He said to David, “You are more righteous and upright [in God’s eyes] than I; for you have done good to me, but I have done evil to you.

“The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness;According to the cleanness of my hands He has rewarded me.

But as for you, be strong and do not lose courage, for there is reward for your work.”

He has not dealt with us according to our sins [as we deserve],Nor rewarded us [with punishment] according to our wickedness.

They have repaid me evil for good,And hatred for my love.

Whoever despises the word and counsel [of God] brings destruction upon himself,But he who [reverently] fears and respects the commandment [of God] will be rewarded.

Thus says the Lord,“Restrain your voice from weepingAnd your eyes from tears,For your work will be rewarded,” says the Lord;“And your children will return from the enemy’s land.
