Protection and safetySinLove for othersJustice

8 Zion hears and rejoices, and the towns of Judah exult because of Your judgments, O LORD.

9 For You, O LORD, are Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.

Hate evil, O you who love the LORD! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

11 Light shines on the righteous, gladness on the upright in heart.

12 Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones, and praise His holy name.
