The Lord is both kind and fair; that is why he teaches sinners the right way to live.

All the paths of the Lord are lovingkindness and goodness and truth and faithfulness
To those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.

The Lord shows his faithful followers the way they should live.

He will live a good life,
and his descendants will inherit the land.

Protect my life and deliver me. Let me not be put to shame, because I take shelter in you.

Because your loyal love [is] before my eyes, and I walk about in your faithfulness.

Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house, And the place where thy glory dwelleth.

Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

But I live with integrity;
redeem me and be gracious to me.

{A Psalm of David.} The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.

Teach me how you want me to live; lead me along a level path because of those who wait to ambush me!

O Lord, You have brought my life up from Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead);
You have kept me alive, so that I would not go down to the pit (grave).

For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

"What profit is there in taking my life, in my descending into the Pit? Can the dust of the grave praise you? Can it declare your loyalty?

Into your hand I entrust my life; you will rescue me, O Lord, the faithful God.

I will rejoice and be glad in Your steadfast love,
Because You have seen my affliction;
You have taken note of my life’s distresses,

For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.

The course of my life is in Your power;
deliver me from the power of my enemies
and from my persecutors.

Shine your face upon your servant. Save me by your loyal love.

Let me not be ashamed, LORD, for I have called upon you. Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in the next life.

Blessed [is] Yahweh, because he has worked marvelously his loyal love to me in a besieged city.

O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.

For, day and night, heavy upon me, was thy hand, - Changed was my life-sap into the drought of summer. Selah.

I will instruct and teach you about how you should live. I will advise you as I look you in the eye.

Many are [the] pains of the wicked, but [for] the one who trusts Yahweh loyal love surrounds him.

[He] loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loyal love of Yahweh.

Let the whole earth fear the Lord! Let all who live in the world stand in awe of him!

Behold, the eye of Yahweh [is] on those who fear him, on those who hope for his loyal love

Let your loyal love, O Yahweh, be upon us, {even as} we hope in you.

My soul makes its boast in the Lord;
The humble and downtrodden will hear it and rejoice.

What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?

Yahweh redeems the life of his servants, and none who take refuge in him will incur guilt.

Let them be put to shame and confounded that seek after my life; let them be turned backward and brought to confusion that devise my hurt:

For without cause they hid their net for me;
Without cause they dug a pit [of destruction] for my life.

Lord, how long will You look on [without action]?
Rescue my life from their destructions,
My only life from the young lions.

For they do not speak in friendly ways,
but contrive deceitful schemes
against those who live peacefully in the land.

O Yahweh, your loyal love [extends] into [the] heavens, your faithfulness unto [the] clouds.

Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judging is like the great deep; O Lord, you give life to man and beast.

How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
The children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.

For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

Prolong your loyal love to those who know you, and your righteousness to [the] upright of heart.

Trust in the Lord and do what is good;
dwell in the land and live securely.

Put your life in the hands of the Lord; have faith in him and he will do it.

The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.

A sword, have the lawless, drawn out, and have trodden their bow, - To bring down the oppressed and the needy, To slaughter the upright in life:

Depart from evil, and do good. Live securely forever.

For Jehovah love's judgment, and he will not forsake his godly ones; forever they were watched, and the seed of the unjust was cut off.

The righteous shall inherit the land, and live in it forever.

Those I love and my friends stand aloof from my plague, and my kinsmen stand afar off.

They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.

But mine enemies live, and are mighty: and they that hate me wrongfully are many in number.

“Lord, reveal to me the end of my life
and the number of my days.
Let me know how short-lived I am.

Behold, thou hast made my days as handbreadths; And my life-time is as nothing before thee: Surely every man at his best estate is altogether vanity. Selah

Surely people go through life as mere ghosts. Surely they accumulate worthless wealth without knowing who will eventually haul it away."

I have not concealed Your righteousness within my heart;
I have proclaimed Your faithfulness and Your salvation.
I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth from the great assembly.

As for you, O Yahweh, do not withhold your mercies from me. Let your loyal love and your faithfulness continually preserve me.

Let those be ashamed and humiliated together
Who seek my life to destroy it;
Let those be turned back [in defeat] and dishonored
Who delight in my hurt.

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.

The Lord will keep him safe, and give him life; the Lord will let him be a blessing on the earth, and will not give him into the hand of his haters.

O my God, my soul is in despair within me [the burden more than I can bear];
Therefore I will [fervently] remember You from the land of the Jordan
And the peaks of [Mount] Hermon, from Mount Mizar.

Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.

Reveal your light and your faithfulness! They will lead me, they will escort me back to your holy hill, and to the place where you live.

You made us an object of disdain to our neighbors; those who live on our borders taunt and insult us.

Rise up! Come be our help,
And ransom us for the sake of Your steadfast love.

For the music director; according to the tune of "Lilies;" by the Korahites, a well-written poem, a love song. My heart is stirred by a beautiful song. I say, "I have composed this special song for the king; my tongue is as skilled as the stylus of an experienced scribe."

You have loved righteousness (virtue, morality, justice) and hated wickedness;
Therefore God, your God, has anointed You
Above Your companions with the oil of jubilation.

We have thought of Your lovingkindness, O God,
In the midst of Your temple.

Listen to this, all you people! Pay attention, all you who live in the world,

No man can redeem the life of another, nor can he give to God a sufficient payment for him

(For the redemption of their life is costly, And it faileth for ever;)

That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.

They will travel to Sheol like sheep, with death as their shepherd. The godly will rule over them when the day of vindication dawns; Sheol will consume their bodies and they will no longer live in impressive houses.

Surely God will ransom my life from the {power} of Sheol, because he will receive me. Selah

For his soul in his life he blesseth, (And they praise thee when thou dost well for thyself.)

If thou sawest a thief, then didst thou run with him, - And, with adulterers, hath been thy chosen life;

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness;
According to the greatness of Your compassion blot out my transgressions.

Why do you boast about evil, O mighty man? The loyal love of God [endures] {continually}.

You love evil more than good,
And falsehood more than speaking what is right. Selah.

You love all words that devour,
O deceitful tongue.

The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:

But I [am] like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God. I trust the loyal love of God forever and ever.

For strangers are risen up against me, and the violent seek after my life: they have not set God before them. Selah.

Behold, God is my helper and ally;
The Lord is the sustainer of my soul [my upholder].

I said, "O, who will give me the wings of a dove, so that I could fly away and live somewhere else?

He has redeemed my life in peace from the battle that was against me,
For there were many against me.

But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.

They attack, they hide and lurk,
They watch my steps,
As they have [expectantly] waited to take my life.

For You have rescued my soul from death,
Yes, and my feet from stumbling,
So that I may walk before God
In the light of life.

He will send from heaven and save me; he will reproach [the] one who tramples me. Selah God will send his loyal love and his faithfulness.

My life is among lions;
I must lie among those who breathe out fire—
The sons of men whose teeth are spears and arrows,
And their tongue a sharp sword.

They set a net for my steps;
My very life was bowed down.
They dug a pit before me;
Into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah.

Because your loyal love [is] high to [the] heavens, and your faithfulness to [the] clouds.

Look! They lie in wait for my life;
Fierce and powerful men [are uniting together to] launch an attack against me,
Not for my wrongdoing nor for any sin of mine, O Lord.

But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.

My God in His [steadfast] lovingkindness will meet me;
God will let me look triumphantly on my enemies [who lie in wait for me].

But as for me, I will sing [of] your strength, and I will hail your loyal love in the morning, because you have been my [high] stronghold and a refuge in my {time} of trouble.

To You, O [God] my strength, I will sing praises;
For God is my stronghold [my refuge, my protector, my high tower], the God who shows me [steadfast] lovingkindness.

Save with Your right hand, and answer me,
so that those You love may be rescued.
