The Lord supports all who fall, and lifts up all who are bent over.

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

The Lord is near all who cry out to him, all who cry out to him sincerely.

How blessed is the one whose helper is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God,

The Lord lifts up the oppressed, but knocks the wicked to the ground.

The Lord takes delight in his faithful followers, and in those who wait for his loyal love.

Extol the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!

Let them praise the name of the Lord, for he gave the command and they came into existence.

Praise the Lord from the earth, you sea creatures and all you ocean depths,

For the Lord takes delight in his people; he exalts the oppressed by delivering them.

Fearing the Lord is the beginning of moral knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Because they hated moral knowledge, and did not choose to fear the Lord,

then you will understand how to fear the Lord, and you will discover knowledge about God.

For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.

Honor the Lord from your wealth and from the first fruits of all your crops;

My child, do not despise discipline from the Lord, and do not loathe his rebuke.

By wisdom the Lord laid the foundation of the earth; he established the heavens by understanding.

for the Lord will be the source of your confidence, and he will guard your foot from being caught in a trap.

for one who goes astray is an abomination to the Lord, but he reveals his intimate counsel to the upright.

The Lord’s curse is on the household of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous.
