23  Love the Lord, all you his ^gsaints!

The Lord preserves the faithful

but abundantly ^hrepays the one who acts in pride.

28  For the Lord ^qloves justice;

he will not forsake his ^rsaints.

They are preserved forever,

but the children of the wicked shall be ^scut off.

4  Behold, he who keeps Israel

will neither slumber nor sleep.

20  The Lord ^lpreserves all who love him,

but all the wicked he will destroy.

8  guarding the paths of justice

and ^dwatching over the way of his ^esaints.
