yet no violence is in my hands and my prayer is pure.
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Adonai, but the prayer of the upright pleases him.
But cover man and beast with sackcloth. Let them cry out to God with urgency. Let each one turn from his evil way and from the violence in his hands.
Their webs will not become clothing, nor will they cover themselves with what they make. Their deeds are works of iniquity, an act of violence is in their hands.
For the company of the godless is barren, and fire consumes the tents of bribery.
All his days the wicked suffers torment, and numbered are the years stored up for the tyrant.
if you put away the wickedness that is in your hand, and allow no iniquity to abide in your tent,
So I desire all men to pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without anger and argument.
“Earth, do not cover my blood, and let my cry find no resting place!
my lips will speak no injustice, nor will my tongue mutter deceit.
‘I am pure, without transgression; I am innocent, without iniquity.
A prayer of David. Hear, Adonai, a just plea, listen to my cry! Give ear to my prayer— from lips with no deceit.
