Your wickedness affects only a person like yourself, and your righteousness only other people.

I will maintain my righteousness and never let it go; my conscience will not reproach me for as long as I live.

He entreats God, and God delights in him, he sees God’s face with rejoicing, and God restores to him his righteousness.

As for the Almighty, we cannot attain to him! He is great in power, but justice and abundant righteousness he does not oppress.
