Jehovah rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands He has given back to me.

I will wash my hands in innocence; thus I will go around Your altar, O Jehovah,

If I wash myself with snow water, and cleanse my hands with soap,

Yet the righteous will take hold on his way, and he who has clean hands shall increase strength.

And when you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you. Even though you multiply prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.

Wash yourselves, purify yourselves. Put away the evil of your doings from My eyes; stop doing evil.

He who walks righteously and speaks with equity; he who despises the gain of oppressions, who shakes his hands free from holding bribes, who stops his ear from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from seeing evil;

he shall dwell on high; his refuge shall be the strongholds of rocks; bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.

I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting;

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

i1 [A Psalm of Asaph.] i0 par Truly God is good to Israel, to the pure of heart.

And Jehovah saw that the evil of man was great on the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all day long.

Who can say, I have made my heart clean; I am pure from my sin?

O Jerusalem, wash your heart from evil so that you may be saved. How long shall your vain thoughts lodge within you?

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

and made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilements of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.

And I heard a loud voice from Heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.

Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the Tree of Life, and may enter through the gates into the city.

But outside are dogs and sorcerers and prostitutes and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and produces a lie.

i1 [A Psalm of David.] i0 par Unto You, O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.

Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, for in You do I trust; cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul unto You.

And take heed, when you lift up your eyes to the heavens, and you see the sun, the moon, and the stars, all the host of the heavens, that you not be driven to bow down to them and serve them, which Jehovah your God has allotted to all the peoples under the heavens.

who has not eaten on the mountains, nor lifted his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, nor defiled his neighbor's wife;

and saying, Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men with the same nature as you, and preach to you that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them,

in whose eyes the reprobate is despised, but he honors those who fear Jehovah; he has sworn to his hurt, and does not change it;

And though they say, As Jehovah lives; surely they swear falsely.

Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods whom you do not know;

and then come and stand before Me in this house which is called by My name, and say, We are delivered to do all those abominations?

And he said to me, This is the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole earth. For from now on everyone who steals shall be purged out according to it; and everyone who swears from now on shall be purged out according to it.

And I will bring it forth, says Jehovah of Hosts. And it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of the one who swears falsely by My name. And it shall remain in the midst of his house and shall make an end to it, and its timber, and its stones.

And I will come near to you for judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against those swearing to a lie; and against those who defraud the hired laborer of his pay, and turn away the widow, and the fatherless, and the alien; and who do not fear Me, says Jehovah of Hosts.
