When a just man dies he leaves regret, but the destruction of the ungodly is speedy, and causes joy.

Righteousness traces out blameless paths, but ungodliness encounters unjust dealing.

The righteousness of upright men delivers them, but transgressors are caught in their own destruction.

He that walks blameless, and works righteousness, who speaks truth in his heart.

The harmless and upright joined themselves to me; for I waited for You, O Lord.

[A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in my innocence; and hoping in the Lord I shall not be moved.

Iniquities ensnare a man, and everyone is bound in the chains of his own sins.

A righteous man understands the hearts of the ungodly, and despises the ungodly for their wickedness.

I will seek after the gods of Damascus that attack me. And he said, Forasmuch as the gods of the king of Syria themselves strengthen them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, and they will help me. But they became a stumbling block to him, and to all Israel.

A talkative man shall not prosper on the earth: evils shall hunt the unrighteous man to destruction.
