And the path of the righteous is as a shining light, Going and brightening till the day is established,

Give to the wise, and he is wiser still, Make known to the righteous, And he increaseth learning.

Jehovah causeth not the soul of the righteous to hunger, And the desire of the wicked He thrusteth away.

Blessings are for the head of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence.

The remembrance of the righteous is for a blessing, And the name of the wicked doth rot.

A fountain of life is the mouth of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence.

The wage of the righteous is for life, The increase of the wicked for sin.

The tongue of the righteous is chosen silver, The heart of the wicked -- as a little thing.

The lips of the righteous delight many, And fools for lack of heart die.

The feared thing of the wicked it meeteth him, And the desire of the righteous is given.

As the passing by of a hurricane, So the wicked is not, And the righteous is a foundation age-during.

The hope of the righteous is joyful, And the expectation of the wicked perisheth.

The righteous to the age is not moved, And the wicked inhabit not the earth.

The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And the tongue of frowardness is cut out.

The lips of the righteous know a pleasing thing, And the mouth of the wicked perverseness!

That thou dost go in the way of the good, And the paths of the righteous dost keep.

The curse of Jehovah is in the house of the wicked. And the habitation of the righteous He blesseth.

Also, to fine the righteous is not good, To smite nobles for uprightness.

Acceptance of the face of the wicked is not good, To turn aside the righteous in judgment.

A tower of strength is the name of Jehovah, Into it the righteous runneth, and is set on high.

Righteous is the first in his own cause, His neighbour cometh and hath searched him.

The righteous is walking habitually in his integrity, O the happiness of his sons after him!

The Righteous One is acting wisely Towards the house of the wicked, He is overthrowing the wicked for wickedness.

To do justice is joy to the righteous, But ruin to workers of iniquity.

The wicked is an atonement for the righteous, And for the upright the treacherous dealer.

All the day desiring he hath desired, And the righteous giveth and withholdeth not.

The father of the righteous rejoiceth greatly, The begetter of the wise rejoiceth in him.

The righteous from distress is drawn out, And the wicked goeth in instead of him.

With the mouth a hypocrite corrupteth his friend, And by knowledge the righteous are drawn out.

In the good of the righteous a city exulteth, And in the destruction of the wicked is singing.

Hand to hand, the wicked is not acquitted, And the seed of the righteous hath escaped.

The desire of the righteous is only good, The hope of the wicked is transgression.

Whoso is confident in his wealth he falleth, And as a leaf, the righteous flourish.

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And whoso is taking souls is wise.

Lo, the righteous in the earth is recompensed, Surely also the wicked and the sinner!

A man is not established by wickedness, And the root of the righteous is not moved.

The thoughts of the righteous are justice, The counsels of the wicked -- deceit.

Overthrow the wicked, and they are not, And the house of the righteous standeth.

The righteous knoweth the life of his beast, And the mercies of the wicked are cruel.

The wicked hath desired the net of evil doers, And the root of the righteous giveth.

In transgression of the lips is the snare of the wicked, And the righteous goeth out from distress.

No iniquity is desired by the righteous, And the wicked have been full of evil.

The righteous searcheth his companion, And the way of the wicked causeth them to err.

A false word the righteous hateth, And the wicked causeth abhorrence, and is confounded.

The light of the righteous rejoiceth, And the lamp of the wicked is extinguished.

Evil pursueth sinners, And good recompenseth the righteous.

A good man causeth sons' sons to inherit, And laid up for the righteous is the sinner's wealth.

The righteous is eating to the satiety of his soul, And the belly of the wicked lacketh!

The evil have bowed down before the good, And the wicked at the gates of the righteous.

In his wickedness is the wicked driven away, And trustful in his death is the righteous.

In the house of the righteous is abundant strength, And in the increase of the wicked -- trouble.

The heart of the righteous meditateth to answer, And the mouth of the wicked uttereth evil things.

Far is Jehovah from the wicked, And the prayer of the righteous He heareth.

The delight of kings are righteous lips, And whoso is speaking uprightly he loveth,

Whoso is justifying the wicked, And condemning the righteous, Even both of these are an abomination to Jehovah.

Lay not wait, O wicked one, At the habitation of the righteous. Do not spoil his resting-place.

For seven times doth the righteous fall and rise, And the wicked stumble in evil.

Whoso is saying to the wicked, 'Thou art righteous,' Peoples execrate him -- nations abhor him.

A spring troubled, and a fountain corrupt, Is the righteous falling before the wicked.

The wicked have fled and there is no pursuer. And the righteous as a young lion is confident.

In the exulting of the righteous the glory is abundant, And in the rising of the wicked man is apprehensive.

In the rising of the wicked a man is hidden, And in their destruction the righteous multiply!

In the multiplying of the righteous the people rejoice, And in the ruling of the wicked the people sigh.

In the transgression of the evil is a snare, And the righteous doth sing and rejoice.

The righteous knoweth the plea of the poor, The wicked understandeth not knowledge.

In the multiplying of the wicked transgression multiplieth, And the righteous on their fall do look.

An abomination to the righteous is the perverse man, And an abomination to the wicked is the upright in the way!
