Psalms 119:113

Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life.

For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.

This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.

How I love your law! It is my meditation all day.

Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

How sweet are your promises to my taste, more than honey to my mouth!

For I don’t know what I am doing. For I don’t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.

“I made a covenant with my eyes, how then should I look lustfully at a young woman?

I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.

“But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” says Yahweh: “I will put my law in their inward parts, and I will write it in their heart. I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

For I delight in God’s law after the inward man,

Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, “If you are returning to Yahweh with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct your hearts to Yahweh, and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.”

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts. Let him return to Yahweh, and he will have mercy on him, to our God, for he will freely pardon.

The heart is deceitful above all things and it is exceedingly corrupt. Who can know it?

“Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it.

throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

but his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night.

but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.

Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

Elijah came near to all the people, and said, “How long will you waver between the two sides? If Yahweh is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him.” The people didn’t say a word.

Turn my eyes away from looking at worthless things. Revive me in your ways.

Don’t lust after her beauty in your heart, neither let her captivate you with her eyelids.

For wisdom is better than rubies. All the things that may be desired can’t be compared to it.

Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart, for I am called by your name, Yahweh, God of Armies.

that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,

He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of man’s heart was continually only evil.

They are more to be desired than gold, yes, than much fine gold, sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.

Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long will your evil thoughts lodge within you?

but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.

For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.

“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”

if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

The wicked, in the pride of his face, has no room in his thoughts for God.

I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, your law is within my heart.”

If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened.

Yahweh knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.

I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

He who conceals his sins doesn’t prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.

I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake; and I will not remember your sins.

I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, your transgressions, and, as a cloud, your sins. Return to me, for I have redeemed you.

But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”

For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise. I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.”

And again, “The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.”

Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,

Therefore we don’t faint, but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.

Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners. Purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Yahweh, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this desire forever in the thoughts of the heart of your people, and prepare their heart for you;

I haven’t gone back from the commandment of his lips. I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

Yahweh, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,

Blessed is the man who makes Yahweh his trust, and doesn’t respect the proud, nor such as turn away to lies.

Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts. You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.

Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.

But there is forgiveness with you, therefore you are feared.

He said to me, “Son of man, cause your belly to eat, and fill your bowels with this scroll that I give you.” Then I ate it; and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.

What do you plot against Yahweh? He will make a full end. Affliction won’t rise up the second time.

For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,

Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”

{14.25} having been made manifest however now through also Scriptures prophetic according to the commandment of the Eternal God unto the obedience of faith — to all the Gentiles having been made known —

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”

Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation,

Whom have you defied and blasphemed? Against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel!

Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.

Direct me in the path of your commandments, for I delight in them.

I will delight myself in your commandments, because I love them.

But as for those who turn away to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.

You know my sitting down and my rising up. You perceive my thoughts from afar.

The fear of Yahweh is to hate evil. I hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth.

Yahweh detests the thoughts of the wicked, but the thoughts of the pure are pleasing.

Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

The schemes of folly are sin. The mocker is detested by men.

so you shall know wisdom to be to your soul. If you have found it, then there will be a reward: Your hope will not be cut off.

The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the arrogance of men shall be brought low; and Yahweh alone shall be exalted in that day.

Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he a darling child? For as often as I speak against him, I still earnestly remember him. therefore my heart yearns for him. I will surely have mercy on him,” says Yahweh.

Again, when I say to the wicked, “You will surely die;” if he turns from his sin, and does that which is lawful and right;

Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.

He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to prepare a people prepared for the Lord.”

Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.”

“Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord,

but declared first to them of Damascus, at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.

seeing that through the proof given by this service, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the Good News of Christ and for the generosity of your contribution to them and to all,

Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth, and destroy by the manifestation of his coming;

For we all stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.

Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently,

“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot.

Having therefore these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love, and into the perseverance of Christ.

I hate and abhor falsehood. I love your law.
