⁹ Hide Thy face from my sin. And all mine iniquities blot out.

¹⁰ A clean heart prepare for me, O God, And a right spirit renew within me.

¹¹ Cast me not forth from Thy presence, And Thy Holy Spirit take not from me.

¹² Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation, And a willing spirit doth sustain me.

⁸ `Happy the clean in heart -- because they shall see God.

² beloved, now, children of God are we, and it was not yet manifested what we shall be, and we have known that if he may be manifested, like him we shall be, because we shall see him as he is;

³ and every one who is having this hope on him, doth purify himself, even as he is pure.

⁴ Every one who is doing the sin, the lawlessness also he doth do, and the sin is the lawlessness,

⁹ and this I pray, that your love yet more and more may abound in full knowledge, and all judgment,

¹⁰ for your proving the things that differ, that ye may be pure and offenceless -- to a day of Christ,

¹¹ being filled with the fruit of righteousness, that `is' through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

¹² And I wish you to know, brethren, that the things concerning me, rather to an advancement of the good news have come,

¹⁴ All things do without murmurings and reasonings,

¹⁵ that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God, unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, among whom ye do appear as luminaries in the world,

¹⁶ the word of life holding forth, for rejoicing to me in regard to a day of Christ, that not in vain did I run, nor in vain did I labour;

¹⁷ but if also I am poured forth upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and joy with you all,

³ Who goeth up into the hill of Jehovah? And who riseth up in His holy place?

⁴ The clean of hands, and pure of heart, Who hath not lifted up to vanity his soul, Nor hath sworn to deceit.

⁵ He beareth away a blessing from Jehovah, Righteousness from the God of his salvation.

⁶ This `is' a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Thy face, O Jacob! Selah.

³ and every one who is having this hope on him, doth purify himself, even as he is pure.

⁵ And the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned,

¹ A Psalm of Asaph. Only -- good to Israel `is' God, to the clean of heart. And I -- as a little thing, My feet have been turned aside,

²² and the youthful lusts flee thou, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those calling upon the Lord out of a pure heart;

² All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, And Jehovah is pondering the spirits.

²² Your souls having purified in the obedience of the truth through the Spirit to brotherly love unfeigned, out of a pure heart one another love ye earnestly,
