Evil men set an ambush for the godly and try to kill them. ¹ 

But the Lord delivers the godly; ¹  he protects them in times of trouble. ² 

But the godly ¹  are happy; they rejoice before God and are overcome with joy. ² 

The godly ¹  grow like a palm tree; they grow high like a cedar in Lebanon. ² 

The godly bask in the light; the morally upright experience joy. ¹ 

You godly ones, rejoice in the Lord! Give thanks to his holy name. ¹ 

When the godly see this, they rejoice, and every sinner ¹  shuts his mouth.

His descendants ¹  will be powerful on the earth; the godly ²  will be blessed.

They celebrate deliverance in the tents of the godly. ¹  The Lord’s right hand conquers, ² 

This is the Lord’s gate – the godly enter through it.

I will protect her priests, ¹  and her godly people will shout exuberantly. ² 

Let the godly rejoice because of their vindication! ¹  Let them shout for joy upon their beds! ² 

Now in fact all who want to live godly lives in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

What if there are fifty godly people in the city? Will you really wipe it out and not spare ¹  the place for the sake of the fifty godly people who are in it?

For this reason ¹  the wicked cannot withstand ²  judgment, ³  nor can sinners join the assembly of the godly. ⁴ 

Certainly ¹  the Lord guards the way of the godly, ²  but the way of the wicked ends in destruction. ³ 

Realize that ¹  the Lord shows the godly special favor; ²  the Lord responds ³  when I cry out to him.

The Lord approves of ¹  the godly, ²  but he ³  hates ⁴  the wicked and those who love to do violence. ⁵ 

Rejoice in the Lord and be happy, you who are godly! Shout for joy, all you who are morally upright! ¹ 

The little bit that a godly man owns is better than the wealth of many evil men, ¹
