2. I have captured Your heart and sight.
I'm Your lily among thorns.
Your banner o'er me is love.
Now I know You delight in me.
3. Forever, Lord, You are a Man.
You came leaping on mountains
To see my face and hear my voice.
Now I know You delight in me.
6 My Eyes have overcome You
I’ve captured Your heart and sight.
I’m Your only perfect one.
Now I know You delight in me.
18 The Lord knows the days of the blameless,
and their heritage will remain forever;
19 they are not put to shame in evil times; in
the days of famine they have abundance.
20 But the wicked will perish; the enemies of
the Lord are like the glory of the pastures; they vanish—like smoke they vanish
21 The wicked borrows but does not pay back,
but the righteous is generous and gives;
22 for those blessed by the Lord shall inherit
the land, but those cursed by him shall be cut off.
23 The steps of a man are established by the
Lord, when he delights in his way;
24 though he fall, he shall not be cast
headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand.
25 I have been young, and now am old, yet I
have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread.
26 He is ever lending generously, and his
children become a blessing.
27 Turn away from evil and do good; so shall
28 For the Lord loves justice; he will not
forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked
29 The righteous shall inherit the land and
30 The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom,
and his tongue speaks justice.
31 The law of his God is in his heart; his
32 The wicked watches for the righteous and
seeks to put him to death.
33 The Lord will not abandon him to his power
or let him be condemned when he is brought to trial.
34 Wait for the Lord and keep his way, and he
will exalt you to inherit the land; you will look on when the wicked are cut
35 I have seen a wicked, ruthless man,
spreading himself like a green laurel tree.
36 But he passed away, and behold, he was no
more; though I sought him, he could not be found.
37 Mark the blameless and behold the upright,
for there is a future for the man of peace.
38 But transgressors shall be altogether
destroyed; the future of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 The salvation of the righteous is from the
Lord; he is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
40 The Lord helps them and delivers them; he
delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him.
