I hate and despise deceit; I love your law.
Deceitful people will not live in my palace. Liars will not be welcome in my presence.
Your precepts give me discernment. Therefore I hate all deceitful actions. נ (Nun)
For this reason I carefully follow all your precepts. I hate all deceitful actions. פ (Pe)
Remove me from the path of deceit! Graciously give me your law!
I will find delight in your commands, which I love.
The righteous person hates anything false, but the wicked person acts in shameful disgrace.
Remove falsehood and lies far from me; do not give me poverty or riches, feed me with my allotted portion of bread,
Hate what is wrong, love what is right! Promote justice at the city gate! Maybe the Lord, the God who commands armies, will have mercy on those who are left from Joseph.
Love must be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil, cling to what is good.
Therefore, having laid aside falsehood, each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.
Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the sexually immoral, and the murderers, and the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood!
