Let there be fear in your hearts, and do no sin; have bitter feelings on your bed, but make no sound. (Selah.)

I said, I will give attention to my ways, so that my tongue may do no wrong; I will keep my mouth under control, while the sinner is before me.

Give us help against the enemy,
For the help of man is worthless (ineffectual, without purpose).

As for me, I have made my heart clean to no purpose, washing my hands in righteousness;

Yahweh knows [the] thoughts of humankind, that {they [are] to no purpose}.

They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.

I have kept your sayings secretly in my heart, so that I might do no sin against you.

If the Lord is not helping the builders, then the building of a house is to no purpose: if the Lord does not keep the town, the watchman keeps his watch for nothing.
