¹² You have preserved my life because I am innocent;
    you have brought me into your presence forever.

⁷ He never takes his eyes off the innocent,
    but he sets them on thrones with kings
    and exalts them forever.

¹⁸ I cried out, “I am slipping!”
    but your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me.

²³ Yet I still belong to you;
    you hold my right hand.
²⁴ You guide me with your counsel,
    leading me to a glorious destiny.

⁸ I cling to you;
    your strong right hand holds me securely.

¹⁷ For the strength of the wicked will be shattered,
    but the Lord takes care of the godly.

¹⁵ The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right;
    his ears are open to their cries for help.

²¹ May integrity and honesty protect me,
    for I put my hope in you.

¹⁵ Because I am righteous, I will see you.
    When I awake, I will see you face to face and be satisfied.
