⁴ O Lord, do good to those who are good,
    whose hearts are in tune with you.

¹⁸ The blameless will be rescued from harm,
    but the crooked will be suddenly destroyed.

²⁰ The Lord detests people with crooked hearts,
    but he delights in those with integrity.

²¹ For only the godly will live in the land,
    and those with integrity will remain in it.

¹⁸ Yes, our protection comes from the Lord,
    and he, the Holy One of Israel, has given us our king.

¹¹ For the Lord God is our sun and our shield.
    He gives us grace and glory.
The Lord will withhold no good thing
    from those who do what is right.

³ But you, O Lord, are a shield around me;
    you are my glory, the one who holds my head high.

⁶ and if you are pure and live with integrity,
    he will surely rise up and restore your happy home.
