“How long will you speak these things, seeing that the words of your mouth are like a great wind?

For we were born yesterday and do not have knowledge, since our days on earth are but a shadow.

If I lift myself up, you hunt me as a fierce lion, and again you display your power against me.

Surely I would wear it proudly on my shoulder, I would bind it on me like a crown;

He brought me out into a wide open place; he delivered me because he was pleased with me.

For my sins overwhelm me; like a heavy load, they are too much for me to bear.

They are like a dream after one wakes up. O Lord, when you awake you will despise them.

They were unfaithful and acted as treacherously as their ancestors; they were as unreliable as a malfunctioning bow.

But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and merciful God. You are patient and demonstrate great loyal love and faithfulness.

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

They will lift you up in their hands, so you will not slip and fall on a stone.

As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on his faithful followers.

I have wandered off like a lost sheep. Come looking for your servant, for I do not forget your commands.

Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song! Praise him in the assembly of the godly!

He stores up effective counsel for the upright, and is like a shield for those who live with integrity,

For the Lord disciplines those he loves, just as a father disciplines the son in whom he delights.

People do not despise a thief when he steals to fulfill his need when he is hungry.

The fruit of the righteous is like a tree producing life, and the one who wins souls is wise.

The way of a fool is right in his own opinion, but the one who listens to advice is wise.

In the fear of the Lord one has strong confidence, and it will be a refuge for his children.
