When justice is done, a righteous person is delighted, but troublemakers are terrified.
Hallelujah! Blessed is the person who fears the Lord and is happy to obey his commands.
Your laws make me happy. I never forget your word.
If your teachings had not made me happy, then I would have died in my misery.
I am happy to do your will, O my God.” Your teachings are deep within me.
The way of the Lord is a fortress for an innocent person but a ruin to those who are troublemakers.
A righteous person wisely considers the house of a wicked person. He throws wicked people into disasters.
A person who wanders from the way of wise behavior will rest in the assembly of the dead.

Jesus told them, “My food is to do what the one who sent me wants me to do and to finish the work he has given me.
I take pleasure in God’s standards in my inner being.
