'Uprightness' in the Bible

It is not for your righteousness or for the uprightness of your heart that you are going to possess their land, but it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord your God is driving them out before you, in order to confirm the oath which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Then Solomon said, “You have shown great lovingkindness to Your servant David my father, according as he walked before You in truth and righteousness and uprightness of heart toward You; and You have reserved for him this great lovingkindness, that You have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.

As for you, if you will walk before Me as your father David walked, in integrity of heart and uprightness, doing according to all that I have commanded you and will keep My statutes and My ordinances,

Since I know, O my God, that You try the heart and delight in uprightness, I, in the integrity of my heart, have willingly offered all these things; so now with joy I have seen Your people, who are present here, make their offerings willingly to You.

“My words are from the uprightness of my heart,And my lips speak knowledge sincerely.

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,For I wait for You.

Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;A scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

Let the nations be glad and sing for joy;For You will judge the peoples with uprightnessAnd guide the nations on the earth. Selah.

They are upheld forever and ever;They are performed in truth and uprightness.

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

From those who leave the paths of uprightnessTo walk in the ways of darkness;

He who walks in his uprightness fears the Lord,But he who is devious in his ways despises Him.

It is also not good to fine the righteous,Nor to strike the noble for their uprightness.

Though the wicked is shown favor,He does not learn righteousness;He deals unjustly in the land of uprightness,And does not perceive the majesty of the Lord.

Justice is turned back,And righteousness stands far away;For truth has stumbled in the street,And uprightness cannot enter.

True instruction was in his mouth and unrighteousness was not found on his lips; he walked with Me in peace and uprightness, and he turned many back from iniquity.
