The LORD is righteous and loves good deeds; those who do them will live in his presence.

The LORD is righteous in all he does, merciful in all his acts.

LORD, from the very beginning you are God. You are my God, holy and eternal. LORD, my God and protector, you have chosen the Babylonians and made them strong so that they can punish us.

But how can you stand these treacherous, evil men? Your eyes are too holy to look at evil, and you cannot stand the sight of people doing wrong. So why are you silent while they destroy people who are more righteous than they are?

God never twists justice; he never fails to do what is right.
