If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

All the paths of the LORD {are} mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

Therefore I esteem all {thy} precepts {concerning} all {things to be} right; {and} I hate every false way.

I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments. {thy...: Heb. judgments of thy righteousness}

For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he {is} God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;

Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.

Blessed {is} the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

All the paths of the LORD {are} mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

For the word of the LORD {is} right; and all his works {are done} in truth.

Thy word {is} true {from} the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments {endureth} for ever. {Thy word...: Heb. The beginning of thy word is true}

The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity. {commandment: Heb. mouth}

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

Who {is} wise, and he shall understand these {things}? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD {are} right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.

If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:

His prayer also, and {how God} was intreated of him, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they {are} written among the sayings of the seers. {the seers: or, Hosai}

Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments {are} good.

[To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David.] Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me {when I was} in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. {chief...: or, overseer} {have...: or, be gracious unto me}

The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.

The fear of the LORD {is} clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD {are} true {and} righteous altogether. {true: Heb. truth}
