I have kept back my feet from all evil ways, so that I might be true to your word.
My son, do not go with them; keep your feet from their ways:
Let the sinner give up his way, and the evil-doer his purpose: and let him come back to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for there is full forgiveness with him.
Through your orders I get wisdom; for this reason I am a hater of every false way.
We all went wandering like sheep; going every one of us after his desire; and the Lord put on him the punishment of us all.
And I was upright before him, and I kept myself from sin.
Why do you go about so much for the purpose of changing your way? you will be shamed on account of Egypt, as you were shamed on account of Assyria.
It is time, O Lord, for you to let your work be seen; for they have made your law without effect.
Happy are they who keep his unchanging word, searching after him with all their heart.
