A perverse heart is abominable to the Lord: and his will is in them that walk sincerely.
A gradual canticle. In my trouble I cried to the Lord: and he heard me.
I know, my God, that thou provest hearts, and lovest simplicity. Wherefore I also in the simplicity of my heart have joyfully offered all these things: and I have seen with great joy thy people, which are here present, offer thee their offerings.
The wicked man impudently hardeneth his face: but he that is righteous, correcteth his way.
With a wicked heart he deviseth evil, and at all times he soweth discord.
The path of the just departeth from evils: he that keepeth his soul keepeth his way.
The victims of the wicked are abominable to the Lord: the vows of the just are acceptable.
Justice keepeth the way of the innocent: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord: but they that deal faithfully please him.
He that teacheth a scorner, doth an injury to himself: and he that rebuketh a wicked man, getteth himself a blot.
The fear of the Lord hateth evil: I hate arrogance, and pride, and every wicked way, and a mouth with a double tongue.
Thou hast loved all the words of ruin, O deceitful tongue.
The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried by the fire, purged from the earth refined seven times.
For my days are vanished like smoke: and my bones are grown dry like fuel for the fire.
For every mocker is an abomination to the Lord, and his communication is with the simple.
Hand in hand the evil man shall not be innocent: but the seed of the just shall be saved.
A fool will laugh at sin, but among the just grace shall abide.
Evil thoughts are an abomination to the Lord: and pure words most beautiful shall be confirmed by him.
