The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer:

The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: and none of those that hope in him shall go wrong.

But my soul shall exult in the Lord: it shall delight in his salvation.

Let them that rejoice in my righteousness exult and be glad: and let them say continually, The Lord be magnified, who desire the peace of his servant.

The transgressor, that he may sin, says within himself, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.

For he has dealt craftily before him, to discover his iniquity and hate it.

The words of his mouth are transgression and deceit: he is not inclined to understand how to do good.

He devises iniquity on his bed; he gives himself to every evil way; and does not abhor evil.

Submit thyself to the Lord, and supplicate him: fret not thyself because of him that prospers in his way, at the man that does unlawful deeds.

And yet a little while, and the sinner shall not be, and thou shalt seek for his place, and shalt not find it.

The sinner will watch for the righteous, and gnash his teeth upon him.

But the Lord shall laugh at him: for he foresees that his day will come.

The steps of a man are rightly ordered by the Lord: and he will take pleasure in his way.

When he falls, he shall not be ruined: for the Lord supports his hand.

I was once young, indeed I am now old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread.

He is merciful, and lends continually; and his seed shall be blessed.

For the Lord loves judgment, and will not forsake his saints; they shall be preserved for ever: the blameless shall be avenged, but the seed of the ungodly shall be utterly destroyed.

The mouth of the righteous will meditate wisdom, and his tongue will speak of judgment.

The law of his God is in his heart; and his steps shall not slide.

But the Lord will not leave him in his hands, nor by any means condemn him when he is judged.
