אֱמֶת

if you then have dealt truly and righteously with Jerubbaal and with his house today, then rejoice in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you;

Only fear Yahweh, and serve him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things he has done for you.

Now may Yahweh show loving kindness and truth to you. I also will reward you for this kindness, because you have done this thing.

Whereas you came but yesterday, should I today make you go up and down with us, since I go where I may? Return, and take back your brothers. Mercy and truth be with you.”

Then Yahweh may establish his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, ‘If your children are careful of their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail you,’ he said, ‘a man on the throne of Israel.’

Solomon said, “You have shown to your servant David my father great loving kindness, because he walked before you in truth, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with you. You have kept for him this great loving kindness, that you have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is today.

“Remember now, Yahweh, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

Hezekiah did so throughout all Judah; and he did that which was good, right, and faithful before Yahweh his God.

After these things and this faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, entered into Judah, and encamped against the fortified cities, and intended to win them for himself.

I put my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the governor of the fortress, in charge of Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many.

However you are just in all that has come on us; for you have dealt truly, but we have done wickedly.

All the paths of Yahweh are loving kindness and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.

“What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?

Into your hand I commend my spirit. You redeem me, Yahweh, God of truth.

I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart. I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation. I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great assembly.

Don’t withhold your tender mercies from me, Yahweh. Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.

He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.

He will send from heaven, and save me, he rebukes the one who is pursuing me. God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.

For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies.

He shall be enthroned in God’s presence forever. Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

But as for me, my prayer is to you, Yahweh, in an acceptable time. God, in the abundance of your loving kindness, answer me in the truth of your salvation.

I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God. I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.

Mercy and truth meet together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

Truth springs out of the earth. Righteousness has looked down from heaven.

But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Loving kindness and truth go before your face.

He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.

For your loving kindness is great above the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

The works of his hands are truth and justice. All his precepts are sure.

They are established forever and ever. They are done in truth and uprightness.

Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.

For his loving kindness is great toward us. Yahweh’s faithfulness endures forever. Praise Yah!

Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.

I will bow down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your Word above all.

who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever;

Don’t let kindness and truth forsake you. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart.

Don’t they go astray who plot evil? But love and faithfulness belong to those who plan good.

By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for. By the fear of Yahweh men depart from evil.

Love and faithfulness keep the king safe. His throne is sustained by love.
