1. The righteous are as bold as a lion (1-6)

The righteous have no fear of men, for they fear God. They are as bold as a lion. But the wicked run away when no one is chasing them. A man of understanding maintains stability in the midst of an immoral and perverse generation. To keep the law of God makes men wise. He who seeks the Lord understands justice.

2. Keeping the law (7-12)

A discerning son obeys the law. If a person ignores the law, God detests his prayers. The blameless will receive a good inheritance-- eternal life. The poor in heart see God. When the righteous succeed, everyone is glad.
