American Standard Version (1901). Public domain.

CallH7121 now; isH3426 there any that will answerH6030 thee? And to which of the holyH6918 ones wilt thou turnH6437? For vexationH3708 killethH2026 the foolish manH191, And jealousyH7068 slayethH4191 the silly oneH6601. I have seenH7200 the foolishH191 taking rootH8327: But suddenlyH6597 I cursedH5344 his habitationH5116. His childrenH1121 are farH7368 from safetyH3468, And they are crushedH1792 in the gateH8179, Neither is there any to deliverH5337 them: Whose harvestH7105 the hungryH7457 eateth upH398, And takethH3947 it even outH413 of the thornsH6791; And the snareH6782 gapethH7602 for their substanceH2428. For afflictionH205 cometh not forthH3318 from the dustH6083, Neither doth troubleH5999 spring outH6779 of the groundH127; But manH120 is bornH3205 unto troubleH5999, As the sparksH1121 flyH5774 upwardH1361. But as for me, I would seekH199 unto GodH410, And unto GodH430 would I commitH7760 my causeH1700; Who doethH6213 great thingsH1419 and unsearchableH369, Marvellous thingsH6381 without numberH4557: Who givethH5414 rainH4306 uponH6440 the earthH776, And sendethH7971 watersH4325 uponH6440 the fieldsH2351; So that he setteth upH7760 on highH4791 those that are lowH8217, And those that mournH6937 are exaltedH7682 to safetyH3468. He frustratethH6565 the devicesH4284 of the craftyH6175, So that their handsH3027 cannot performH6213 their enterpriseH8454. He takethH3920 the wiseH2450 in their own craftinessH6193; And the counselH6098 of the cunningH6617 is carried headlongH4116. They meetH6298 with darknessH2822 in the day-timeH3119, And gropeH4959 at noondayH6672 as in the nightH3915. But he savethH3467 from the swordH2719 of their mouthH6310, Even the needyH34 from the handH3027 of the mightyH2389. So the poorH1800 hath hopeH8615, And iniquityH5766 stoppethH7092 her mouthH6310. Behold, happyH835 is the manH582 whom GodH433 correctethH3198: Therefore despiseH3988 not thou the chasteningH4148 of the AlmightyH7706. For he maketh soreH3510, and bindeth upH2280; He woundethH4272, and his handsH3027 make wholeH7495. He will deliverH5337 thee in sixH8337 troublesH6869; Yea, in sevenH7651 there shall no evilH7451 touchH5060 thee. In famineH7458 he will redeemH6299 thee from deathH4194; And in warH4421 from the powerH3027 of the swordH2719. Thou shalt be hidH2244 from the scourgeH7752 of the tongueH3956; Neither shalt thou be afraidH3372 of destructionH7701 when it comethH935. At destructionH7701 and dearthH3720 thou shalt laughH7832; Neither shalt thou be afraidH3372 of the beastsH2416 of the earthH776. For thou shalt be in leagueH1285 with the stonesH68 of the fieldH7704; And the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 shall be at peaceH7999 with thee. And thou shalt knowH3045 that thy tentH168 is in peaceH7965; And thou shalt visitH6485 thy foldH5116, and shalt missH2398 nothing. Thou shalt knowH3045 also that thy seedH2233 shall be greatH7227, And thine offspringH6631 as the grassH6212 of the earthH776. Thou shalt comeH935 to thy graveH6913 in a full ageH3624, Like as a shock of grainH1430 cometh inH5927 in its seasonH6256. Lo this, we have searchedH2713 it, so it is; HearH8085 it, and knowH3045 thou it for thy good.
