You came down on Mount Sinai,

and spoke to them from heaven.

You gave them impartial ordinances, reliable instructions,

and good statutes and commands.

Why was I not stillborn;

why didn’t I die as I came from the womb?

My shield is with God,

who saves the upright in heart.

“For look, the wicked string bows;

they put their arrows on bowstrings

to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.

The precepts of the LORD are right,

making the heart glad;

the command of the LORD is radiant,

making the eyes light up.

May integrity and what is right

watch over me,

for I wait for you.

Because of my adversaries,

show me your way, LORD,

and lead me on a level path.

Be glad in the LORD and rejoice,

you righteous ones;

shout for joy,

all you upright in heart.

Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones;

praise from the upright is beautiful.

Spread your faithful love over those who know you,

and your righteousness over the upright in heart.

The wicked have drawn the sword and strung the[fn] bow

to bring down the poor and needy

and to slaughter those whose way is upright.

Like sheep they are headed for Sheol;

Death will shepherd them.

The upright will rule over them in the morning,

and their form will waste away in Sheol,[fn]

far from their lofty abode.

Do you really speak righteously, you mighty ones?[fn]

Do you judge people fairly?

The righteous one rejoices in the LORD

and takes refuge in him;

all those who are upright in heart

will offer praise.

God is indeed good to Israel,

to the pure in heart.

their hearts were insincere toward him,

and they were unfaithful to his covenant.

for the administration of justice will again be righteous,

and all the upright in heart will follow[fn] it.

Light dawns[fn][fn] for the righteous,

gladness for the upright in heart.

He led them by the right path

to go to a city where they could live.

The upright see it and rejoice,

and all injustice shuts its mouth.

Hallelujah![fn]

I will praise the LORD with all my heart

in the assembly of the upright and in the congregation.

His descendants will be powerful in the land;

the generation of the upright will be blessed.

Light shines in the darkness for the upright.

He is gracious, compassionate, and righteous.

Do what is good, LORD, to the good,

to those whose hearts are upright.

Surely the righteous will praise your name;

the upright will live in your presence.

Teach me to do your will,

for you are my God.

May your gracious Spirit

lead me on level ground.

from those who abandon the right paths

to walk in ways of darkness,

It will rescue you from a forbidden woman,

from a wayward woman with her flattering talk,

None return who go to her;

none reach the paths of life.

For the upright will inhabit the land,

and those of integrity will remain in it;

Even a young man is known by his actions —

by whether his behavior is pure and upright.

The one who leads the upright into an evil way

will fall into his own pit,

but the blameless will inherit what is good.

Bloodthirsty men hate an honest person,

but the upright care about him.[fn]

The path of the righteous is level;

you clear a straight path for the righteous.

The one who lives righteously

and speaks rightly,

who refuses profit from extortion,

whose hand never takes a bribe,

who stops his ears from listening to murderous plots

and shuts his eyes against evil schemes —

A voice of one crying out:

Prepare the way of the LORD in the wilderness;

make a straight highway for our God in the desert.

“I will lead the blind by a way they did not know;

I will guide them on paths they have not known.

I will turn darkness to light in front of them

and rough places into level ground.

This is what I will do for them,

and I will not abandon them.

“I have stirred him up in righteousness,

and will level all roads for him.

He will rebuild my city,

and set my exiles free,

not for a price or a bribe,”

says the LORD of Armies.
