Encouraging verses, outside canon

I swear unto you[righteous], that in heaven the angels remember you for good before the glory of the Great One: and your names are written before the glory of the Great One. Enoch 104:1
“Love righteousness, you rulers of the earth, think of the Lord in goodness and seek him with sincerity of heart;” (Wisdom of Solomon 1:1, NRSV)

sorry i posted the Wisdom verse in the wrong translation, this is the translation that spoke to me and its more literal too, God bless
“Love righteousness, rulers of the earth. Think about the Lord in goodness, and seek him in simplicity of heart.” (Wisdom of Solomon 1:1, LES)
actually this edit might be my fav:
"Love righteousness, rulers of the earth. Think upon the Lord in goodness, and seek him in simplicity of heart"
