I will give thanks unto You with uprightness of heart, when I learn Your righteous Judgments.

At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You, because of Your righteous judgments.

Therefore all Your Precepts have been esteemed upright; I have hated every false way.

Your Word is truth since the beginning, and every one of Your righteous judgments is everlasting.

He is the Rock, His work is perfect; for all His ways are justice, a Mighty God of truth and without injustice; righteous and upright is He.

For He does not lay more upon man, that he should go before the Mighty God in judgment.

Righteous are You, O Jehovah, when I complain to You; yet let me speak with You about Your judgments. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are all those who deceive with treachery at ease?

Far be it from You to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be as the wicked; far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

Let it not be! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar. As it is written: That You may be found just in Your words, and may win the case when You are judged.

But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust who lays on wrath? (I speak as a man.)

All the paths of Jehovah are mercy and truth, to those who keep His Covenant and His Testimonies.

If his sons forsake My Law and do not walk in My justice,

then I will punish their transgression with the rod, and their perversities with strokes.

For they indeed for a few days disciplined us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness.

Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised by it.

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.
