I hated and loathed wickedness; forsooth I loved thy law.
He that doeth pride, shall not dwell in the middle of mine house; he that speaketh wicked things, served not in the sight of mine eyes.
I understood of thy behests; there-fore I hated all the ways of wickedness.
[Samech.] I hated wicked men; and I loved thy law.
Therefore I was dressed to all thy behests; I hated all wicked way.
Remove thou from me the way of wickedness; and in thy law have thou mercy on me.
And I bethought in thy behests; which I loved.
A just [or rightwise] man shall loathe a false word; but a wicked man shameth, and shall be shamed.
Make thou far from me vanity and words of leasing; give thou not to me begging and riches; but give thou only necessaries to my lifelode;
Hate ye evil, and love ye good, and ordain ye in the gate doom; if peradventure the Lord God of hosts have mercy on the remnants of Joseph.
Love without feigning, hating evil, drawing [or fast cleaving] to good;
For which thing put ye away leasing, and speak ye truth each man with his neighbour, for we be members each to other [or together].
For withoutforth [shall be shut] hounds, and witches, and unchaste men, and man-quellers, and serving to idols, and each that loveth and maketh leasing or lies.
