“Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.”
“As for the works of men, by the word of your lips, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.”
“As for the actions of people– just as you have commanded, I have not followed in the footsteps of violent men.”
“Praising, I will call upon the Lord: and I shall be saved from my enemies.”
“As for the works of men, by the word of your lips I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.”
“Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.”
Hear the right, O Jehovah, attend unto my cry; Give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; Let thine eyes look upon equity.
Thou hast proved my heart; thou hast visited me in the night; Thou hast tried me, and findest nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
As for the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the ways of the violent.
My steps have held fast to thy paths, My feet have not slipped.
I have called upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O God: Incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
Show thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them that take refuge in thee From those that rise upagainst them.
