Promises to the Righteous
New Living Translation
ISAIAH 3:10 But all will be well for those who are godly. Tell them, “You will receive a wonderful reward!”
PSALMS 5:12 For you bless the godly, O LORD, surrounding them with your shield of love
PSALMS
34:15,17,19 The eyes of the LORD watch over those who do right;
his ears are open to their cries for help…… The LORD hears his people
when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their
troubles. The righteous face many troubles, but the LORD rescues them
from each and every one. For the LORD protects them from harm—not one
of their bones will be broken!
PSALMS
37:17,18,19,23,24,25,26,30- 40 but the LORD takes
care of the godly. Day by day the LORD takes care of the innocent, and
they will receive a reward that lasts forever. They will survive
through hard times; even in famine they will have more than enough….but
the godly are generous givers. Those blessed by the LORD will inherit
the land, but those cursed by him will die. The steps of the godly are
directed by the LORD. He delights in every detail of their lives Though
they stumble, they will not fall, for the LORD holds them by the hand.
Once I was young, and now I am old. Yet I have never seen the godly
forsaken, nor seen their children begging for bread. The godly always
give generous loans to others, and their children are a blessing.28For
the LORD loves justice, and he will never abandon the godly. He will
keep them safe forever, 29The godly will inherit the land and will live
there forever. 30The godly offer good counsel; they know what is right
from wrong. 31They fill their hearts with God’s law, so they will never
slip from his path. 32Those who are evil spy on the godly, waiting for
an excuse to kill them. 33But the LORD will not let the wicked succeed
or let the godly be condemned when they are brought before the judge.
34Don’t be impatient for the LORD to act! Travel steadily along his
path. He will honor you, giving you the land. You will see the wicked
destroyed. 35I myself have seen it happen— proud and evil people
thriving like mighty trees. 36But when I looked again, they were gone!
Though I searched for them, I could not find them! 37Look at those who
are honest and good, for a wonderful future lies before those who love
peace. 38But the wicked will be destroyed; they have no future. 39The
LORD saves the godly; he is their fortress in times of trouble. 40The
LORD helps them, rescuing them from the wicked. He saves them, and they
find shelter in him.
Psalms 55:22 Give your
burdens to the LORD, and he will take care of you. He will not permit
the godly to slip and fall.
Psalms 92:12-15 But the godly will
flourish like palm trees and grow strong like the cedars of
Lebanon.13For they are transplanted into the LORD’s own house. They
flourish in the courts of our God.14Even in old age they will still
produce fruit; they will remain vital and green.15They will declare,
“The LORD is just! He is my rock! There is nothing but goodness in
him!”
Psalms 97:10-11 You who love the LORD, hate evil! He
protects the lives of his godly people and rescues them from the power
of the wicked. 11Light shines on the godly, and joy on those who do
right
Psalms 112 1 Praise the LORD! Happy
are those who fear the LORD. Yes, happy are those who delight in doing
what he commands.2Their children will be successful everywhere; an
entire generation of godly people will be blessed. 3They themselves
will be wealthy, and their good deeds will never be forgotten.4When
darkness overtakes the godly, light will come bursting in. They are
generous, compassionate, and righteous. 5All goes well for those who
are generous, who lend freely and conduct their business fairly. 6Such
people will not be overcome by evil circumstances. Those who are
righteous will be long remembered. 7They do not fear bad news; they
confidently trust the LORD to care for them.8They are confident and
fearless and can face their foes triumphantly.9They give generously to
those in need. Their good deeds will never be forgotten. They will have
influence and honor.10The wicked will be infuriated when they see this.
They will grind their teeth in anger; they will slink away, their hopes
thwarted.
Proverbs 2:7-8 He grants a treasure of good sense
to the godly. He is their shield, protecting those who walk with
integrity. 8 He guards the paths of justice and protects those who are
faithful to him.
Proverbs 3:33 ….his (The Lord’s) blessing is on the home of the upright.
Proverbs
4:18 The way of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, which
shines ever brighter until the full light of day
Proverbs
10:2,3,6,10,11,20,21,22,24,25,28,29,30.31 … right living can save
your life.3 The LORD will not let the godly starve to death,6 The godly
are showered with blessings;11 The words of the godly lead to life; 20
The words of the godly are like sterling silver; the heart of a fool is
worthless.21 The godly give good advice… 22 The blessing of the LORD
makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow with it. 24 The fears of the
wicked will all come true; so will the hopes of the godly. 25 Disaster
strikes like a cyclone, whirling the wicked away, but the godly have a
lasting foundation…. 27 Fear of the LORD lengthens one’s life, but the
years of the wicked are cut short. 28 The hopes of the godly result in
happiness, but the expectations of the wicked are all in vain. 29 The
LORD protects the upright but destroys the wicked. 30 The godly will
never be disturbed, but the wicked will be removed from the land.31 The
godly person gives wise advice, but the tongue that deceives will be
cut off. 32 The godly speak words that are helpful, but the wicked
speak only what is corrupt.
Proverbs 11:3-6,8-9,21,28,30,31
3 Good people are guided by their honesty; treacherous people are
destroyed by their dishonesty.4 Riches won’t help on the day of
judgment, but right living is a safeguard against death.5 The godly are
directed by their honesty; the wicked fall beneath their load of sin.6
The godliness of good people rescues them; the ambition of treacherous
people traps them.7 When the wicked die, their hopes all perish, for
they rely on their own feeble strength.8 God rescues the godly from
danger, but he lets the wicked fall into trouble.9 Evil words destroy
one’s friends; wise discernment rescues the godly..21 You can be sure
that evil people will be punished, but the children of the godly will
go free…..23 The godly can look forward to happiness, while the wicked
can expect only wrath. 24 It is possible to give freely and become more
wealthy, but those who are stingy will lose everything. 25 The generous
prosper and are satisfied; those who refresh others will themselves be
refreshed.27 If you search for good, you will find favor; but if you
search for evil, it will find you!28 Trust in your money and down you
go! But the godly flourish like leaves in spring…..30 The godly are
like trees that bear life-giving fruit, and those who save lives are
wise.31 If the righteous are rewarded here on earth, how much more true
that the wicked and the sinner will get what they deserve!
Proverbs
12:2,3,6,7,12,13,14,21,28 2 The LORD approves of those who are
good, but he condemns those who plan wickedness.3 …… only the godly
have deep roots.6 ….. the words of the godly save lives.7 …the
children of the godly stand firm.12 …..the godly bear their own
fruit.13 The wicked are trapped by their own words, but the godly
escape such trouble.14 People can get many good things by the words
they say; the work of their hands also gives them many benefits.21 No
real harm befalls the godly, but the wicked have their fill of
trouble.28 The way of the godly leads to life; their path does not lead
to death.
Proverbs 13:6,21,22 6 Godliness helps people all
through life, …21 Trouble chases sinners, while blessings chase the
righteous!22 Good people leave an inheritance to their grandchildren,
but the sinner’s wealth passes to the godly.
Proverbs 14:11 11 The house of the wicked will perish, but the tent of the godly will flourish.
Proverbs 15:6,8,19 6 There is treasure in the house of the godly, but the earnings of the wicked bring trouble..

prayers of the upright.19 ….the path of the upright is easy!
