I am a companion of all who fear You; yea, of those who keep Your precepts.
My eyes are on the faithful of the land, so that they may dwell with me; he who walks in a perfect way shall serve me.
Turn aside from me, O evildoers, for I will keep my God’s commands.
Let those fearing You turn to me, and ones knowing of Your testimonies.
Because of my brothers and my companions, I will now say, Peace be in you.
Bring my soul out from prison to give thanks to Your name; the righteous ones shall gather around me; for You shall deal bountifully with me.
As for the holy ones in the earth, they are the great ones; all my delight is in them.
One walking with the wise ones shall be wise, but a feeder of fools shall be made evil.
We announce to you that which we have seen, and that which we have heard, that you also may have fellowship with us. And truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.
We know that we have passed from death to life because we love the brothers. The one not loving the brother abides in death.
