אֱלֹהִים Elohim

Behold, as the eyes of servants unto the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; So our eyes look unto the LORD our God, Until He be gracious unto us.

Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, In the courts of the house of our God.

For I know that the LORD is great, And that our Lord is above all gods.

O give thanks unto the God of gods, For His mercy endureth for ever.

O give thanks unto the God of gods, For His mercy endureth for ever.

[A Psalm] of David. I will give Thee thanks with my whole heart, In the presence of the mighty will I sing praises unto Thee.

O God, I will sing a new song unto Thee, Upon a psaltery of ten strings will I sing praises unto Thee;

Happy is the people that is in such a case. Yea, happy is the people whose God is the LORD.

I will praise the LORD while I live; I will sing praises unto my God while I have my being.

Happy is he whose help is the God of Jacob, Whose hope is in the LORD his God,

The LORD will reign for ever, Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Hallelujah.

Hallelujah; For it is good to sing praises unto our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is comely.

Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving, Sing praises upon the harp unto our God;

Glorify the LORD, O Jerusalem; Praise thy God, O Zion.

Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, And find the knowledge of God.

That forsaketh the lord of her youth, And forgetteth the covenant of her God.

So shalt thou find grace and good favour In the sight of God and man.

It is the glory of God to conceal a thing; but the glory of kings is to search out a matter.

Lest I be full, and deny, and say: ‘Who is the LORD?’ Or lest I be poor, and steal, And profane the name of my God.

THERE was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was whole-hearted and upright, and one that feared God, and shunned evil.

And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt-offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said: ‘It may be that my sons have sinned, and blasphemed God in their hearts.’ Thus did Job continually.

Now it fell upon a day, that the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

And the LORD said unto Satan: ‘Hast thou considered My servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a whole-hearted and an upright man, one that feareth God, and shunneth evil?’

Then Satan answered the LORD, and said: ‘Doth Job fear God for nought?

While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said: ‘A fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.’

For all this Job sinned not, nor ascribed aught unseemly to God.

Again it fell upon a day, that the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.

And the LORD said unto Satan: ‘Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a whole-hearted and an upright man, one that feareth God, and shunneth evil? and he still holdeth fast his integrity, although thou didst move Me against him, to destroy him without cause.’

Then said his wife unto him: ‘Dost thou still hold fast thine integrity? blaspheme God, and die.’

But he said unto her: ‘Thou speakest as one of the impious women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?’ For all this did not Job sin with his lips.

But as for me, I would seek unto God, And unto God would I commit my cause;

This is the portion of a wicked man from God, And the heritage appointed unto him by God.

God understandeth the way thereof, And He knoweth the place thereof.

Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram; against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.

For he hath said: ‘It profiteth a man nothing That he should be in accord with God.’

When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy?

And she said: ‘Behold, thy sister-in-law is gone back unto her people, and unto her god; return thou after thy sister-in-law.’

And Ruth said: ‘Entreat me not to leave thee, and to return from following after thee; for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God;

And Ruth said: ‘Entreat me not to leave thee, and to return from following after thee; for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God;

The LORD recompense thy work, and be thy reward complete from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to take refuge.’

And I applied my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven; it is a sore task that God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith.

There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy pleasure for his labour. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God.

For to the man that is good in His sight He giveth wisdom, and knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner He giveth the task, to gather and to heap up, that he may leave to him that is good in the sight of God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

I have seen the task which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith.

He hath made every thing beautiful in its time; also He hath set the world in their heart, yet so that man cannot find out the work that God hath done from the beginning even to the end.

But also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy pleasure for all his labour, is the gift of God.

I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever; nothing can be added to it, nor any thing taken from it; and God hath so made it, that men should fear before Him.

I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever; nothing can be added to it, nor any thing taken from it; and God hath so made it, that men should fear before Him.

That which is hath been long ago, and that which is to be hath already been; and God seeketh that which is pursued.

I said in my heart: ‘The righteous and the wicked God will judge; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.’
