And take notice: Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the Lord; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, for all the king’s matters; also the Levites will be officials before you. Behave courageously, and the Lord will be with the good.”

The Lord knows the days of the upright,And their inheritance shall be forever.

For the Lord God is a sun and shield;The Lord will give grace and glory;No good thing will He withholdFrom those who walk uprightly.

The Lord lifts up the humble;He casts the wicked down to the ground.

For the Lord takes pleasure in His people;He will beautify the humble with salvation.

Good and upright is the Lord;Therefore He teaches sinners in the way.

Good and upright is the Lord;Therefore He teaches sinners in the way.

The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him,And He will show them His covenant.

“Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments;

For the Lord loves justice,And does not forsake His saints;They are preserved forever,But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off.
