The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he
delights in his way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the
Lord upholds his hand.
I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or
his children begging for bread.
He is ever lending generously, and his children become a blessing.
Turn away from evil and do good; so shall you dwell forever.
For the Lord loves justice; he will not forsake his saints.
They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.
The righteous shall inherit the land and dwell upon it
forever.
The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.
The law of his God is in his heart; his steps do not slip.
The wicked watches for the righteous and seeks to put him to death.
The Lord will not abandon him to his power or let him be condemned when he is
brought to trial.
Wait for the Lord and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land; you
will look on when the wicked are cut off.
Mark the blameless and behold the upright, for there is a
future for the man of peace.
But transgressors shall be altogether destroyed; the future of the wicked shall
be cut off.
The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; he is their stronghold in the
time of trouble.
The Lord helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and
saves them, because they take refuge in him.
