6 Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for;through the fear of the Lord evil is avoided.
7 When the Lord takes pleasure in anyone’s way,he causes their enemies to make peace with them.
8 Better a little with righteousnessthan much gain with injustice.
9 In their hearts humans plan their course,but the Lord establishes their steps.
10 The lips of a king speak as an oracle,and his mouth does not betray justice.
11 Honest scales and balances belong to the Lord;all the weights in the bag are of his making.
12 Kings detest wrongdoing,for a throne is established through righteousness.
