I kept my feet from every evil way, in order to follow Your word.
From Your precepts I get discernment, therefore I hate every false way.
It is time for Adonai to act— they have violated Your Torah!
Happy are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with a whole heart,
For all His judgments are before me. I do not put His rulings away from me.
My son, do not go along with them, keep your foot from their path—
We all like sheep have gone astray. Each of us turned to his own way. So Adonai has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous one his thoughts, let him return to Adonai, so He may have compassion on him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.
Why do you make light of changing your way? You will be put to shame by Egypt as you were put to shame by Assyria.
