Job Chapter 5 (AMP)

Compare with Version:

¹ "Let us break apart their [divine] bands [of restraint] And cast away their cords [of control] from us."

² He who sits [enthroned] in the heavens laughs [at their rebellion]; The [Sovereign][3] Lord scoffs at them [and in supreme contempt He mocks them].

³ Then He will speak to them in His [profound] anger And terrify them with His displeasure, saying,

⁴ "Yet as for Me, I have anointed and firmly installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain."

⁵ "I will declare the decree of the LORD: He said to Me, 'You are My Son; This day [I proclaim] I have begotten You.

⁶ 'Ask of Me, and I will assuredly give [You] the nations as Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth as Your possession.

⁷ 'You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall shatter them [in pieces] like earthenware.'"

⁸ Now therefore, O kings, act wisely; Be instructed and take warning, O leaders (judges, rulers) of the earth.

⁹ Worship the LORD and serve Him with reverence [with awe-inspired fear and submissive wonder]; Rejoice [yet do so] with trembling.

¹⁰ Kiss (pay respect to) the[4] Son, so that He does not become angry, and you perish in the way, For His wrath may soon be kindled and set aflame. How blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] are all those who take refuge in Him!

¹¹ A Psalm of David. When he fled from Absalom his son. O LORD, how my enemies have increased! Many are rising up against me.

¹² Many are saying of me, "There is no help [no salvation] for him in God."[1] Selah.

¹³ But You, O LORD, are a shield for me, My glory [and my honor], and the One who lifts my head.

¹⁴ With my voice I was crying to the LORD, And He answered me from His holy mountain. Selah.

¹⁵ I lay down and slept [safely]; I awakened, for the LORD sustains me.

¹⁶ I will not be intimidated or afraid of the ten thousands Who have set themselves against me all around.

¹⁷ Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God! For You have struck all my enemies on the cheek; You have shattered the teeth of the wicked.

¹⁸ Salvation belongs to the LORD; May Your blessing be upon Your people. Selah.

¹⁹ To the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have freed me when I was hemmed in and relieved me when I was in distress; Be gracious to me and hear [and respond to] my prayer.

²⁰ O sons of men, how long will my honor and glory be [turned into] shame? How long will you [my enemies] love worthless (vain, futile) things and seek deception and lies? Selah.

²¹ But know that the LORD has set apart for Himself [and dealt wonderfully with] the godly man [the one of honorable character and moral courage—the one who does right]. The LORD hears and responds when I call to Him.

²² Tremble [with anger or fear], and do not sin; Meditate in your heart upon your bed and be still [reflect on your sin and repent of your rebellion]. Selah.

²³ Offer righteous sacrifices; Trust [confidently] in the LORD.

²⁴ Many are saying, "Oh, that we might see some good!" Lift up the light of Your face upon us, O LORD.

²⁵ You have put joy in my heart, More than [others know] when their wheat and new wine have yielded abundantly.

²⁶ In peace [and with a tranquil heart] I will both lie down and sleep, For You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety and confident trust.

²⁷ To the Chief Musician; on wind instruments. A Psalm of David. Listen to my words, O LORD, Consider my groaning and sighing.
