The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.

"Wilt thou find out God with thy seeking? Wilt thou attain to the perfectness of the Almighty? He is higher than heaven; what wilt thou do? Deeper than hell; how wilt thou then know him? His length exceedeth the length of the earth, and his breadth the breadth of the sea.

in comparison of whom, all they that dwell upon the earth are to be reputed as nothing. He handleth according to his will, among the powers of heaven and among the inhabiters of the earth - and there is none that may resist his hand, or say, 'What doest thou?'

For why would no man receive me, when I came? And when I called, no man gave me answer. Was my hand clean smitten off, that it might not help? Or had I not power to deliver?

{A Psalm of David} Fret not thyself because of the ungodly; neither be thou envious against the evil doers. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and be withered even as the green herb. Put thou thy trust in the LORD, and be doing good; dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.read more.
Delight thou in the LORD, and he shall give thee thy heart's desire. Commit thy way unto the LORD, set thy hope in him, and he shall bring it to pass. He shall make thy righteousness as clear as the light, and thy just dealing as the noonday. Hold thee still in the LORD, and abide patiently upon him: but grieve not thyself at one that hath prosperity, and liveth in abomination. Leave off from wrath, and let go displeasure; let not thy jealousy move thee also to do evil. For wicked doers shall be rooted out; but they that patiently abide the LORD, shall inherit the land. Suffer yet a little while, and the ungodly shall be clean gone; thou shalt look after his place, and he shall be away. But the meek spirited shall possess the earth, and shall be refreshed in the multitude of peace. The ungodly layeth wait for the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. But the LORD laugheth him to scorn, for he seeth that his day is coming. The ungodly have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the simple and poor, and to slay such as are of a right conversation. Their sword shall go through their own heart, and their bow shall be broken. A small thing that the righteous hath, is better than the great riches of the ungodly. For the arms of the ungodly shall be broken, and the LORD upholdeth the righteous. The LORD knoweth the days of the godly, and their inheritance shall endure forever. They shall not be confounded in the perilous time; and in the days of dearth they shall have enough. As for the ungodly, they shall perish. and the enemies of the LORD shall consume as the fat of lambs; yea, even as the smoke shall they consume away. The ungodly borroweth, and payeth not again, but the righteous is merciful and liberal. Such as are blessed of God shall possess the land; and they that are cursed of him shall be rooted out. The LORD ordereth a good man's going, and hath pleasure in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be hurt, for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. I have been young, and now am old; and yet saw I never the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging their bread. The righteous is ever merciful, and lendeth gently; therefore shall his seed be blessed. Flee from evil, and do the thing that is good, and dwell for evermore. For the LORD loveth the thing that is right; he forsaketh not his saints, but they are preserved forever. The unrighteous shall be punished; as for the seed of the ungodly, it shall be rooted out. The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein forever. The mouth of the righteous is exercised in wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. The law of his God is in his heart; therefore shall not his footsteps slide. The ungodly watcheth the righteous, and seeketh occasion to slay him. But the LORD will not leave him in his hands, nor condemn him when he is judged. Hope thou in the LORD, and keep his way. And he shall promote thee, that thou shalt possess the land; when the ungodly shall perish, thou shalt see it. I myself have seen the ungodly in great power, and flourishing like a green bay-tree. But when I went by, lo, he was gone; I sought him, but his place could nowhere be found. Keep innocency, and take heed unto the thing that is right; for that shall bring a man peace at the last. As for the transgressors, they shall perish together; and the ungodly shall be rooted out at the last. But the salvation of the righteous cometh of the LORD, who is also their strength in the time of trouble. And the LORD shall stand by them, and save them; he shall deliver them from the ungodly, and shall save them, because they put their trust in him.

even there also shall thy hand lead me, and thy righthand shall hold me.

The eyes of all wait upon thee, O LORD; and thou givest them their meat in due season. Thou openest thine hand, and fillest all things living with plenteousness.

But thou, O LORD my God, my holy one: thou art from the beginning, therefore shall we not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for punishment, and set them to reprove the mighty.
