Love » Of home » Of sin
Who are rejoicing to do evil, They delight in frowardness of the wicked,
Also -- surely abominable and filthy Is man drinking as water perverseness.
Thou hast loved evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking righteousness. Selah.
Woe to those drawing out iniquity with cords of vanity, And as with thick ropes of the cart -- sin.
Thus said Jehovah concerning this people: Well they have loved to wander, Their feet they have not restrained, And Jehovah hath not accepted them, Now doth He remember their iniquity, And inspect their sin.
Ye who are hating good, and loving evil, Taking violently their skin from off them, And their flesh from off their bones,
and because of this shall God send to them a working of delusion, for their believing the lie, that they may be judged -- all who did not believe the truth, but were well pleased in the unrighteousness.

Mem. O how I have loved Thy law! All the day it is my meditation.
Consumed have been mine eyes for Thy word, Saying, 'When doth it comfort me?'
Falsehood I have hated, yea I abominate it, Thy law I have loved.
Thy words have been found, and I eat them, And Thy word is to me for a joy, And for the rejoicing of my heart, For Thy name is called on me, O Jehovah, God of Hosts.
And I delight myself in Thy commands, That I have loved,
Better to me is the law of Thy mouth Than thousands of gold and silver!
Tried is thy saying exceedingly, And Thy servant hath loved it.

By rivers of Babylon -- There we did sit, Yea, we wept when we remembered Zion. On willows in its midst we hung our harps.
For there our captors asked us the words of a song, And our spoilers -- joy: 'Sing ye to us of a song of Zion.' How do we sing the song of Jehovah, On the land of a stranger?
If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, my right hand forgetteth! My tongue doth cleave to my palate, If I do not remember thee, If I do not exalt Jerusalem above my chief joy.

Let, I pray thee, thy servant turn back again, and I die in mine own city, near the burying-place of my father and of my mother, -- and lo, thy servant Chimham, let him pass over with my lord the king, and do thou to him that which is good in thine eyes.'
