A Psalm of David.
I will sing of lovingkindness and justice:
Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I sing praises.
I will {Or, give heed unto the perfect way}behave myself wisely in a perfect way:
Oh when wilt thou come unto me?
I will walk within my house {Or, in the integrity of my heart}with a perfect heart.
I will set no base thing before mine eyes:
I hate {Or, the doing of unfaithfulness}the work of them that turn aside;
It shall not cleave unto me.
A perverse heart shall depart from me:
I will know no {Or, evil person}evil thing.
Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy:
Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.
Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me:
He that walketh in a perfect way, he shall minister unto me.
He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house:
He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.
Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land;
To cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.
Querverweise zu Psalm 101,4 Ps 101,4
To deliver thee from the way of {Or, the evil man}evil,From the men that speak perverse things;
Who forsake the paths of uprightness,To walk in the ways of darkness;
Who rejoice to do evil,And delight in the perverseness of {Or, the evil man}evil;
Who are crooked in their ways,And wayward in their paths:
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity;For Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping.
For the perverse is an abomination to Jehovah;But his {Or, counsel}friendship is with the upright.
Depart from me, ye evil-doers,That I may keep the commandments of my God.
The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil:Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way,And the perverse mouth, do I hate.
{Or, Forsake the simple}Leave off, ye simple ones, and live;And walk in the way of understanding.
They that are perverse in heart are an abomination to Jehovah;But such as are perfect in their way are his delight.
Make no friendship with a man that is given to anger;And with a wrathful man thou shalt not go:
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness?
And what concord hath Christ with {Greek: Beliar.}Belial? or what portion hath a believer with an unbeliever?
And what agreement hath a {Or, santuary}temple of God with idols? for we are a {Or, santuary}temple of the living God; even as God said, {Leviticus 26:12; Exodus 29:45; Ezekiel 37:27; Jeremiah 31:1.}I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
and through a window was I let down in a basket by the wall, and escaped his hands.
Howbeit the firm foundation of God standeth, having this seal, {Numbers 16:5?}The Lord knoweth them that are his: and, {Isaiah 26:13?}Let every one that nameth the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.
