² He who walks uprightly,
And works righteousness,
And speaks the ^(B)truth in his heart;
³ He who ^(C)does not backbite with his tongue,
Nor does evil to his neighbor,
^(D)Nor does he ^[b]take up a reproach against his friend;
^4 (E)In whose eyes a vile person is despised,
But he honors those who fear the Lord;
He who ^(F)swears to his own hurt and does not change;
⁵ He who does not put out his money at usury,
Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.

He who does these things ^(G)shall never be moved.

In them He has set a ^[d]tabernacle for the sun,
⁵ Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
^(D)And rejoices like a strong man to run its race.
⁶ Its rising is from one end of heaven,
And its circuit to the other end;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

^7 (E)The law of the Lord is perfect, ^[e]converting the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making ^(F)wise the simple;
⁸ The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;
⁹ The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
¹⁰ More to be desired are they than ^(G)gold,
Yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the ^[f]honeycomb.
¹¹ Moreover by them Your servant is warned,
And in keeping them there is great reward.

¹² Who can understand his errors?
^(H)Cleanse me from secret faults.
¹³ Keep back Your servant also from ^(I)presumptuous sins;
Let them not have ^(J)dominion over me.
Then I shall be blameless,
And I shall be innocent of ^[g]great transgression.

^14 (K)Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord, my ^[h]strength and my ^(L)Redeemer.
