I hold back my feet from every evil way, in order to keep your word.
Through your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.
It is time for the Lord to act, for your law has been broken.
Happy are those who keep his decrees, who seek him with their whole heart,
I was blameless before him, and I kept myself from guilt.
my child, do not walk in their way; keep your foot from their paths,
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have all turned to our own way, and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
let the wicked forsake their way and the unrighteous their thoughts; let them return to the Lord, that he may have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
Why do you go about so much to change your way? You shall be put to shame by Egypt as you were put to shame by Assyria.
