He treasured up deliverance for the upright: a shield to those going in uprightness:

For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the blameless shall remain in it

For the perverse is an abomination of Jehovah: and his intercourse with the upright

The way of Jehovah is a fortress to the upright one: and destruction to those doing iniquity.

The integrity of the upright shall guide them: and the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.

The justice of the upright shall deliver them, and transgressors shall be taken in their mischief.

By the blessing of the upright the city shall be exalted: and by the mouth of the unjust it shall be overthrown.

The words of the unjust are the lying in wait of blood: and the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.

The foolish will mock at guilt: and between the upright acceptance.

The house of the unjust shall be destroyed: and the tent of the upright shall flourish.

The sacrifice of the unjust an abomination of Jehovah: and the prayer of the upright his acceptance.

The way of the slothful as the cutting of the thorn: and the path of the upright was raised up.

Lips of justice the acceptance of kings; and he will love the word of the upright

The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: to watch his ways the guarding of his soul.

The unjust one a ransom for the just one, and he transgressing, instead of the upright

An unjust man strengthened with his face: and the upright he will prepare his ways.

He causing the upright to wander in an evil way, into his pit shall he fall: and the good shall inherit complete things.

Men of bloods will hate the upright one: and the upright will seek his soul.

A man of iniquity is an abomination of the just; and the upright of way, an abomination of the unjust one.
