For the LORD loves justice and will not forsake His saints. They are preserved forever, but the offspring of the wicked will be cut off.

The mouth of the righteous man utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.

The law of his God is in his heart; his steps do not falter.

Consider the blameless and observe the upright, for posterity awaits the man of peace.

But the transgressors will all be destroyed; the future of the wicked will be cut off.

The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; He is their stronghold in time of trouble.

There is no soundness in my body because of Your anger; there is no rest in my bones because of my sin.

My heart pounds, my strength fails, and even the light of my eyes has faded.

“Show me, O LORD, my end and the measure of my days. Let me know how fleeting my life is.

Remove Your scourge from me; I am perishing by the force of Your hand.

He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.

Rise up; be our help! Redeem us on account of Your loving devotion.
