A slanderer will not endure on the earth; calamity will hunt down a violent man and strike him down.

He sent a man ahead of them – Joseph was sold as a servant.

Man ate the food of the mighty ones. He sent them more than enough to eat.

It goes well for the one who generously lends money, and conducts his business honestly.

You men, how long will you try to turn my honor into shame? How long will you love what is worthless and search for what is deceptive? (Selah)

You destroy liars; the Lord despises violent and deceitful people.

People lie to one another; they flatter and deceive.

But I am a worm, not a man; people insult me and despise me.

You hide them with you, where they are safe from the attacks of men; you conceal them in a shelter, where they are safe from slanderous attacks.

Even my close friend whom I trusted, he who shared meals with me, has turned against me.

Pay attention, all you people, both rich and poor!

Certainly a man cannot rescue his brother; he cannot pay God an adequate ransom price

Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich and his wealth multiplies!

How long will you threaten a man? All of you are murderers, as dangerous as a leaning wall or an unstable fence.

They devise unjust schemes; they disguise a well-conceived plot. Man’s inner thoughts cannot be discovered.

May you give support to the one you have chosen, to the one whom you raised up for yourself!

But it is said of Zion’s residents, “Each one of these was born in her, and the sovereign One makes her secure.”

A prayer of Moses, the man of God. O Lord, you have been our protector through all generations!

The spiritually insensitive do not recognize this; the fool does not understand this.

Praise the Lord! How blessed is the one who obeys the Lord, who takes great delight in keeping his commands.
