Ifyou are pureand upright,SurelynowHe would rouseHimself for you And restoreyour righteousestate.
Awake,awake,puton strength,O armof the LORD;Awakeas in the daysof old,the generationsof longago.Was it not You who cutRahabin pieces,Who piercedthe dragon?
Sayto the righteousthat [it will go] well[with them], For they will eatthe fruitof their actions.
The sacrificeof the wickedis an abominationto the LORD,But the prayerof the uprightis His delight.
"You will knowthat your tentis secure,For you will visityour abodeand fearnoloss.
Arise,O LORD,in Your anger;Liftup Yourself against the rageof my adversaries,And arouseYourself for me; You have appointedjudgment.
Althoughthere is noviolencein my hands,And my prayeris pure.
ThereforeI wantthe menin everyplaceto pray,liftingup holyhands,withoutwrathand dissension.
"So when you spreadout your hands[in prayer], I will hideMy eyesfrom you; Yes,eventhoughyou multiplyprayers,I will not listen.Your handsare coveredwith blood.
ArouseYourself, whydo You sleep,O Lord?Awake,do not rejectus forever.
The LORDsaidto Satan,"Have you consideredMy servantJob?For thereis noonelikehim on the earth,a blamelessand uprightman,fearingGodand turningawayfrom evil."
So that they caused the cryof the poorto cometo Him, And that He might hearthe cryof the afflicted--
The curseof the LORDis on the houseof the wicked,But He blessesthe dwellingof the righteous.
Ifiniquityis in your hand,putit faraway,And do not let wickednessdwellin your tents;
With the kindYou showYourself kind;With the blamelessYou showYourself blameless;
