Riches and honor are with me, long-lasting wealth and righteousness.

Justice will settle down in the desert and fairness will live in the orchard.

The Israelites turn justice into bitterness; they throw what is fair and right to the ground.

Justice must flow like torrents of water, righteous actions like a stream that never dries up.

Such godly people are rewarded by the Lord, and vindicated by the God who delivers them.

Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit, but righteousness delivers from mortal danger.

Wealth does not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from mortal danger.

“Suppose a man is righteous. He practices what is just and right,

David reigned over all Israel; he guaranteed justice for all his people.

David reigned over all Israel; he guaranteed justice for all his people.

The king is strong; he loves justice. You ensure that legal decisions will be made fairly; you promote justice and equity in Jacob.

I will make justice the measuring line, fairness the plumb line; hail will sweep away the unreliable refuge, the floodwaters will overwhelm the hiding place.

The Lord is exalted, indeed, he lives in heaven; he fills Zion with justice and fairness.

In those days and at that time I will raise up for them a righteous descendant of David. “‘He will do what is just and right in the land.

When a wicked person turns from the wickedness he has committed and does what is just and right, he will preserve his life.

Suppose I say to the wicked, ‘You must certainly die,’ but he turns from his sin and does what is just and right.

None of the sins he has committed will be counted against him. He has done what is just and right; he will certainly live.

When the wicked turns from his sin and does what is just and right, he will live because of it.

We will be innocent if we carefully keep all these commandments before the Lord our God, just as he demands.”

O sky, rain down from above! Let the clouds send down showers of deliverance! Let the earth absorb it so salvation may grow, and deliverance may sprout up along with it. I, the Lord, create it.
