Who prepares prey for the raven, when its young cry out to God and wander about for lack of food?

Is it not fierce when it is awakened? Who is he, then, who can stand before it?

(Who has confronted me that I should repay? Everything under heaven belongs to me!)

Many say, “Who can show us anything good?” Smile upon us, Lord!

For no one remembers you in the realm of death, In Sheol who gives you thanks?

They say, “We speak persuasively; we know how to flatter and boast. Who is our master?”

Who is this majestic king? The Lord who is strong and mighty! The Lord who is mighty in battle!

Who is this majestic king? The Lord who commands armies! He is the majestic king! (Selah)

Do you want to really live? Would you love to live a long, happy life?

I say, “I wish I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and settle in a safe place!

Look, they hurl insults at me and openly threaten to kill me, for they say, “Who hears?”

They encourage one another to carry out their evil deed. They plan how to hide snares, and boast, “Who will see them?”

Your justice, O God, extends to the skies above; you have done great things. O God, who can compare to you?

You are awesome! Yes, you! Who can withstand your intense anger?

For who in the skies can compare to the Lord? Who is like the Lord among the heavenly beings,

O Lord, sovereign God! Who is strong like you, O Lord? Your faithfulness surrounds you.

No man can live on without experiencing death, or deliver his life from the power of Sheol. (Selah)

Many people profess their loyalty, but a faithful person – who can find?

lest I become satisfied and act deceptively and say, “Who is the Lord?” Or lest I become poor and steal and demean the name of my God.

Consider the work of God: For who can make straight what he has bent?
