O LORD, my God, if I have wronged anyone, if I have betrayed a friend or without cause done violence to my enemy --- if I have done any of these things---

(SEE 7:3)

You know my heart. You have come to me at night; you have examined me completely and found no evil desire in me. I speak no evil,

It is foolish to follow your own opinions. Be safe, and follow the teachings of wiser people.

"Who can understand the human heart? There is nothing else so deceitful; it is too sick to be healed.

I, the LORD, search the minds and test the hearts of people. I treat each of them according to the way they live, according to what they do."

Guard against turning back from the grace of God. Let no one become like a bitter plant that grows up and causes many troubles with its poison.

Let no one become immoral or unspiritual like Esau, who for a single meal sold his rights as the older son.

LORD, I have so many enemies! Lead me to do your will; make your way plain for me to follow.

Because the LORD is righteous and good, he teaches sinners the path they should follow.

He leads the humble in the right way and teaches them his will.

Happy are those whose lives are faultless, who live according to the law of the LORD.

I will eagerly obey your commands, because you will give me more understanding.

Remind me each morning of your constant love, for I put my trust in you. My prayers go up to you; show me the way I should go.

You are my God; teach me to do your will. Be good to me, and guide me on a safe path.

But the gate to life is narrow and the way that leads to it is hard, and there are few people who find it.

Jesus answered him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one goes to the Father except by me.

Since you have accepted Christ Jesus as Lord, live in union with him.
