8 Ref Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, And the place of the tabernacle of Thine honour.
9 Ref Do not gather with sinners my soul, And with men of blood my life,
10 Ref In whose hand `is' a wicked device, And their right hand `is' full of bribes.

12 Ref My foot hath stood in uprightness, In assemblies I bless Jehovah!
