For this command is a lamp, this teaching is a light, and correction and instruction are the way to life...(Prov 6:20-23, NIV)

Sing praise to the LORD... and give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name. For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.(Psalm 30:3-4, NKJV)
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.(Prov 9:10, KJV)
Teach me both knowledge and appropriate discretion, because I believe in Your commands. Before I was humbled, I wandered away, but now I observe Your words... It was for my good that I was humbled; so that I would learn Your statutes... I know, LORD, that Your decrees are just, and that You have rightfully humbled me. May Your gracious love comfort me in accordance with Your promise to Your servant.(Psalm 119:66-76, ISV)
Those who weep while they plant will sing for joy while they harvest.(Psalm 126:5, ISV)

The perverse of heart shall be far from me; I will have nothing to do with what is evil.(Psalm 101:1-4, NIV)
The LORD knows the days of the upright, and their inheritance shall be forever. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time...(Psalm 37:18-19, NKJV)
