8 Ref Lord, your house has been dear to me, and the resting-place of your glory.
9 Ref Let not my soul be numbered among sinners, or my life among men of blood;
10 Ref In whose hands are evil designs, and whose right hands take money for judging falsely.
11 Ref But as for me, I will go on in my upright ways: be my saviour, and have mercy on me.
12 Ref I have a safe resting-place for my feet; I will give praise to the Lord in the meetings of the people.
