- My soul yearns for you in the night;
in the morning my spirit longs for you.
When your judgments come upon the earth,
the people of the world learn righteousness. - Start children off on the way they should go,
and even when they are old they will not turn from it. - But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves.
- Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.
- The name of the righteous is used in blessings,
but the name of the wicked will rot. - Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.
- I instruct you in the way of wisdom
and lead you along straight paths. - Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.
- Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God—I say this to your shame.
- But he knows the way that I take;
when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.
My feet have closely followed his steps;
I have kept to his way without turning aside. - Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath,
but righteousness delivers from death. - The tongue of the righteous is choice silver,
but the heart of the wicked is of little value. - Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.
- The prospect of the righteous is joy,
but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing. - For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent and live!
- See, the enemy is puffed up;
his desires are not upright—
but the righteous person will live by his faithfulness. - And if we are careful to obey all this law before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us, that will be our righteousness.
- Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws,
we wait for you;
your name and renown
are the desire of our hearts. - He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
- Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just. And those who walk in pride he is able to humble.
- Let your eyes look straight ahead;
fix your gaze directly before you. - There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?
- The wicked borrow and do not repay,
but the righteous give generously. - I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
- For he guards the course of the just
and protects the way of his faithful ones.
Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield.For the Lord your God is gracious and compassionate. He will not turn his face from you if you return to him.
