In what direction is lightning dispersed, or the east winds scattered over the earth?

Lord, lead me in your righteousness because of those who wait to ambush me, remove the obstacles in the way in which you are guiding me!

He is secure at all times. He has no regard for your commands; he disdains all his enemies.

The one true God acts in a faithful manner; the Lord’s promise is reliable; he is a shield to all who take shelter in him.

Wait patiently for the Lord! Wait confidently for him! Do not fret over the apparent success of a sinner, a man who carries out wicked schemes!

Evil men draw their swords and prepare their bows, to bring down the oppressed and needy, and to slaughter those who are godly.

Rely on the Lord! Obey his commands! Then he will permit you to possess the land; you will see the demise of evil men.

This is the destiny of fools, and of those who approve of their philosophy. (Selah)

You walked through the sea; you passed through the surging waters, but left no footprints.

O Lord, teach me how you want me to live! Then I will obey your commands. Make me wholeheartedly committed to you!

I will walk in the way of integrity. When will you come to me? I will conduct my business with integrity in the midst of my palace.

I will favor the honest people of the land, and allow them to live with me. Those who walk in the way of integrity will attend me.

The Lord protects those residing outside their native land; he lifts up the fatherless and the widow, but he opposes the wicked.

For the ways of a person are in front of the Lord’s eyes, and the Lord weighs all that person’s paths.

For the commandments are like a lamp, instruction is like a light, and rebukes of discipline are like the road leading to life,

The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; I hate arrogant pride and the evil way and perverse utterances.

A wicked person shows boldness with his face, but as for the upright, he discerns his ways.

Train a child in the way that he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.

The one who leads the upright astray in an evil way will himself fall into his own pit, but the blameless will inherit what is good.

This is the way of an adulterous woman: she eats and wipes her mouth and says, “I have not done wrong.”
