They have grown fat, they gleam. Yes, they surpass the deeds of the wicked; they do not plead the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may get rich; and they do not judge the right of the needy.

because I delivered the poor who cried out, the fatherless and the one who had no one to help him.

I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; my justice was like a robe and a turban.

I was a father to the needy, and I searched out the case that I did not know.

i1 [A Psalm for Solomon.] i0 par Give the king Your justice, O God, and Your righteousness to the king's Son.

The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.

Defend the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and needy.

Deliver the poor and needy; rescue them out of the hand of the wicked.

For He shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those who condemn his soul.

If you refrain from delivering those being led away to death, those about to die;

if you say, Behold, we did not know it; does not He who ponders the heart consider it? And the Keeper of your soul, does He not know it? And shall He not repay to a man according to his deeds?

Learn to do good, seek justice, set straight the oppressor, judge for the orphan, plead for the widow.

And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies. But they are not mighty for the truth on the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they do not know Me, says Jehovah.

I will also scatter them among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. And I will send a sword after them until I have consumed them.

but let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am Jehovah, doing kindness, justice, and righteousness in the earth; for in these things I delight, says Jehovah.

But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel: After those days, says Jehovah, I will put My Law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

And they shall no more teach each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for they shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says Jehovah. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.

No one is holy like Jehovah, for there is no one besides You, nor is there any rock like our God.

As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Jehovah searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever.

And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; for You, Jehovah, have not forsaken those who seek You.

Then they said to Him, Where is Your Father? Jesus answered, You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.

Jesus answered, If I glorify Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say that He is your God.

Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, I do not know Him, I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His Word.

And these things they will do to you because they do not know the Father nor Me.

And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You sent.

I have manifested Your name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your Word.

They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and reprobate with regard to every good work.

Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.

He who says, I know Him, and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
