From Your orders I get understanding; Therefore I have hated every false way.
The multitude are not wise, nor do the aged understand right-ruling.
I set no matter of Beliya‛al before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; It does not cleave to me.
I understand more than the aged, For I have observed Your orders.
Therefore all Your orders I count as right; I have hated every false way.
I have hated falsehood and loathe it, Your Torah I have loved.
Make me understand, that I might observe Your Torah, And guard it with all my heart.
Your commands make me wiser than my enemies; For it is ever before me.

You who love יהוה, hate evil! He guards the lives of His lovingly-committed ones, He delivers them out of the hand of the wrong.

“The fear of יהוה is to hate evil. I have hated pride and arrogance, And the evil way, And the perverse mouth.
Hate evil and love good, and set up right-ruling in the gate. It might be that יהוה Elohim of hosts shows favour to the remnant of Yosĕph.
“Enter in through the narrow gate! Because the gate is wide – and the way is broad – that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in through it.
Let love be without hypocrisy. Shrink from what is wicked, cling to what is good.
