15 (A)He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly,
    who despises the gain of oppressions,
who shakes his hands, lest they hold a bribe,
    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.

15 Those who walk righteously(A)

    and shut their eyes(E) against contemplating evil—
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)
