and to those whose motives are pure!
90:12 So teach us to consider our mortality,
so that we might live wisely.
101:4 I will have nothing to do with a perverse person;
I will not permit
24:4 The one whose deeds are blameless
and whose motives are pure,
who does not lie,
or make promises with no intention of keeping them.
101:5 I will destroy anyone who slanders his neighbor in secret.
I will not tolerate anyone who has a cocky demeanor and an arrogant attitude.
111:1 Praise the Lord!
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart,
in the assembly of the godly and the congregation.
95:10 For forty years I was continually disgusted
and I said, ‘These people desire to go astray;
they do not obey my commands.’

he harassed the oppressed and needy,
and killed the disheartened.
