Psalms 5:4–5

⁵The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

¹⁴Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

¹⁷¶ Ye have wearied the Lord with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the Lord, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?

²¹These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

²⁷And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

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

¹³Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.

¹⁵To shew that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

¹³Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

¹³Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?

²³Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

²⁰Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?

²³And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

¹⁷I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee.

⁵The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

⁵Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

¹⁵All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.

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.

²³And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

⁴¹Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

⁷¶ The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

⁵O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

¹³Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?

²³And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

⁴When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.

²²How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

⁴I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

⁸Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.

³If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

¹THE fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

⁶A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.

⁸Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?

³For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

³For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth.
