Establish Your word to Your servant, to produce reverence for You.

Abundant peace belongs to those who love Your law; nothing can make them stumble.

Too long have I dwelt among those who hate peace.

I am in favor of peace; but when I speak, they want war.

A song of ascents. Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion. It cannot be moved; it abides forever.

But those who turn to crooked ways the LORD will banish with the evildoers. Peace be upon Israel.

In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for bread to eat—for He gives sleep to His beloved.

A song of ascents. Of David. Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!

Because you refused my call, and no one took my outstretched hand,

because you neglected all my counsel, and wanted none of my correction,

in turn I will mock your calamity; I will sneer when terror strikes you,

when your dread comes like a storm, and your destruction like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish overwhelm you.

Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who acquires understanding,

for she is more profitable than silver, and her gain is better than fine gold.

She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire compares with her.

Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.

All her ways are pleasant, and all her paths are peaceful.

She is a tree of life to those who embrace her, and those who lay hold of her are blessed.

What the wicked man dreads will overtake him, but the desire of the righteous will be granted.

Deceit is in the hearts of those who devise evil, but the counselors of peace have joy.

He who despises instruction will pay the penalty, but the one who respects a command will be rewarded.

The backslider in heart receives the fill of his own ways, but a good man is rewarded for his ways.

Better a dish of vegetables where there is love than a fattened ox with hatred.

Commit your works to the LORD and your plans will be achieved.

When a man’s ways please the LORD, He makes even the man’s enemies live at peace with him.
