease;

Another man dies in the bitterness of his soul, never having eaten with pleasure.

Behold, I know your thoughts, and the plots with which you would do me wrong.

Have you not asked those who pass along the road? And do you not know their trademarks?

Who declares his way to his face? And who repays him for what he has done?

The clods of the valley shall be sweet to him; everyone shall drag along after him, as countless ones before him.

If you see the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, do not be astonished at the matter; for He who is higher than the highest watches; so there are those higher than they.

For he says, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am discerning. And I have removed the borders of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man.

And my hand has found, as a nest, the riches of the people; and as one gathers eggs that are left, I have gathered all the earth; and there was no one who moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.

And the king shall do according to his own will. And he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god; he shall even speak extraordinary things against the Mighty God of gods and shall prosper until the indignation is complete. For that which is decreed shall be done.

And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled at the beast.

And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months.

And it was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.

If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
