Righteousness

25It shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all this commandment before Yahweh our God, as he has commanded us.”

14I put on righteousness, and it clothed me. My justice was as a robe and a diadem.

26He prays to God, and he is favorable to him, so that he sees his face with joy. He restores to man his righteousness.

3He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.

1Yahweh, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy hill?

2He who walks blamelessly does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart;

3He who doesn’t slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor casts slurs against his fellow man;

4In whose eyes a vile man is despised, but who honors those who fear Yahweh; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn’t change;

5he who doesn’t lend out his money for usury, nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken.

3Who may ascend to Yahweh’s hill? Who may stand in his holy place?

4He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.

5He shall receive a blessing from Yahweh, righteousness from the God of his salvation.

3I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.

4A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.

2Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death.

5The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way, but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.

6The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them, but the unfaithful will be trapped by evil desires.

19He who is truly righteous gets life. He who pursues evil gets death.

30The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life. He who is wise wins souls.

7The righteous care about justice for the poor. The wicked aren’t concerned about knowledge.

15He who walks righteously, and speaks blamelessly; He who despises the gain of oppressions, who gestures with his hands, refusing to take a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from looking at evil—

16he will dwell on high. His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks. His bread will be supplied. His waters will be sure.

17Your eyes will see the king in his beauty. They will see a distant land.

35The good man out of his good treasure brings out good things, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings out evil things.
