Tap a verse to highlight it

1 > I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To you, Yahweh, I will sing praises.

2 I will be careful to live a blameless life. When will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.

3 I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.

4 A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.

5 I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won't tolerate one who is haughty and conceited.

6 My eyes will be on the faithful of the land, That they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, He will serve me.

7 He who practices deceit won't dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won't be established before my eyes.

8 Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land; To cut off all the workers of iniquity from Yahweh's city.

Today's Verse

For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do that which is evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.
