If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up; if you remove wicked behavior far from your tent,

Surely then you will delight yourself in the Almighty, and will lift up your face toward God.

“Why are times not appointed by the Almighty? Why do those who know him not see his days?

“As surely as God lives, who has denied me justice, the Almighty, who has made my life bitter –

I will teach you about the power of God; What is on the Almighty’s mind I will not conceal.

This is the portion of the wicked man allotted by God, the inheritance that evildoers receive from the Almighty.

What then would be one’s lot from God above, one’s heritage from the Almighty on high?

But it is a spirit in people, the breath of the Almighty, that makes them understand.

The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.

Surely it is an empty cry – God does not hear it; the Almighty does not take notice of it.

As for the Almighty, we cannot attain to him! He is great in power, but justice and abundant righteousness he does not oppress.

“Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let the person who accuses God give him an answer!”

Adorn yourself, then, with majesty and excellency, and clothe yourself with glory and honor!

Doing wickedness is an abomination to kings, because a throne is established in righteousness.

When the righteous become numerous, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.

I considered all the living who walk on earth, as well as the successor who would arise in his place.

“‘As for you, profane and wicked prince of Israel, whose day has come, the time of final punishment,

I will execute judgments against Moab. Then they will know that I am the Lord.’”

I will execute judgments on Egypt. Then they will know that I am the Lord.’”

I, the Lord, will be their God, and my servant David will be prince among them; I, the Lord, have spoken!
