I am a companion of all who fear you, of those who keep your precepts.
I will look with favor on the faithful in the land, so that they may live with me; whoever walks in the way that is blameless shall minister to me.
Go away from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God.
Let those who fear you turn to me, so that they may know your decrees.
For the sake of my relatives and friends I will say, “Peace be within you.”
Bring me out of prison, so that I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, for you will deal bountifully with me.
As for the holy ones in the land, they are the noble, in whom is all my delight.
Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools suffers harm.
we declare to you what we have seen and heard so 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 one another. Whoever does not love abides in death.
