Psalms 26:12

I didn’t sit in the assembly of those who make merry and rejoice. I sat alone because of your hand, for you have filled me with indignation.

One who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.

For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

Behold, their prosperity is not in their hand. The counsel of the wicked is far from me.

He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn’t abhor evil.

But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”

Cast your burden on Yahweh and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

My soul, don’t come into their council. My glory, don’t be united to their assembly; for in their anger they killed men. In their self-will they hamstrung cattle.

Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

My son, don’t walk on the path with them. Keep your foot from their path,

Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, that they might walk in their own counsels.

Whoever walks blamelessly is kept safe; but one with perverse ways will fall suddenly.

Blessed are those who keep justice. Blessed is one who does what is right at all times.

Praise Yah! Blessed is the man who fears Yahweh, who delights greatly in his commandments.

Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God.

If you are wise, you are wise for yourself. If you mock, you alone will bear it.

Good understanding wins favor, but the way of the unfaithful is hard.

Enoch walked with God, and he was not found, for God took him.

As if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshiped him.

Lead me, Yahweh, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before my face.

I will declare your name to my brothers. Among the assembly, I will praise you.

For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.

Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

Happy are the people who are in such a situation. Happy are the people whose God is Yahweh.

“How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? How long will mockers delight themselves in mockery, and fools hate knowledge?

to deliver you from the way of evil, from the men who speak perverse things,

Surely he mocks the mockers, but he gives grace to the humble.

The way of the wicked is like darkness. They don’t know what they stumble over.

Penalties are prepared for scoffers, and beatings for the backs of fools.

through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Therefore put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.

“If I have walked with falsehood, and my foot has hurried to deceit

Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yahweh, his God:

I said to their children in the wilderness, ‘Don’t walk in the statutes of your fathers. Don’t observe their ordinances or defile yourselves with their idols.

If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and have believed.”

You are happy, Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by Yahweh, the shield of your help, the sword of your excellency? Your enemies will submit themselves to you. You will tread on their high places.”

I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.

Teach me your way, Yahweh. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.

A man’s steps are established by Yahweh. He delights in his way.

I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold. I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.

I will give you thanks with my whole heart. Before the gods, I will sing praises to you.

Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning, for I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you.

Yahweh preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but he turns the way of the wicked upside down.

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

for Yahweh will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being taken.

Don’t enter into the path of the wicked. Don’t walk in the way of evil men.

then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.

Who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, and walks with wicked men?

Give sincere homage to the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish on the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.

I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.

Show me your ways, Yahweh. Teach me your paths.

Though he stumble, he shall not fall, for Yahweh holds him up with his hand.

He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay. He set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand.

I declared my ways, and you answered me. Teach me your statutes.

He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.

Then you shall walk in your way securely. Your foot won’t stumble.

“Hear this, house of Jacob, you who are called by the name of Israel, and have come out of the waters of Judah. You swear by Yahweh’s name, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness—

“Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose confidence is in Yahweh.

Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me your way, now, that I may know you, so that I may find favor in your sight; and consider that this nation is your people.”

Let me not be disappointed, Yahweh, for I have called on you. Let the wicked be disappointed. Let them be silent in Sheol.

But as for me, my feet were almost gone. My steps had nearly slipped.

Praise Yahweh, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name!

Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God.

My praise of you comes in the great assembly. I will pay my vows before those who fear him.

I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.

“Bless God in the congregations, even the Lord in the assembly of Israel!”

Praise Yah! I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

My son, if sinners entice you, don’t consent.

Should your springs overflow in the streets, streams of water in the public squares?

He who walks blamelessly walks surely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out.
