Show us favor, O Lord, show us favor! For we have had our fill of humiliation, and then some.

I yearn for the Lord, more than watchmen do for the morning, yes, more than watchmen do for the morning.

Then they will call to me, but I will not answer; they will diligently seek me, but they will not find me.

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

A person is praised in accordance with his wisdom, but the one who has a twisted mind is despised.

The wisdom of the shrewd person is to discern his way, but the folly of fools is deception.

The one who forgives an offense seeks love, but whoever repeats a matter separates close friends.

The one who loves a quarrel loves transgression; whoever builds his gate high seeks destruction.

Wisdom is directly in front of the discerning person, but the eyes of a fool run to the ends of the earth.

The discerning person acquires knowledge, and the wise person seeks knowledge.

The Righteous One considers the house of the wicked; he overthrows the wicked to their ruin.

As in water the face is reflected as a face, so a person’s heart reflects the person.
