I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.” |
Search for the Lord and for his strength; continually seek him. | Seek Yahweh and his strength. Seek his face forever more. |
Instead, let us test and examine our ways. Let us turn back to the Lord. | Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Yahweh. |

For the Scriptures say, “If you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies. Turn away from evil and do good.
