The Righteous

Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself; the LORD will hear when I call to him. (Psa 4:3).
But let you all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. (Psa 5:11)
for surely, o Lord, You bless the righteous; You surround them with your favor as with a shield (Psa 5:12)
The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble (Psa 9:9).
You hear, o Lord, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and You listen to their cry, defending the fatherless and the oppressed (Psa 10:17-18)
... For God is present in the company of the righteous. You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor, but the Lord is their refuge (Psa 14:5-6).
Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent?
Who may live on your holy mountain?
The one whose walk is blameless, who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from their heart; whose tongue utters no slander, who does no wrong to a neighbor,and casts no slur on others; who despises a vile person but honors those who fear the Lord; who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and does not change their mind; who lends money to the poor without interest; who does not accept a bribe against the innocent. Whoever does these things will never be shaken. (psa 15)
