I hate and abhor falsehood, but Your Torah I love.
No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house. No one who utters lies will endure before my eyes.
From Your precepts I get discernment, therefore I hate every false way.
I hate double-minded ones, but Your Torah I love.
Therefore I esteem all Your precepts as right in every way —every false way I hate.
Turn me away from the deceitful way, and be gracious to me with Your Torah.
I delight in Your mitzvot, which I love.
A righteous person hates lying, but the wicked acts in shameful disgrace.
Keep falsehood and lies far from me. Give me neither poverty nor riches, but feed me with my allotted bread,
Hate evil, love good, maintain justice at the gate. Maybe Adonai Elohei-Tzva’ot will extend grace to Joseph’s remnant.
Let love be without hypocrisy—detesting what is evil, holding fast to the good.
So lay aside lying and “each one of you speak 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.
