⁶ If pure and upright thou `art', Surely now He waketh for thee, And hath completed The habitation of thy righteousness.

¹⁹ and in this we know that of the truth we are, and before Him we shall assure our hearts,

²⁰ because if our heart may condemn -- because greater is God than our heart, and He doth know all things.

²¹ Beloved, if our heart may not condemn us, we have boldness toward God,

²² and whatever we may ask, we receive from Him, because His commands we keep, and the things pleasing before Him we do,

⁶ Rise, O Jehovah, in Thine anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of mine adversaries, And awake Thou for me: Judgment Thou hast commanded:

⁸ I wish, therefore, that men pray in every place, lifting up kind hands, apart from anger and reasoning;

⁹ Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah, Awake, as `in' days of old, generations of the ages, Art not Thou it that is hewing down Rahab, Piercing a dragon!

¹⁰ Say ye to the righteous, that `it is' good, Because the fruit of their doings they eat.

¹⁵ And in your spreading forth your hands, I hide mine eyes from you, Also when ye increase prayer, I do not hear, Your hands of blood have been full.

⁸ The sacrifice of the wicked `is' an abomination to Jehovah, And the prayer of the upright `is' His delight.

⁴ Without punishment they run and prepare themselves, Stir up to meet me, and see.

⁵ And Thou, Jehovah, God of Hosts, God of Israel, Awake to inspect all the nations. Favour not any treacherous dealers of iniquity. Selah.

²³ Stir up -- why dost Thou sleep, O Lord? Awake, cast us not off for ever.

⁵ I have hated the assembly of evil doers, And with the wicked I sit not.

⁶ I wash in innocency my hands, And I compass Thine altar, O Jehovah.

²³ If thou dost return unto the Mighty Thou art built up, Thou puttest iniquity far from thy tents.

²⁴ So as to set on the dust a defence, And on a rock of the valleys a covering.

²⁵ And the Mighty hath been thy defence, And silver `is' strength to thee.

²⁶ For then on the Mighty thou delightest thyself, And dost lift up unto God thy face,

²⁷ Thou dost make supplication unto Him, And He doth hear thee, And thy vows thou completest.

²⁸ And thou decreest a saying, And it is established to thee, And on thy ways hath light shone.

²⁹ For they have made low, And thou sayest, `Lift up.' And the bowed down of eyes he saveth.

³⁰ He delivereth the not innocent, Yea, he hath been delivered By the cleanness of thy hands.

¹⁴ And they say to God, `Turn aside from us, And the knowledge of Thy ways We have not desired.

¹⁵ What `is' the Mighty One that we serve Him? And what do we profit when we meet with Him?'

¹⁷ Not for violence in my hands, And my prayer `is' pure.

²⁴ And thou hast known that thy tent `is' peace, And inspected thy habitation, and errest not,

⁶ Is not thy reverence thy confidence? Thy hope -- the perfection of thy ways?

⁷ Remember, I pray thee, Who, being innocent, hath perished? And where have the upright been cut off?

⁸ And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, `Hast thou set thy heart against My servant Job because there is none like him in the land, a man perfect and upright, fearing God, and turning aside from evil?'
