PROMISES OF BLESSING ON THE RIGHTEOUS IN OLD TESTAMENT


"Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. . . . For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.” ( Psalm 1:1-3, 6)
"For surely, O Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.”( Psalm 5:12  )
"Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who finds great delight in his commands. . . . Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man.”( Psalm 112:1, 4 )

"Blessed are they whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord. Blessed are they who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart. They do nothing wrong; they walk in his ways.”( Psalm 119:1-3 )
"Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways.”( Psalm 128:l )
"The Lord . . . delights in those whose ways are blameless.”( Proverbs 11:20 )
"The righteous man leads a blameless life; blessed are his children after him.”( Proverbs 20:7 )
"'Suppose there is a righteous man who does what is just and right. . . . He follows my decrees and faithfully keeps my laws. That man is righteous; he will surely live,' declares the Sovereign Lord.”( Ezekiel 18:5, 9 )

God Bless You.
