The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them. | The integrity of the upright shall guide them, but the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them. |
Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever follows perverse ways will be found out. | He who walks blamelessly walks surely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out. |

He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk blamelessly. | He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity. |
With the loyal you show yourself loyal; with the blameless you show yourself blameless. | With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man, you will show yourself perfect. |
Happy are those whose way is blameless, 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 a stronghold for the upright, but destruction for evildoers. | The way of Yahweh is a stronghold to the upright, but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity. |
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. | 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. |
