The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them. | The integrity of the upright shall guide them, but the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them. |
He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known. | He who walks blamelessly walks surely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out. |

He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. | He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity. |
With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright. | With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man, you will show yourself perfect. |
Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord. | Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to Yahweh’s law. |
The way of the Lord is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity. | The way of Yahweh is a stronghold to the upright, but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity. |
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 therefore let the fear of Yahweh be on you. Take heed and do it; for there is no iniquity with Yahweh our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes. |
