to guard the paths of the righteous and to protect the way of his pious ones.

I walk in the path of righteousness, in the pathway of justice,

The plans of the righteous are just; the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.

There is abundant food in the field of the poor, but it is swept away by injustice.

Better to have a little with righteousness than to have abundant income without justice.

Honest scales and balances are from the Lord; all the weights in the bag are his handiwork.

A wicked person receives a bribe secretly to pervert the ways of justice.

A crooked witness scorns justice, and the mouth of the wicked devours iniquity.

The violence done by the wicked will drag them away because they refuse to do what is right.

Doing justice brings joy to the righteous and terror to those who do evil.

Many people seek the face of a ruler, but it is from the Lord that one receives justice.

Evil people do not understand justice, but those who seek the Lord understand it all.
