⁷ For the Lord is upright; he is a lover of righteousness: the upright will see his face.

⁷ You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil: and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head, lifting you high over all other kings.

¹⁵ As for me, I will see your face in righteousness: when I am awake it will be joy enough for me to see your form.

⁵ His delight is in righteousness and wisdom; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.

⁴ And they will see his face; and his name will be on their brows.

² My loved ones, now we are children of God, and at present it is not clear what we are to be. We are certain that at his revelation we will be like him; for we will see him as he is.

¹² For the eyes of the Lord are on the upright, and his ears are open to their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.

⁸ For I, the Lord, take pleasure in upright judging; I will not put up with the violent taking away of right; and I will certainly give them their reward, and I will make an eternal agreement with them.

⁸ The Lord makes open the eyes of the blind; the Lord is the lifter up of those who are bent down; the Lord is a lover of the upright;

⁴ The king's power is used for righteousness; you give true decisions, judging rightly in the land of Jacob.

⁵ Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God; for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.

¹⁵ The eyes of the Lord are on the upright, and his ears are open to their cry.

¹⁸ See, the eye of the Lord is on those in whose hearts is the fear of him, on those whose hope is in his mercy;

⁶ For you have made him a blessing for ever: you have given him joy in the light of your face.

¹¹ God is the judge of the upright, and is angry with the evil-doers every day.

⁹ O let the evil of the evil-doer come to an end, but give strength to the upright: for men's minds and hearts are tested by the God of righteousness.

¹² For you, Lord, will send a blessing on the upright man; your grace will be round him, and you will be his strength.

⁷ Lifting them up to the seat of kings, and making them safe for ever.
