⁴ Do good, O Jehovah, to the good, And to the upright in their hearts.

¹⁸ Whoso is walking uprightly is saved, And the perverted of ways falleth at once.

²⁰ An abomination to Jehovah `are' the perverse of heart, And the perfect of the way `are' His delight.

²¹ For the upright do inhabit the earth, And the perfect are left in it,

² Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed.

¹⁸ For of Jehovah `is' our shield, And of the Holy One of Israel our king.

¹¹ For a sun and a shield `is' Jehovah God, Grace and honour doth Jehovah give. He withholdeth not good To those walking in uprightness.

¹ To the Overseer. -- By a servant of Jehovah, by David, who hath spoken to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul, and he saith: -- I love Thee, O Jehovah, my strength.

² Jehovah `is' my rock, and my bulwark, And my deliverer, My God `is' my rock, I trust in Him: My shield, and a horn of my salvation, My high tower.

³ And Thou, O Jehovah, `art' a shield for me, My honour, and lifter up of my head.

⁶ If pure and upright thou `art', Surely now He waketh for thee, And hath completed The habitation of thy righteousness.

¹ After these things hath the word of Jehovah been unto Abram in a vision, saying, `Fear not, Abram, I `am' a shield to thee, thy reward `is' exceeding great.'
