They are absolutely terrified, for God defends the godly.

Rejoice in the Lord and be happy, you who are godly! Shout for joy, all you who are morally upright!

The Lord pays attention to the godly and hears their cry for help.

The godly face many dangers, but the Lord saves them from each one of them.

Evil people self-destruct; those who hate the godly are punished.

for evil men will lose their power, but the Lord sustains the godly.

Evil men borrow, but do not repay their debt, but the godly show compassion and are generous.

The godly speak wise words and promote justice.

But the godly are happy; they rejoice before God and are overcome with joy.

May their names be deleted from the scroll of the living! Do not let their names be listed with the godly!

During his days the godly will flourish; peace will prevail as long as the moon remains in the sky.

God says, “I will bring down all the power of the wicked; the godly will be victorious.”

The godly grow like a palm tree; they grow high like a cedar in Lebanon.

They conspire against the blameless, and condemn to death the innocent.

In the darkness a light shines for the godly, for each one who is merciful, compassionate, and just.

For he will never be upended; others will always remember one who is just.

The Lord is just in all his actions, and exhibits love in all he does.

For this reason the wicked cannot withstand judgment, nor can sinners join the assembly of the godly.

Certainly you reward the godly, Lord. Like a shield you protect them in your good favor.

May lying lips be silenced – lips that speak defiantly against the innocent with arrogance and contempt!
