Psalms 115:17

So that with good courage we say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

Cast your burden on Yahweh and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

A man’s steps are established by Yahweh. He delights in his way.

For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol, who shall give you thanks?

Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed. They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.

for Yahweh will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being taken.

He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor plan, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where you are going.

but the children of the Kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Yahweh, died, being one hundred ten years old.

Let me not be disappointed, Yahweh, for I have called on you. Let the wicked be disappointed. Let them be silent in Sheol.

My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me.

But as for me, my feet were almost gone. My steps had nearly slipped.

Establish my footsteps in your word. Don’t let any iniquity have dominion over me.

Though men may rise up to pursue you, and to seek your soul, yet the soul of my lord will be bound in the bundle of life with Yahweh your God. He will sling out the souls of your enemies, as from the hollow of a sling.

You will know that your tent is in peace. You will visit your fold, and will miss nothing.

“The departed spirits tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.

Behold, and answer me, Yahweh, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

They looked to him, and were radiant. Their faces shall never be covered with shame.

Let those who seek after my soul be disappointed and brought to dishonor. Let those who plot my ruin be turned back and confounded.

Let them be disappointed and confounded together who rejoice at my calamity. Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me.

For Yahweh loves justice, and doesn’t forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.

When I said, “My foot is slipping!” Your loving kindness, Yahweh, held me up.

You who love Yahweh, hate evil! He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.

You pushed me back hard, to make me fall, but Yahweh helped me.

Let my soul live, that I may praise you. Let your ordinances help me.

If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say,

All his days he also eats in darkness, he is frustrated, and has sickness and wrath.

I, Yahweh, am its keeper. I will water it every moment. Lest anyone damage it, I will keep it night and day.

But Yahweh is with me as an awesome mighty one. Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and they won’t prevail. They will be utterly disappointed, because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which will never be forgotten.

Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

“What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?

As for me, I said in my haste, “I am cut off from before your eyes.” Nevertheless you heard the voice of my petitions when I cried to you.
