Job 16

Amplified Bible, 2015 (AMP)

Switch Version:

¹ They will come and declare His righteousness To a people yet to be born—that He has done it [and that it is finished].

² A Psalm of David. The LORD is my Shepherd [to feed, to guide and to shield me], I shall not want.

³ He lets me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still and quiet waters.

⁴ He refreshes and restores my soul (life); He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.

⁵ Even though I walk through the [sunless][1] valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort and console me.

⁶ You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You have anointed and refreshed my head with[2] oil; My cup overflows.

⁷ Surely goodness and mercy and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, And I shall dwell forever [throughout all my days] in the house and in the presence of the LORD.

⁸ [1] A Psalm of David. The earth[2] is the Lord's, and the fullness of it, The world, and those who dwell in it.

⁹ For He has founded it upon the seas And established it upon the streams and the rivers.

¹⁰ Who may ascend onto the[3] mountain of the LORD? And who may stand in His holy place?

¹¹ He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to what is false, Nor has sworn [oaths] deceitfully.

¹² He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, And righteousness from the God of his salvation.

¹³ This is the generation (description) of those who diligently seek Him and require Him as their greatest need, Who seek Your face, even [as did] Jacob. Selah.

¹⁴ Lift up your heads, O gates, And be lifted up, ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in.

¹⁵ Who is the King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, The LORD mighty in battle.

¹⁶ Lift up your heads, O gates, And lift them up, ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in.

¹⁷ Who is [He then] this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory [who rules over all creation with His heavenly armies]. Selah.

¹⁸ A Psalm of David. To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul.

¹⁹ O my God, in You I [have unwavering] trust [and I rely on You with steadfast confidence], Do not let me be ashamed or my hope in You be disappointed; Do not let my enemies triumph over me.

²⁰ Indeed, none of those who [expectantly] wait for You will be ashamed; Those who turn away from what is right and deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed (humiliated, embarrassed).

²¹ Let me know Your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths.

²² Guide me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; For You [and only You] I wait [expectantly] all the day long.
