Job 19

Amplified Bible, 2015 (AMP)

Switch Version:

¹ Do not hide Your face from me, Do not turn Your servant away in anger; You have been my help; Do not abandon me nor[1] leave me, O God of my salvation!

² Although my father and my mother have abandoned me, Yet the LORD will take me up [adopt me as His child].

³ Teach me Your way, O LORD, And lead me on a level path Because of my enemies [who lie in wait].

⁴ Do not give me up to the will of my adversaries, For false witnesses have come against me; They breathe out violence.

⁵ I would have despaired had I not believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living.

⁶ Wait for and confidently expect the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for and confidently expect the LORD.

⁷ A Psalm of David. To you I call, O LORD, My rock, do not be deaf to me, For if You are silent to me, I will become like those who go down to the pit (grave).

⁸ Hear the voice of my supplication (specific requests, humble entreaties) as I cry to You for help, As I lift up my hands and heart toward Your innermost sanctuary (Holy of Holies).

⁹ Do not drag me away with the wicked And with those who do evil, Who speak peace with their neighbors, While malice and mischief are in their hearts.

¹⁰ Repay them according to their work and according to the evil of their practices; Repay them according to the deeds of their hands; Repay them what they deserve.

¹¹ Because they have no regard for the works of the LORD Nor the deeds of His hands, He will tear them down and not rebuild them.

¹² Blessed be the LORD, Because He has heard the voice of my supplication.

¹³ The LORD is my strength and my [impenetrable] shield; My heart trusts [with unwavering confidence] in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I shall thank Him and praise Him.

¹⁴ The LORD is their [unyielding] strength, And He is the fortress of salvation to His anointed.

¹⁵ Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; Be their shepherd also, and carry them forever.

¹⁶ A Psalm of David. [1] Ascribe to the LORD, O[2] sons of the mighty, Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

¹⁷ Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; Worship the LORD in the beauty and majesty of His holiness [as the creator and source of holiness].

¹⁸ The voice of the LORD is upon the waters; The God of glory thunders; The LORD is over many waters.

¹⁹ The voice of the LORD is powerful; The voice of the LORD is full of majesty.

²⁰ The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; Yes, the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

²¹ He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, And Sirion (Mount Hermon) like a young, wild ox.

²² The voice of the LORD rakes flames of fire (lightning).

²³ The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; The LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

²⁴ The voice of the LORD[3] makes the doe labor and give birth And strips the forests bare; And in His temple all are saying, "Glory!"

²⁵ The LORD sat as King at the flood; Yes, the LORD sits as King forever.

²⁶ The LORD will give [unyielding and impenetrable] strength to His people; The LORD will bless His people with peace.

²⁷ A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House (Temple). A Psalm of David. I will extol and praise You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up, And have not let my enemies rejoice over me.

²⁸ O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You have healed me.

²⁹ O LORD, You have brought my life up from Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead); You have kept me alive, so that I would not go down to the pit (grave).
