- I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
- The Lord is righteous in all his ways,
and holy in all his works. - Surely he shall not be moved for ever:
the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. - I will praise thee with uprightness of heart,
when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments. - Many are the afflictions of the righteous:
but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. - A little that a righteous man hath
is better than the riches of many wicked.
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken:
but the Lord upholdeth the righteous. - The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous,
and his ears are open unto their cry. - The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again:
but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth. - He coveteth greedily all the day long:
but the righteous giveth and spareth not. - For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous;
with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield. - Thy word is true from the beginning:
and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. - The hope of the righteous shall be gladness:
but the expectation of the wicked shall perish. - The name of the Lord is a strong tower:
the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. - For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
- The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable:
but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness. - Cast thy burden upon the Lord,
and he shall sustain thee:
he shall never suffer
the righteous to be moved. - The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind:
the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down:
the Lord loveth the righteous. - But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
- The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice:
and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him. - An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour:
but through knowledge shall the just be delivered. - Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
- The memory of the just is blessed:
but the name of the wicked shall rot. - For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
- Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him:
but the just shall live by his faith. - Blessings are upon the head of the just:
but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth,
and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart;
and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
he is the King of glory. Selah. He that followeth after righteousness and mercy
findeth life, righteousness, and honour.Next verse!With image
