12 But as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne doth he even set them for ever; and they are exalted.
Thou wilt make known to me the path of life: thy countenance is fulness of joy; at thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
The eyes of Jehovah are upon the righteous, and his ears are toward their cry;
My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden my right hand; Thou wilt guide me by thy counsel, and after the glory, thou wilt receive me.
