O let me have understanding in the ways of Godliness, until the time that thou come unto me! I will walk in my house with a perfect heart.

I will take no wicked thing in hand. I hate the sin of unfaithfulness; it shall not cleave unto me.

A froward heart shall depart from me; I will not know a wicked person.

Who so privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I destroy. Whoso hath also a proud look and high stomach, I will not suffer him.

For the voice of my groaning, my bones will scarce cleave to my flesh.

Wilt thou not slay the wicked, O God, that the bloodthirsty might depart from me?

Sure I am, that the LORD will avenge the poor, and maintain the cause of the helpless.

Say not unto thy neighbour, "Go thy way and come again, tomorrow will I give thee"

Yea I shall give you a good reward, if ye will not forsake my law.

I will show thee the way of wisdom, and lead thee in the right paths.
