²⁰ They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.

¹ Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.

¹⁷ I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee.

²⁹ A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way.

¹⁷ The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.

⁸ The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

⁶ Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.

²² Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.

⁷ He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

¹³ The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

¹⁶ These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

¹⁷ A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

¹⁸ An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

¹⁹ A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

¹⁴ Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.

¹³ Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.

⁶ Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

²⁵ With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;

²⁶ With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.

⁷ For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
