righteous_a lord_n love_v righteousness_n his_o countenance_n do_v behold_v the_o upright_a that_o be_v favourable_o or_o as_o one_o that_o god_n love_v and_o respect_n oh_o with_o what_o favourable_a respect_n do_v god_n behold_v upright_a abraham_n and_o upright_a job_n not_o only_o to_o approve_v they_o but_o also_o to_o reward_v they_o or_o privilege_v they_o as_o we_o find_v in_o that_o

all_o because_o he_o be_v upright_o and_o in_o uprightness_n obey_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n oh_o see_v what_o favour_n god_n bear_v to_o upright_a man_n and_o woman_n as_o in_o job_n and_o david_n
