Jehovah, You have heard the desire of the lowly; You will prepare their heart, You will cause Your ear to hear,

One thing I have desired from Jehovah, that I will seek after: That I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Jehovah, and to inquire in His temple.

Delight yourself also in Jehovah, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.

And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in You.

Deliver me from all my transgressions; make me not the reproach of the foolish.

O that my ways were fixed to keep Your Statutes!

With my whole heart have I sought You; O let me not wander from Your Commandments!

With my soul I have desired You in the night; yea, with my spirit within me I will seek You early; for when Your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

As for me, I have not hurried away from being a shepherd who follows You; nor have I desired the woeful day; You surely know the going forth of my lips before Your face.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.

In the death of a wicked man, his expectation shall perish, and the hope of the wicked shall perish.

The hope of the righteous is gladness, but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.

but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness; anger and wrath,

trouble and anguish, on every soul of man who produces evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek;

but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour those who oppose.
