Job 41

Amplified Bible, 2015 (AMP)

Switch Version:

¹ You made men (charioteers)[2] ride over our heads [in defeat]; We went through fire and through water, Yet You brought us out into a [broad] place of abundance [to be refreshed].

² I shall come into Your house with burnt offerings; I shall pay You my vows,

³ Which my lips uttered And my mouth spoke as a promise when I was in distress.

⁴ I shall offer to You burnt offerings of fat lambs, With the [sweet] smoke of rams; I will offer bulls with male goats. Selah.

⁵ Come and hear, all who fear God [and worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and obedience], And I will tell what He has done for me.

⁶ I cried aloud to Him; He was highly praised with my tongue.

⁷ If I regard sin and baseness in my heart [that is, if I know it is there and do nothing about it], The Lord will not hear [me];

⁸ But certainly God has heard [me]; He has given heed to the voice of my prayer.

⁹ Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer Nor His lovingkindness from me.

¹⁰ To the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm. A Song. God be gracious and kind-hearted to us and bless us, And make His face shine [with favor] on us— Selah.

¹¹ That Your way may be known on earth, Your salvation and deliverance among all nations.

¹² Let the[1] peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You.

¹³ Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, For You will judge the people fairly And guide the nations on earth. Selah.

¹⁴ Let the peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You.

¹⁵ The earth has yielded its harvest [as evidence of His approval]; God, our God, blesses us.

¹⁶ God blesses us, And all the ends of the earth shall fear Him [with awe-inspired reverence and submissive wonder].

¹⁷ To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A Song. Let God arise, and His enemies be scattered; Let those who hate Him flee before Him.

¹⁸ As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; As wax melts before the fire, So let the wicked and guilty perish before [the presence of] God.

¹⁹ But let the righteous be glad; let them be in good spirits before God, Yes, let them rejoice with delight.

²⁰ Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Lift up a song for Him who rides through the desert— His name is the LORD—be in good spirits before Him.

²¹ A father of the fatherless and a judge and protector of the widows, Is God in His holy habitation.

²² God makes a home for the lonely; He leads the prisoners into prosperity, Only the stubborn and rebellious dwell in a parched land.

²³ O God, when You went out before Your people, When You marched through the wilderness, Selah.

²⁴ The earth trembled; The heavens also poured down rain at the presence of God; Sinai itself trembled at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

²⁵ You, O God, sent abroad plentiful rain; You confirmed Your inheritance when it was parched and weary.

²⁶ Your flock found a dwelling place in it; O God, in Your goodness You provided for the poor.

²⁷ The Lord gives the command [to take Canaan]; The women who proclaim the good news are a great host (army);

²⁸ "The kings of the [enemies'] armies flee, they flee, And the beautiful woman who remains at home divides the spoil [left behind]."

²⁹ When you lie down [to rest] among the[1] sheepfolds, You [Israel] are like the wings of a dove [of victory] overlaid with silver, Its feathers glistening with gold [trophies taken from the enemy].

³⁰ When the Almighty scattered [the Canaanite] kings in the land of Canaan, It was snowing on[2] Zalmon.

³¹ A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; A [high] mountain of many summits is Mount Bashan [rising east of the Jordan].

³² Why do you look with envy, mountains with many peaks, At the mountain [of the city of Zion] which God has desired for His dwelling place? Yes, the LORD will dwell there forever.

³³ The chariots of God are[3] myriads, thousands upon thousands; The Lord is among them as He was at Sinai, in holiness.

³⁴ You have ascended on high, You have led away captive Your captives; You have received gifts among men, Even from the rebellious also, that the LORD God may dwell there.
