The path of the righteous is level; you make level the way of the righteous.
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous.
For our boast is this, the testimony of our conscience, that we behaved in the world with simplicity and godly sincerity, not by earthly wisdom but by the grace of God, and supremely so toward you.
And I will lead the blind in a way that they do not know, in paths that they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. These are the things I do, and I do not forsake them.

The righteous who walks in his integrity— blessed are his children after him!
For the Lord is righteous; he loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold his face.
Far be it from me to say that you are right; till I die I will not put away my integrity from me. I hold fast my righteousness and will not let it go; my heart does not reproach me for any of my days.
Therefore do not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes, who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. Then each one will receive his commendation from God.

With the merciful you show yourself merciful; with the blameless man you show yourself blameless; with the purified you show yourself pure; and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.
for the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
(Let me be weighed in a just balance, and let God know my integrity!)

“There is none holy like the Lord: for there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God. Talk no more so very proudly, let not arrogance come from your mouth; for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. The bows of the mighty are broken, but the feeble bind on strength.

The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord's throne is in heaven; his eyes see, his eyelids test the children of man.
