When justice is done, good people are happy, but evil people are ruined.
Praise the Lord! Happy are those who respect the Lord, who want what he commands.
I enjoy obeying your demands, and I will not forget your word.
If I had not loved your teachings, I would have died from my sufferings.
My God, I want to do what you want. Your teachings are in my heart.”
The Lord will protect good people but will ruin those who do evil.
God, who is always right, watches the house of the wicked and brings ruin on every evil person.
Whoever does not use good sense will end up among the dead.
My son, don’t be held captive by a woman who takes part in adultery. Don’t fondle a woman who is not your wife.
So I realize that the best thing for them is to be happy and enjoy themselves as long as they live.
You help those who enjoy doing good, who remember how you want them to live. But you were angry because we sinned. For a long time we disobeyed, so how can we be saved?
Then I will tell them clearly, ‘Get away from me, you who do evil. I never knew you.’
Jesus said, “My food is to do what the One who sent me wants me to do and to finish his work.
In my mind, I am happy with God’s law.
