He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to what is false,
Nor has sworn [oaths] deceitfully.

I do not sit with deceitful or unethical or worthless men,
Nor seek companionship with pretenders (self-righteous hypocrites).

Do not give me up to the will of my adversaries,
For false witnesses have come against me;
They breathe out violence.

Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who makes the Lord his trust,
And does not regard the proud nor those who lapse into lies.

All this has come upon us, yet we have not forgotten You,
Nor have we been false to Your covenant [which You made with our fathers].

For behold, those who are far from You will perish;
You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful and have abandoned You.

“Nevertheless, I will not break off My lovingkindness from him,
Nor allow My faithfulness to fail.

From Your precepts I get understanding;
Therefore I hate every false way.

Therefore I esteem as right all Your precepts concerning everything;
I hate every false way.
