3 Confess him before the Gentiles, ye children of Israel: for he hath scattered us among them.
6 If ye turn to him with your whole heart, and with your whole mind, and deal uprightly before him, then will he turn unto you, and will not hide his face from you. Therefore see what he will do with you, and confess him with your whole mouth, and praise the Lord of might, and extol (sing the praises of) the everlasting King. In the land of my captivity do I praise him, and declare his might and majesty to a sinful nation. O ye sinners, turn and do justice before him: who can tell if he will accept you, and have mercy on you?
13 Rejoice and be glad for the children of the just: for they shall be gathered together, and shall bless the Lord of the just.
1 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
3 He that backbiteth (gossip, slander, backstabbing,belittle, defame, cause scandal)
not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach (curse, insult, offense) against his neighbour.
4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned (disciplined, incriminated, reprimanded); but he honoureth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.
5 He that putteth not out his money to usury (steal), nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
1 Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
