Psalms 17:2

Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Yahweh upholds the righteous.

For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those who judge his soul.

the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,

“So let all your enemies perish, Yahweh, but let those who love him be as the sun when it rises in its strength.” Then the land had rest forty years.

Life will be clearer than the noonday. Though there is darkness, it will be as the morning.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation. Uphold me with a willing spirit.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways,” says Yahweh.

I will bear the indignation of Yahweh, because I have sinned against him, until he pleads my case, and executes judgment for me. He will bring me out to the light. I will see his righteousness.

knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.

that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without defect.

yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without defect and blameless before him,

May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

He who acts unjustly, let him act unjustly still. He who is filthy, let him be filthy still. He who is righteous, let him do righteousness still. He who is holy, let him be holy still.”

May it be far from you to do things like that, to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be like the wicked. May that be far from you. Shouldn’t the Judge of all the earth do right?”

I have called on you, for you will answer me, God. Turn your ear to me. Hear my speech.

Hear my prayer, Yahweh. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.

You are righteous, Yahweh, when I contend with you; yet I would like to reason the cause with you. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are they all at ease who deal very treacherously?

‘Yahweh has produced our righteousness: come, and let’s declare in Zion the work of Yahweh our God.’

“Therefore I will judge you, house of Israel, everyone according to his ways,” says the Lord Yahweh. “Return, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity will not be your ruin.

“Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and tell them, ‘When I bring the sword on a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him for their watchman;

Yahweh, within her, is righteous. He will do no wrong. Every morning he brings his justice to light. He doesn’t fail, but the unjust know no shame.

You have wearied Yahweh with your words. Yet you say, ‘How have we wearied him?’ In that you say, ‘Everyone who does evil is good in Yahweh’s sight, and he delights in them;’ or ‘Where is the God of justice?’

Therefore be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.

And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.

that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ—

In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless.

The eternal God is your dwelling place. Underneath are the everlasting arms. He thrust out the enemy from before you, and said, ‘Destroy!’

You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.

In you, Yahweh, I take refuge. Let me never be disappointed. Deliver me in your righteousness.

he will make your righteousness shine out like light, and your justice as the noon day sun.

Take reproach and contempt away from me, for I have kept your statutes.

Revive me, Yahweh, for your name’s sake. In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.

that he may guard the paths of justice, and preserve the way of his saints.

No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is of me,” says Yahweh.

Then your light will break out as the morning, and your healing will appear quickly; then your righteousness shall go before you, and Yahweh’s glory will be your rear guard.

and if you pour out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light will rise in darkness, and your obscurity will be as the noonday;

Therefore Yahweh says, “If you return, then I will bring you again, that you may stand before me; and if you take out the precious from the vile, you will be as my mouth. They will return to you, but you will not return to them.

Go to them of the captivity, to the children of your people, and speak to them, and tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Yahweh says,’ whether they will hear, or whether they will refuse.

Lord, according to all your righteousness, let your anger and please let your wrath be turned away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain; because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people have become a reproach to all who are around us.

He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it was founded on the rock.

God, having raised up his servant Jesus, sent him to you first to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your wickedness.”

No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;

For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

But because you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice, that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.

Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness?

“Behold, I will answer you. In this you are not just, for God is greater than man.

“Do you think this to be your right, or do you say, ‘My righteousness is more than God’s,’

Will you even annul my judgment? Will you condemn me, that you may be justified?

For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.

In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.

Yahweh will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.

Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me.

The foolishness of man subverts his way; his heart rages against Yahweh.

For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.

“Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not equal.’ Hear now, house of Israel: Is my way not equal? Aren’t your ways unequal?

Yet the house of Israel says, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair.’ House of Israel, aren’t my ways fair? Aren’t your ways unfair?

“ ‘Yet the children of your people say, “The way of the Lord is not fair;” but as for them, their way is not fair.

Yet you say, “The way of the Lord is not fair.” House of Israel, I will judge every one of you after his ways.’ ”

Then you shall return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him who serves God and him who doesn’t serve him.

Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.

and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.

What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Who are you who judge another’s servant? To his own lord he stands or falls. Yes, he will be made to stand, for God has power to make him stand.

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.

For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory,

For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ that each one may receive the things in the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. For I married you to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Christ.

When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.

But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear. So I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

Now to him who is able to keep them from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great joy,

“Behold, I come quickly. My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work.
