Integrity and honesty will protect me because I wait for you.
Integrity guides decent people, but hypocrisy leads treacherous people to ruin.
You defend my integrity, and you set me in your presence forever.
With this belief I always do my best to have a clear conscience in the sight of God and people.
But I walk with integrity. Rescue me, and have pity on me.
Judge me favorably, O Lord, because I have walked with integrity and I have trusted you without wavering.
A righteous person lives on the basis of his integrity. Blessed are his children after he is gone.
The Lord judges the people of the world. Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, according to my integrity.
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.”
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.
