Lord, you have heard the request of the oppressed; you make them feel secure because you listen to their prayer.

What the righteous desire leads only to good, but what the wicked hope for leads to wrath.

What is desirable for a person is to show loyal love, and a poor person is better than a liar.

What the sluggard desires will kill him, for his hands refuse to work.

Yes, the wicked man boasts because he gets what he wants; the one who robs others curses and rejects the Lord.

You grant him his heart’s desire; you do not refuse his request. (Selah)

When the wicked see this, they will worry; they will grind their teeth in frustration and melt away; the desire of the wicked will perish.

Yes, as your judgments unfold, O Lord, we wait for you. We desire your fame and reputation to grow.

The blessings of your father are greater than the blessings of the eternal mountains or the desirable things of the age-old hills. They will be on the head of Joseph and on the brow of the prince of his brothers.
