1 The Lord is faithful to them that love Him in truth: even to them that abide His chastening: to them who walk in righteousness in His commandments: He has given us the Law for our life:

2 and the saints of the Lord shall live thereby for ever. The Paradise of the Lord, the trees of life, are His saints:

3 and the planting of them is sure for ever; nor shall they be rooted up all the days of the heaven. For the portion of the Lord and His inheritance is Israel.

4 Not so are the sinners and evil men, those who have loved a day in the participation of sin: for in the brevity of wickedness is their lust;

5 and they did not remember GOD; that the ways of the children of men are open before Him continually: and the secrets of the heart He knoweth before they come to pass:

6 therefore their inheritance is Sheol, and Perdition and Darkness: and in the day of mercy upon the righteous they shall not be found.

7 For the saints of the Lord shall inherit life in delight.
