The fortunate person avoids socializing with criminals, sinners, and those who are unclean.
He is constantly aware of the most recent changes in society when he is developing new principles, so his arrogance does not go beyond what God will tolerate.
His efforts will pay off at the right time of year, his leaves won’t droop, and his fruit will be healthy and ripe, like a tree that has been placed strategically next to a river or stream.
People who are dishonest are not like trash that is easily blown away by the wind.
This suggests that the unrighteous won’t be present at the judgment, and that lawbreakers won’t be mingling with the righteous.
Because God is on the good path, evil schemes inevitably fail.
Psalm 30
O Lord, I am prepared to sing praises there because you have exalted me and not honored my foes.
I know I have to resist the pull of the abyss, but O Lord, you have redeemed my soul from the depths of hell; you have preserved my life.
Whoever has realized the value of his name should be praising him.
For his suffering to be temporary; to know that support may be found in leaning; for his tears to endure only a night and his laughter to usher in the day.
I’ve also promised myself that I won’t back down, no matter how successful I get.
My mountain has stood the test of time because of you, King; you have veiled your face, and I was once hidden.
O Lord, I pleaded with you; I praised you.
If I’m doomed to the gutters no matter what, there’s no use in risking my life, right? How much do you think the crumbs will shower you with? Believe that it will aid you in being truthful in all that you do.
Lord, look down from heaven and save me; look at me with favor and give me your blessing.
By taking off my restrictive garments and guiding me with such elation, my grief has been transformed into action.
As a result of my respect for you, I want to stop being modest and start appreciating you openly. God, Lord, I’m always up for expressing my appreciation for what you’ve done.
