You are good to me, LORD, because I do right, and you reward me because I am innocent.
You have been good to me because I do right; you have rewarded me for being innocent by your standards.
Solomon answered: My father David, your servant, was honest and did what you commanded. You were always loyal to him, and you gave him a son who is now king.
Listen from heaven and decide who is right. Then punish the guilty person and let the innocent one go free.
They would do the right thing and because they did, they would grow stronger.
By your teachings, Lord, I am warned; by obeying them, I am greatly rewarded.
Only those who do right for the right reasons, and don't worship idols or tell lies under oath.
Our LORD, judge the nations! Judge me and show that I am honest and innocent.
If good people are rewarded here on this earth, all who are cruel and mean will surely be punished.
My dear friends, stand firm and don't be shaken. Always keep busy working for the Lord. You know that everything you do for him is worthwhile.
Come near to God, and he will come near to you. Clean up your lives, you sinners. Purify your hearts, you people who can't make up your mind.
The LORD put you in my power today, but you are his chosen king and I wouldn't harm you. The LORD rewards people who are faithful and live right.
