⁷ For the Lord is righteous;
he ^(A)loves righteous deeds;
    ^(B)the upright shall behold his face.

^{7     (A)}you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness.
Therefore ^(B)God, your God, has ^(C)anointed you
    with the oil of ^(D)gladness ^(E)beyond your companions;

⁷ He does not withdraw his ^(A)eyes from the righteous,
    but with ^(B)kings on the throne
    he sets them forever, and they are ^(C)exalted.

¹² For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
    and his ears are open to their prayer.
But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
