I have kept my feet ⌞from walking⌟ on any evil path in order to obey your word.
From your guiding principles I gain understanding. That is why I hate every path that leads to lying.
It is time for you to act, O Lord. Even though people have abolished your teachings,
Blessed are those who obey his written instructions. They wholeheartedly search for him.
I was innocent as far as he was concerned. I have kept myself from guilt.
My son, do not follow them in their way. Do not even set foot on their path,
We have all strayed like sheep. Each one of us has turned to go his own way, and the Lord has laid all our sins on him.
Let wicked people abandon their ways. Let evil people abandon their thoughts. Let them return to the Lord, and he will show compassion to them. Let them return to our God, because he will freely forgive them.
You change your mind so easily. You will be put to shame by Egypt as you were put to shame by Assyria.
