The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them. | The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them. |
He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known. | Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever follows perverse ways will be found out. |

He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. | He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk blamelessly. |
With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright. | With the loyal you show yourself loyal; with the blameless you show yourself blameless. |
Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord. | Happy are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord. |
The way of the Lord is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity. | The way of the Lord is a stronghold for the upright, but destruction for evildoers. |
Wherefore now let the fear of the Lord be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts. | Now, let the fear of the Lord be upon you; take care what you do, for there is no perversion of justice with the Lord our God, or partiality, or taking of bribes. |
