We will remember and extol your love more [sweet and fragrant] than wine.

Rightly do they love you.”

The way of the righteous [those in right-standing with God—living in moral and spiritual integrity] is smooth and level;

O Upright One, make a level path for the just and righteous.

He who walks righteously and speaks with integrity,

Who rejects gain from fraud and from oppression,

Who shakes his hand free from the taking of bribes,

Who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed

And shuts his eyes to avoid looking upon evil;

In a corner of a land of darkness;

I did not say to the descendants of Jacob,

‘Seek Me in vain [with no benefit for yourselves].’

I, the LORD, speak righteousness [the truth—trustworthy, a straightforward correlation between deeds and words],

Declaring things that are upright.
