Integrity and honesty will protect me because I wait for you.
Judge me favorably, O Lord, because I have walked with integrity and I have trusted you without wavering.
But I walk with integrity. Rescue me, and have pity on me.
You defend my integrity, and you set me in your presence forever.
The Lord judges the people of the world. Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, according to my integrity.
Integrity guides decent people, but hypocrisy leads treacherous people to ruin.
A righteous person lives on the basis of his integrity. Blessed are his children after he is gone.
My God sent his angel and shut the lions’ mouths so that they couldn’t hurt me. He did this because he considered me innocent. Your Majesty, I haven’t committed any crime.”
With this belief I always do my best to have a clear conscience in the sight of God and people.
The Lord will reward any person who is righteous and faithful. The Lord handed you over to me today, but I refused to attack the Lord’s anointed king.
