Psalms 119:162–164

¹⁶Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.

⁷²The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.

¹¹¹Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.

¹⁶¶ And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.

³Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.

¹⁹Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

¹²⁸Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.

¹⁶¶ These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

¹⁷A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

¹⁸An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

¹⁹A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

⁹Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

¹⁵Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.

²⁹Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.

²⁵Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

⁸Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:

⁷He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

¹¹³I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.

¹⁵For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

⁶²At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.

¹⁷Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

⁸Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O Lord.

¹¹Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.

²For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
