Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the wicked will perish.

For it is You who blesses the righteous man, O Lord,
You surround him with favor as with a shield.

O let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous;
For the righteous God tries the hearts and minds.

God is a righteous judge,
And a God who has indignation every day.

If the foundations are destroyed,
What can the righteous do?”

The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked,
And the one who loves violence His soul hates.

For the Lord is righteous, He loves righteousness;
The upright will behold His face.

There they are in great dread,
For God is with the righteous generation.

The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether.

Let the lying lips be mute,
Which speak arrogantly against the righteous
With pride and contempt.

Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous ones;
And shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.

Sing for joy in the Lord, O you righteous ones;
Praise is becoming to the upright.

The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous
And His ears are open to their cry.

The righteous cry, and the Lord hears
And delivers them out of all their troubles.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
But the Lord delivers him out of them all.

Evil shall slay the wicked,
And those who hate the righteous will be condemned.

The wicked plots against the righteous
And gnashes at him with his teeth.

Better is the little of the righteous
Than the abundance of many wicked.

For the arms of the wicked will be broken,
But the Lord sustains the righteous.

The wicked borrows and does not pay back,
But the righteous is gracious and gives.

I have been young and now I am old,
Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken
Or his descendants begging bread.

The righteous will inherit the land
And dwell in it forever.

The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom,
And his tongue speaks justice.

The wicked spies upon the righteous
And seeks to kill him.

But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;
He is their strength in time of trouble.

Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices,
In burnt offering and whole burnt offering;
Then young bulls will be offered on Your altar.

The righteous will see and fear,
And will laugh at him, saying,

Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you;
He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.

The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance;
He will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

And men will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous;
Surely there is a God who judges on earth!”

The righteous man will be glad in the Lord and will take refuge in Him;
And all the upright in heart will glory.

But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God;
Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.

May they be blotted out of the book of life
And may they not be recorded with the righteous.

In his days may the righteous flourish,
And abundance of peace till the moon is no more.

And all the horns of the wicked He will cut off,
But the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.

The righteous man will flourish like the palm tree,
He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

For judgment will again be righteous,
And all the upright in heart will follow it.

They band themselves together against the life of the righteous
And condemn the innocent to death.

Light is sown like seed for the righteous
And gladness for the upright in heart.

Be glad in the Lord, you righteous ones,
And give thanks to His holy name.

The Lord performs righteous deeds
And judgments for all who are oppressed.

Light arises in the darkness for the upright;
He is gracious and compassionate and righteous.

For he will never be shaken;
The righteous will be remembered forever.

Gracious is the Lord, and righteous;
Yes, our God is compassionate.

The sound of joyful shouting and salvation is in the tents of the righteous;
The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.

This is the gate of the Lord;
The righteous will enter through it.

I shall give thanks to You with uprightness of heart,
When I learn Your righteous judgments.

At midnight I shall rise to give thanks to You
Because of Your righteous ordinances.

I know, O Lord, that Your judgments are righteous,
And that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.

I have sworn and I will confirm it,
That I will keep Your righteous ordinances.

My eyes fail with longing for Your salvation
And for Your righteous word.

Tsadhe.
Righteous are You, O Lord,
And upright are Your judgments.

Your testimonies are righteous forever;
Give me understanding that I may live.

The sum of Your word is truth,
And every one of Your righteous ordinances is everlasting.

Seven times a day I praise You,
Because of Your righteous ordinances.

For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the land of the righteous,
So that the righteous will not put forth their hands to do wrong.

The Lord is righteous;
He has cut in two the cords of the wicked.

Surely the righteous will give thanks to Your name;
The upright will dwell in Your presence.

Let the righteous smite me in kindness and reprove me;
It is oil upon the head;
Do not let my head refuse it,
For still my prayer is against their wicked deeds.

“Bring my soul out of prison,
So that I may give thanks to Your name;
The righteous will surround me,
For You will deal bountifully with me.”

And do not enter into judgment with Your servant,
For in Your sight no man living is righteous.

The Lord is righteous in all His ways
And kind in all His deeds.

The Lord opens the eyes of the blind;
The Lord raises up those who are bowed down;
The Lord loves the righteous;
