You godly ones, shout for joy because of the Lord! It is appropriate for the morally upright to offer him praise.

The godly bask in the light; the morally upright experience joy.

They are forever firm, and should be faithfully and properly carried out.

צ (Tsade) You are just, O Lord, and your judgments are fair.

Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, to the morally upright!

He stores up effective counsel for the upright, and is like a shield for those who live with integrity,

All of them are clear to the discerning and upright to those who find knowledge.

The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the unfaithful destroys them.

The righteousness of the upright will deliver them, but the faithless will be captured by their own desires.

Fools mock at reparation, but among the upright there is favor.

The household of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish.

The wicked become a ransom for the righteous, and the faithless are taken in the place of the upright.

Asa did what the Lord approved like his ancestor David had done.

(14:1) Asa did what the Lord his God desired and approved.

He did what the Lord approved, but not with wholehearted devotion.

Upright men are appalled at this; the innocent man is troubled with the godless.

There an upright person could present his case before him, and I would be delivered forever from my judge.

The Exalted God is my shield, the one who delivers the morally upright.

Certainly the Lord is just; he rewards godly deeds; the upright will experience his favor.

The Lord is both kind and fair; that is why he teaches sinners the right way to live.
