When He visits, what shall I answer Him? 15 Did not He that made me in the womb make him? And did not one fashion us in the womb? 16 If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or caused the eyes of the widow to fail; 17 Or have eaten my portion alone, and the fatherless has not eaten of it; 18 (For from my youth he was raised with me as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;) 19 If I have seen any perish for lack of clothing, or any poor without covering; 20 If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep; 21 If I have lifted my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate; 22 Then let my arm fall from my shoulder blade, and let my arm be broken at the bone. 23 For destruction from God was a terror to me, and because of His majesty I could not endure. 24 If I have made gold my hope, or said to the fine gold, 'You are my confidence;' 25 If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because my hand had gotten much; 26 If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness; 27 And my heart was secretly enticed, or my mouth has kissed my hand: 28 This also would be an iniquity to be judged, for I would have denied the God above. 29 If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted myself up when evil found him; 30 Neither have I allowed my mouth to sin by wishing a curse upon his soul. 31 If the men of my tent have not said, 'Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.' 32 The stranger did not lodge in the street, but I opened my doors to the traveler. 33 If I covered my transgressions like Adam, by hiding my iniquity in my heart; 34 Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, so that I kept silent and went not out of the door? 35 Oh that one would hear me! Behold, my desire is that the Almighty would answer me, and that my adversary had written a book. 36 Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me. 37 I would declare to Him the number of my steps; like a prince would I approach Him. 38 If my land cries against me, or its furrows likewise complain; 39 If I have eaten its fruits without payment, or caused the owners to lose their life;
  • Ps 7:3-5 : 3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there is iniquity in my hands; 4 If I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me; (yes, I have delivered him who without cause is my enemy:) 5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yes, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay my honor in the dust. Selah.
  • Ps 18:20-24 : 20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he has recompensed me. 21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God. 22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me. 23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from my iniquity. 24 Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.

    1For you yourselves, brothers, know our entrance to you, that it was not in vain:

    2But even after we had suffered before and were shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God with much contention.

    3For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:

    4But as we were allowed by God to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.

    5For neither at any time did we use flattering words, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness; God is witness:

    6Nor did we seek glory from men, neither from you nor from others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.

    7But we were gentle among you, just as a nurse cherishes her children:

    8So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to impart to you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because you were dear to us.

    9For you remember, brothers, our labor and toil: for working night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.
