15 A person might do what is right.
    He might speak what is right.
He might refuse to take money unfairly.
    He might refuse to take money to hurt others.
He might not listen to plans of murder.
    He might refuse to think about evil.
16 This is the kind of person who will be safe.
    He will be protected as he would be in a high, walled city.
He will always have bread,
    and he will not run out of water.
17 Your eyes will see the king in his beauty.
    You will see the land that stretches far away.

15 Those who walk righteously(A)

16 they are the ones who will dwell on the heights,(F)
    whose refuge(G) will be the mountain fortress.(H)
Their bread will be supplied,
    and water will not fail(I) them.

17 Your eyes will see the king(J) in his beauty(K)
    and view a land that stretches afar.(L)

    who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed
    (B)and shuts his eyes from looking on evil,
16 he will dwell on the heights;
    his place of defense will be the fortresses of rocks;
    (C)his bread will be given him; his water will be sure.

17 (D)Your eyes will behold the king in his beauty;
    (E)they will see a land that stretches afar.
