10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.
In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
