- For he guards the course of the just
and protects the way of his faithful ones. - Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
- But from everlasting to everlasting
the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children’s children—
with those who keep his covenant
and remember to obey his precepts. - The Lord will vindicate me;
your love, Lord, endures forever—
do not abandon the works of your hands. - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
- For the Lord loves the just
and will not forsake his faithful ones.
Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed;
the offspring of the wicked will perish. - Let those who love the Lord hate evil,
for he guards the lives of his faithful ones
and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
