Turn me away from the deceitful way, and be gracious to me with Your Torah.
The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
If we say we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.
Keep falsehood and lies far from me. Give me neither poverty nor riches, but feed me with my allotted bread,
Turn my eyes away from gazing at vanity but revive me in Your ways.
Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the sexually immoral and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
As my soul was fading from me, I remembered Adonai and my prayer came to You, toward Your holy Temple.
Adonai, my strength, my stronghold, my refuge in the day of affliction, to You will the nations come from the ends of the earth and say: “Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, futility and useless things.”
He is feeding on ashes. A deceived heart has led him astray, so he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, “Isn’t what is in my right hand a fraud?”
I hate and abhor falsehood, but Your Torah I love.
From Your precepts I get discernment, therefore I hate every false way.
Oh that my ways were steadfast to observe Your decrees!
Therefore I esteem all Your precepts as right in every way —every false way I hate.
