1 Love righteousness, you rulers of the earth,
consider the Lord in goodness
and search him with sincerity of coronary heart;
2 as a result of he’s discovered by those that don’t put him to the take a look at,
and manifests himself to those that don’t mistrust him.
3 For perverse ideas separate folks from God,
and when his energy is examined, it exposes the silly;
4 as a result of knowledge won’t enter a deceitful soul,
or dwell in a physique enslaved to sin.
5 For a holy and disciplined spirit will flee from deceit,
and can depart silly ideas behind,
and can be ashamed on the strategy of unrighteousness.
6 For knowledge is a kindly spirit,
however won’t free blasphemers from the guilt of their phrases;
as a result of God is witness of their inmost emotions,
and a real observer of their hearts, and a hearer of their tongues.
7 As a result of the spirit of the Lord has crammed the world,
and that which holds all issues collectively is aware of what is claimed,
8 due to this fact those that utter unrighteous issues won’t escape discover,
and justice, when it punishes, won’t cross them by.
9 For inquiry can be made into the counsels of the ungodly,
and a report of their phrases will come to the Lord,
to convict them of their lawless deeds;
10 as a result of a jealous ear hears all issues,
and the sound of grumbling doesn’t go unheard.
11 Beware then of ineffective grumbling,
and maintain your tongue from slander;
as a result of no secret phrase is with out end result,
and a mendacity mouth destroys the soul.
12 Don’t invite dying by the error of your life,
or convey on destruction by the works of your arms;
13 as a result of God didn’t make dying,
and he doesn’t delight within the dying of the residing.
14 For he created all issues in order that they may exist;
the generative forces of the world are healthful,
and there’s no damaging poison in them,
and the dominion of Hades shouldn’t be on earth.
15 For righteousness is immortal.
