Psalms 1:4-6

Epilogue

7After the Lord had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “I am angry with you and your two friends, because you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.8So now take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. You have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.”9So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite did what the Lord told them; and the Lord accepted Job's prayer.

10After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord made him prosperous again and gave him twice as much as he had before.11All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before came and ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over all the trouble the Lord had brought upon him, and each one gave him a piece of silverHebrew him a kesitah; a kesitah was a unit of money of unknown weight and value. and a gold ring.

12The Lord blessed the latter part of Job's life more than the first. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys.13And he also had seven sons and three daughters.14The first daughter he named Jemimah, the second Keziah and the third Keren-Happuch.15Nowhere in all the land were there found women as beautiful as Job's daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers.

16After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.17And so he died, old and full of years.

BOOK I

Psalms 1-41

Psalm 1

1Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners
or sit in the seat of mockers.

2But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.

3He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.

4Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff
that the wind blows away.

5Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.

Psalm 2

1Why do the nations conspireHebrew; Septuagint rage
and the peoples plot in vain?

2The kings of the earth take their stand
and the rulers gather together
against the LORD
and against his Anointed One.Or anointed one

3“Let us break their chains,” they say,
“and throw off their fetters.”

4The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.

5Then he rebukes them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,

6“I have installed my KingOr king
on Zion, my holy hill.”

7I will proclaim the decree of the LORD:
He said to me, “You are my SonOr son; also in verse 12;
today I have become your Father.Or have begotten you

8Ask of me,
and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.

9You will rule them with an iron scepterOr will break them with a rod of iron;
you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”

10Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.

11Serve the LORD with fear
and rejoice with trembling.

12Kiss the Son, lest he be angry
and you be destroyed in your way,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

God does not bless the path of sinners and Jesus will not be at there defense on Judgment Day.
