15 Their ways bare everb before Him,

They are not hid from His eyesc.

17 [dFor every nation He appointed a ruler,

But Israel is the Lord’s portione].

G 19 All their works fare [clear]f as the sun before Him,

gAnd His eyes are continually upon their waysg.

20 Their iniquities are not hid from Him,

And all htheir sinsh are [inscribed]i before the Lordk.

22 The righteousnessl of menm nis to Him as a signetn,

And the mercyo of man He preservethp as the apple of an eyeq.

23 Afterwards rHe will rise upr and recompense them,

And will visits their deedst upon their own headu.

24 Nevertheless to them that repent doth He grant a returnv,

And wcomforteth them that lose hopew x.
