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

If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear {me}:

If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;

My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach {me} so long as I live. {so long...: Heb. from my days}

If iniquity {be} in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.

Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and {him that had} none to help him.

{Is} not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?

Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works {are} works of iniquity, and the act of violence {is} in their hands.

The wicked man travaileth with pain all {his} days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.

Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices {which} ye wrongfully imagine against me.

But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that {is} in their hands.

For the congregation of hypocrites {shall be} desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.

O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;

All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.

I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?

I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

{Is} not {this} thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?

Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse {your} hands, {ye} sinners; and purify {your} hearts, {ye} double minded.

I am clean without transgression, I {am} innocent; neither {is there} iniquity in me.

Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him. {maintain: Heb. prove, or, argue}

If thou {wert} pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.

For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.

For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.

Thinkest thou this to be right, {that} thou saidst, My righteousness {is} more than God's?

O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;

I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but {there is} no judgment. {wrong: or, violence}
