Rh  Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
 * For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous; but the way of the wicked shall perish.

Psalm xix THE law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul:
 * The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.

The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart:
 * The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.

The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever:
 * The ordinances of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether.

More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold;
 * Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.

Moreover by them is thy servant warned: in keeping them there is great reward.
 * Who can discern his errors? Clear thou me from hidden faults.

Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me:
 * Then shall I be upright, and I shall be clear from great transgression.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
 * Be acceptable in thy sight, Lord, my rock, and my redeemer.

SELECTION 21 THE CONTRITE HEART Ezra xi

MY God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God;
 * For our iniquities are increased over our head, and our guiltiness is grown up unto the heavens.
