The Lord gives sight to those who are blind. The Lord lifts up those who feel helpless. The Lord loves those who do what is right.The Lord watches over the outsiders who live in our land. He takes good care of children whose fathers have died. He also takes good care of widows. But he causes evil people to fail in everything they do.

He shows those who aren’t proud how to do what is right. He teaches them his ways.

He raises poor people up from the trash pile. He lifts needy people out of the ashes. He lets them sit with princes. He gives them places of honor.“ The foundations of the earth belong to the Lord. On them he has set the world.

Be humble in front of the Lord. And he will lift you up.

So make yourselves humble. Put yourselves under God’s mighty hand. Then he will honor you at the right time.

Instead, your beauty comes from inside you. It is the beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit. Beauty like this doesn’t fade away. God places great value on it.

God, I’m sure you will make them slip and fall. You will throw them down and destroy them.It will happen very suddenly. A terrible death will take them away completely.

But those who are free of pride will be given the land. They will enjoy peace and success.

God did not spare angels when they sinned. Instead, he sent them to hell. He chained them up in dark prisons. He will keep them there until he judges them.God did not spare the world’s ungodly people long ago. He brought the flood on them. But Noah preached about the right way to live. God kept him safe. He also saved seven others.God judged the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. He burned them to ashes. He made them an example of what is going to happen to ungodly people.God saved Lot, a man who did what was right. Lot was shocked by the evil conduct of people who didn’t obey God’s laws.That good man lived among them day after day. He saw and heard the evil things they were doing. They were breaking God’s laws. And the godly spirit of Lot was deeply troubled.Since all this is true, then the Lord knows how to save godly people. He knows how to keep them safe in times of testing. The Lord also knows how to keep ungodly people under guard. He will do so until the day they will be judged and punished.

The Lord takes delight in his people. He awards with victory those who are humble.

So look to him, all you people in the land who worship him faithfully. You always do what he commands you to do. Continue to do what is right. Don’t be proud. Then perhaps the Lord will keep you safe on the day he pours out his anger on the world.

God, you will bring sinners down to the grave. Murderers and liars won’t live out even half of their lives. But I trust in you.
