 Oh, that Israel’s deliverance would come out of Zion! * when the restores the fortunes of his people, Jacob will rejoice and Israel be glad.

, who may dwell in your tabernacle? * who may abide upon your holy hill?

Whoever leads a blameless life and does what is right, * who speaks the truth from his heart.

There is no guile upon his tongue; he does no evil to his friend; * he does not heap contempt upon his neighbor.

In his sight the wicked is rejected, * but he honors those who fear the.

He has sworn to do no wrong * and does not take back his word.

He does not give his money in hope of gain, * nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.

Whoever does these things * shall never be overthrown.

Protect me, O God, for I take refuge in you; * I have said to the, “You are my Lord, my good above all other.”
