- Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil.
- Riches do not profit in the day of wrath,
but righteousness delivers from death. - Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
when it is in your power to do it. - The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are open to their cry. - For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving,
abounding in steadfast love to all who call on you. - Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord.
Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my supplications! - But as for me, I will look to the Lord,
I will wait for the God of my salvation;
my God will hear me. - Learn to do good;
seek justice,
rescue the oppressed,
defend the orphan,
plead for the widow. - Remove far from me falsehood and lying;
give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with the food that I need. - You shall not abuse any widow or orphan. If you do abuse them, when they cry out to me, I will surely heed their cry; my wrath will burn, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall become widows and your children orphans.

therefore he will rise up to show mercy to you.

blessed are all those who wait for him. - Who are you to pass judgment on servants of another? It is before their own lord that they stand or fall. And they will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make them stand.
- Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him, and he will act.
He will make your vindication shine like the light,
and the justice of your cause like the noonday. - I was ready to be sought out by those who did not ask,
to be found by those who did not seek me.
I said, “Here I am, here I am,”
to a nation that did not call on my name. - And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope.
