Job, you say you can't see God; but wait patiently—your case is before him.

Nothing I say to you is false; you see before you a truly wise man.

Job lived a hundred and forty years after this, long enough to see his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

I can hardly see; my eyes are so swollen from the weeping caused by my enemies.

See how wicked people think up evil; they plan trouble and practice deception.

Be merciful to me, O Lord ! See the sufferings my enemies cause me! Rescue me from death, O Lord ,

The wicked say to themselves, "God doesn't care! He has closed his eyes and will never see me!"

But you do see; you take notice of trouble and suffering and are always ready to help. The helpless commit themselves to you; you have always helped the needy.

The Lord looks down from heaven at us humans to see if there are any who are wise, any who worship him.

But I will see you, because I have done no wrong; and when I awake, your presence will fill me with joy.

None of us can see our own errors; deliver me, Lord , from hidden faults!

All who see me make fun of me; they stick out their tongues and shake their heads.

You prepare a banquet for me, where all my enemies can see me; you welcome me as an honored guest and fill my cup to the brim.

See how many enemies I have; see how much they hate me.

I know that I will live to see the Lord 's goodness in this present life.

I will be glad and rejoice because of your constant love. You see my suffering; you know my trouble.

All my enemies, and especially my neighbors, treat me with contempt. Those who know me are afraid of me; when they see me in the street, they run away.

May those who want to see me acquitted shout for joy and say again and again, "How great is the Lord ! He is pleased with the success of his servant."

You are the source of all life, and because of your light we see the light.

See where evil people have fallen. There they lie, unable to rise.
