Page 3 / 4 (Psa 119:97–Isa 48:14)
You remove all the wicked on earth
as if they were[fn] dross from metal;
therefore, I love your decrees.
Turn to me and be gracious to me,
as is your practice toward those who love your name.
Consider how I love your precepts;
LORD, give me life according to your faithful love.
Abundant peace belongs to those
who love your instruction;
nothing makes them stumble.
The LORD opens the eyes of the blind.
The LORD raises up those who are oppressed.[fn]
The LORD loves the righteous.
“How long, inexperienced ones, will you love ignorance?
How long will you mockers enjoy mocking
and you fools hate knowledge?
for the LORD disciplines the one he loves,
just as a father disciplines the son in whom he delights.
The one who will not use the rod hates his son,
but the one who loves him disciplines him diligently.
The LORD detests the way of the wicked,
but he loves the one who pursues righteousness.
One who loves to offend loves strife;
one who builds a high threshold invites injury.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
and those who love it will eat its fruit.
One with many friends may be harmed,[fn]
but there is a friend who stays closer than a brother.
The one who acquires good sense[fn] loves himself;
one who safeguards understanding finds success.
Don’t love sleep, or you will become poor;
open your eyes, and you’ll have enough to eat.
The one who loves pleasure will become poor;
whoever loves wine and oil will not get rich.
A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father,
but one who consorts with prostitutes destroys his wealth.
The one who loves silver is never satisfied with silver, and whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with income. This too is futile.
Enjoy life with the wife you love all the days of your fleeting[fn] life, which has been given to you under the sun, all your fleeting days. For that is your portion in life and in your struggle under the sun.
The fragrance of your perfume is intoxicating;
your name is perfume poured out.
No wonder young women[fn] adore you.
Take me with you — let’s hurry.
Oh, that the king would bring[fn] me to his chambers.
We will rejoice and be glad in you;
we will celebrate your caresses more than wine.
It is only right that they adore you.
Tell me, you whom I love:
Where do you pasture your sheep?
Where do you let them rest at noon?
Why should I be like one who veils herself[fn]
beside the flocks of your companions?
I will arise now and go about the city,
through the streets and the plazas.
I will seek the one I love.
I sought him, but did not find him.
The guards who go about the city found me.
I asked them, “Have you seen the one I love? ”
I had just passed them
when I found the one I love.
I held on to him and would not let him go
until I brought him to my mother’s house —
to the chamber of the one who conceived me.
Your rulers are rebels,
friends of thieves.
They all love graft
and chase after bribes.
They do not defend the rights of the fatherless,
and the widow’s case never comes before them.
But you, Israel, my servant,
Jacob, whom I have chosen,
descendant of Abraham, my friend —
“Because you are precious in my sight
and honored, and I love you,
I will give people in exchange for you
and nations instead of your life.
3. Psa 119:97–Isa 48:14
