the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord?.....Justice

house, O Lord, for ever" (Ps.93:5).

devises mischief upon his bed; he sets himself in a way that is
not good; he abhors not evil" (Ps.36:1-2,4).

are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that
does good......The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children
of men, to see if there was any that did understand, and seek
God. They are all gone aside, they are altogether become filthy:
there is none that does good, no, not one" (Ps.14:1-3).
See also Psalm 53:2-3.

Lord......" (Ps.32:5).

they are too heavy for me......For I will declare mine iniquity;

and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than
snow......Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all mine
iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right
spirit within me.....The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a
broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise"

as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our
transgressions from us. Like as a father pities his children, so
the Lord pities them that fear Him. For He knows our frame; He
remembers that we are dust.....But the mercy of the Lord is from
everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him, and His
righteousness unto children's children; To such as keep His
covenant, and to those that remember His commandments to do them"

over unto death: (Ps.118:18).

your words. I entreated your favor with my whole heart: be

delayed not to keep your commandments. The bands of the wicked

the righteous, and His ears are open unto their cry. the face of
the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance
of them from the earth" (Ps.34:11-16).

delights in His way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast
down: for the Lord upholds him with His hand" (Ps.37:23,24).

declare my statutes, or that you should take my covenant in your
mouth? Seeing you hate instruction, and cast my words behind
you......Now consider this, you that forget God, lest I tear you

glorifies me: and to him that disposes his way aright will I show
the salvation of God" (Ps.50:16,17,22,23).

See also: Ps.119:67, 71-73, 76-77, 153-155, 165, 166, 174, 176
GRACE, MERCY, DOES NOT ABOLISH THE LAW
OR COMMANDMENTS OF GOD:
"Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and put your trust in
the Lord" (Ps.4:5).
"Lord, who shall abide in your tabernacle? who shall dwell
in your holy hill? He that walks uprightly, and works
righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart. He that
backbites not with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbor,
takes up a reproach against his neighbor. In whose eyes a vile
person is condemned; but he honors them that fear the Lord. He
that swears to his own hurt, and charges not. He that puts not
out money to usury, nor takes reward against the innocent. He
that does these things shall never be moved" (Ps.15).
"The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; the
testimony of the Lord is sure , making wise the simple. The
statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the
commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear
of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the
Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are
they than gold, yes, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey
and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is your servant warned: and
in keeping of them there is great reward" (Ps.19"7-11).
"Who can understand his error? cleanse you me from secret
faults. Keep back your servant from presumptuous sins, let them
not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall
be innocent from the great transgression" (Ps.19:12,13).
"Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk after the
law of the Lord. Blessed are they that keep His testimonies, and
seek Him with the whole heart. They also do no iniquity: they
walk in His ways. You have commanded us to keep your precepts
diligently......Then shall I not be ashamed when I have respect
unto your commandments........With my whole heart have I sought
you: O let me not wander from your commandments.......Open mine
eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.......I
will run the way of your commandments, when you shall enlarge my
heart.......Give me understanding, and I shall keep your law;
yes, I shall observe it with my whole heart. Make me to go in the
path of your commandments; for therein do I delight.......And I
will walk at liberty for I seek your precepts. I will speak of
your testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. And
I will delight myself in your commandments, which I have loved.
My hands also will I lift up unto your commandments, which I have
loved; and I will meditate in your statutes.......O how love
I your law! it is my meditation all the day. You through your
commandments have made me wiser than my enemies: for they are
ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers: for
your testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the
ancients, because I keep your precepts. I have refrained my feet
from every evil way, that I might keep your word.......Your word
is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.......My soul is
continually in my hand: yet do I not forget your law.......I have
inclined my heart to perform your statutes, even unto the end. I
hate vain thoughts: but your law do I love.......It is time for
you, Lord, to work: for they have made void your law. Therefore
I love your commandments above gold; yes, above fine gold.......I
opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for your
commandments........rivers of water run down my eyes, because
they keep not your law.......Your righteousness is an everlasting
righteousness, and your law is the truth. Trouble and anguish
have taken hold of me: yet your commandments are my
delights....You are near, O Lord; and all your commandments
are truth.......for all your commandments are righteousness....I
have longed for your salvation, O Lord; and your law is my
delight.......I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your
servant; for I do not forget your commandments" (Ps.119: 1-4,
6-7, 10, 18, 32, 34-35, 45-48, 97-100, 105, 109, 112-113,
126-127, 131, 136, 142-143, 151, 172, 174, 176)
Read this whole 119th Psalm, there are many other verses I
have not quoted, that give the truth that grace does not abolish
the law and commandments of God.
THE REWARD OF THE RIGHTEOUS AND THE WICKED
"Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the
ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat
of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and
in His law does he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a
tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit
in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he
does shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the
chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the ungodly shall not
stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the
righteous. For the Lord knows the way of the righteous: but the
way of the ungodly shall perish" (Ps.1).
"Fret not yourself because of evildoers, neither be you
envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be
cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb....... For
evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord,
they shall inherit the earth. For yet a little while, and the
wicked shall not be: yes, you shall diligently consider his
place, and it shall not be. but the meek shall inherit the
earth.......The Lord knows the days of the upright: and their
inheritance shall be forever. They shall not be ashamed of the
evil time....But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the
Lord shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke
shall they consume away.......For such as be blessed of Him shall
inherit the earth; and they that are cursed of Him shall be cut
off.......For the Lord loves judgment, and forsakes not His
saints; they are preserved forever: but the seed of the wicked
shall be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell
therein for ever.......Wait on the Lord, and keep His way, and He
shall exalt you to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off,
you shall see it.......But the transgressors shall be destroyed
together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off" (Ps.37:1-2,
9-11, 18-20, 22, 28-29, 34, 38).
"Also unto you, O Lord, belongs mercy: for you render to
every man according to his work" (Ps.62:12).
"Whoso privately slanders his neighbor, him will I cut off:
him that has a high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
Mine eye shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may
dwell with me: he that walks in a perfect way, he shall serve me.
He that works deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that
lies shall not tarry in my sight. I will destroy all the wicked
of the land; that I may cut off all the wicked doers from the
city of the Lord" (Ps.101:5-8).
"Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the
wicked be no more. bless you the Lord, O my soul. Praise you the
Lord" (Ps.104:35).
"You have trodden down all them that err from your statutes:
for their deeds is falsehood. You put away all the wicked of the
earth like dross: therefore I love your testimonies"
(Ps.119:118-119).
"The Lord preserves them that love Him: but all the wicked
will He destroy" (Ps.145:20).
THE WAY OF SALVATION IS SO WRITTEN
For those who are having difficulty understanding Law and
Grace as taught in the New Testament, with Scripture verses that
seem to contradict each other, please study my in-depth study
article called "Saved by Grace" and the truth will be made plain
for you. There is no contradiction between the basic way of
slavation in either the Old or the New Covenants of your Bible.
