3:1 After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.

3:2 And Job answered and said:

3:3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, And the night which said, There is a man-child conceived.

3:4 Let that day be darkness; Let not God from above seek for it, Neither let the light shine upon it.

3:5 Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own; Let a cloud dwell upon it; Let all that maketh black the day terrify it.

3:6 As for that night, let thick darkness seize upon it: Let it not rejoice among the days of the year; Let it not come into the number of the months.

3:7 Lo, let that night be barren; Let no joyful voice come therein.

3:8 Let them curse it that curse the day, Who are ready to rouse up leviathan.

3:9 Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark: Let it look for light, but have none; Neither let it behold the eyelids of the morning:

3:10 Because it shut not up the doors of my mother’s womb, Nor hid trouble from mine eyes.

3:11 Why died I not from the womb? Why did I not give up the ghost when my mother bare me?

3:12 Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breast, that I should suck?

3:13 For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept; then had I been at rest,

3:14 With kings and counsellors of the earth, Who built up waste places for themselves;

3:15 Or with princes that had gold, Who filled their houses with silver

3:16 Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, As infants that never saw light.

3:17 There the wicked cease from troubling; And there the weary are at rest.

3:18 There the prisoners are at ease together; They hear not the voice of the taskmaster.

3:19 The small and the great are there: And the servant is free from his master.

3:20 Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, And life unto the bitter in soul;

3:21 Who long for death, but it cometh not, And dig for it more than for hid treasures;

3:22 Who rejoice exceedingly, And are glad, when they can find the grave?

3:23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, And whom God hath hedged in?

3:24 For my sighing cometh before I eat, And my groanings are poured out like water.

3:25 For the thing which I fear cometh upon me, And that which I am afraid of cometh unto me.

3:26 I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest; But trouble cometh.

46:1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah; set to Alamoth. A Song. God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.

46:2 Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, And though the mountains be shaken into the heart of the seas

46:3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, Though the mountains tremble with the swelling thereof. [Selah

46:4 There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.

46:5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God will help her, and that right early.

46:6 The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved: He uttered his voice, the earth melted.

46:7 Jehovah of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge.[Selah

46:8 Come, behold the works of Jehovah, What desolations he hath made in the earth.

46:9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth the chariots in the fire.

46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

46:11 Jehovah of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge.[Selah

16:27 to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory for ever. Amen.
