Psalms 76:9

But the humble shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.

The humble also will increase their joy in Yahweh, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

Yahweh, your God, is among you, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will calm you in his love. He will rejoice over you with singing.

but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

His soul will dwell at ease. His offspring will inherit the land.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.

For I delight in God’s law after the inward man,

But Yahweh said to Samuel, “Don’t look on his face, or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for I don’t see as man sees. For man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart.”

By the breath of God they perish. By the blast of his anger are they consumed.

They have gaped on me with their mouth. They have struck me on the cheek reproachfully. They gather themselves together against me.

Break their teeth, God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, Yahweh.

There is a generation whose teeth are like swords, and their jaws like knives, to devour the poor from the earth, and the needy from among men.

He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”

For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked. You have grown fat. You have grown thick. You have become sleek. Then he abandoned God who made him, and rejected the Rock of his salvation.

Let those who favor my righteous cause shout for joy and be glad. Yes, let them say continually, “May Yahweh be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant!”

For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.

I will also clothe her priests with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.

If only you, God, would kill the wicked. Get away from me, you bloodthirsty men!

Yahweh takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his loving kindness.

Your princes are rebellious and companions of thieves. Everyone loves bribes and follows after rewards. They don’t defend the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to them.

His breath is as an overflowing stream that reaches even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction. A bridle that leads to ruin will be in the jaws of the peoples.

He has made my mouth like a sharp sword. He has hidden me in the shadow of his hand. He has made me a polished shaft. He has kept me close in his quiver.

The Lord Yahweh’s Spirit is on me, because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to those who are bound,

For Yahweh says to the house of Israel: “Seek me, and you will live;

Don’t oppress the widow, nor the fatherless, the foreigner, nor the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart.’

You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also.

Therefore we don’t faint, but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.

gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;

Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth, and destroy by the manifestation of his coming;

to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all humility toward all men.

Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword, that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He treads the wine press of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.

Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all the men who were on the surface of the earth.

I broke the jaws of the unrighteous and plucked the prey out of his teeth.

You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”

Arise, Yahweh, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake for me. You have commanded judgment.

Arise, Yahweh! God, lift up your hand! Don’t forget the helpless.

Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts. You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.

Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.

The humble have seen it, and are glad. You who seek after God, let your heart live.

For he will deliver the needy when he cries; the poor, who has no helper.

Behold, these are the wicked. Being always at ease, they increase in riches.

Learn to do well. Seek justice. Relieve the oppressed. Defend the fatherless. Plead for the widow.”

What will you do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? Where will you leave your wealth?

You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?

with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love,

and that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we instructed you;

in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,

Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts. Always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear,

Arise, Yahweh! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.

Arise, Yahweh! Don’t let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.

Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.

Wake up! Why do you sleep, Lord? Arise! Don’t reject us forever.

Why do you draw back your hand, even your right hand? Take it from your chest and consume them!

The king who fairly judges the poor, his throne shall be established forever.

For through Yahweh’s voice the Assyrian will be dismayed. He will strike him with his rod.

For Yahweh is our judge. Yahweh is our lawgiver. Yahweh is our king. He will save us.

He has also broken my teeth with gravel. He has covered me with ashes.

Yahweh spoke suddenly to Moses, to Aaron, and to Miriam, “You three come out to the Tent of Meeting!” The three of them came out.

what then will I do when God rises up? When he visits, what will I answer him?

He will guide the humble in justice. He will teach the humble his way.

He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, and will break the oppressor in pieces.

For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.

but he will judge the poor with righteousness, and decide with equity for the humble of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips he will kill the wicked.

They have grown fat. They shine; yes, they excel in deeds of wickedness. They don’t plead the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may prosper; and they don’t defend the rights of the needy.

Seek Yahweh, all you humble of the land, who have kept his ordinances. Seek righteousness. Seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden in the day of Yahweh’s anger.

Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.

but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.
