Job
As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:
If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;
And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.
Psalms
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said, I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.
Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD. The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.
The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.
Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.
O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;
The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.
Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
