He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, which gives its fruit at the right time, whose leaves will ever be green; and he will do well in all his undertakings. 4. The evil-doers are not so; but are like the dust from the grain, which the wind takes away. 5. For this cause there will be no mercy for sinners when th

Psalms 8 1. <To the chief music-maker on the Gittith. A Psalm. Of David.> O Lord, our Lord, whose glory is higher than the heavens, how noble is your name in all the earth! 2.

His ways are ever fixed; your decisions are higher than he may see: as for his haters, they are as nothing to him. ; AB Lausanne church

He who goes on his way uprightly, doing righteousness, and saying what is true in his heart; 3. Whose tongue is not false, who does no evil to his friend, and does not take away the good name of his neighbour; 4. Who gives honour to those who have the fear of the Lord, turning away from him who has not the Lord's approval. He who takes an oath against himself, and makes no change. 5. He who does not put out his money at interest, or for payment give false decisions against me
