2  Whoever ^hwalks in uprightness fears the Lord,

but he who is ⁱdevious in his ways despises him.

9  The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,

but he loves him ^qwho pursues righteousness.

26  ^tThe thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord,

but ^ugracious words are pure.

3  When a man’s folly ^dbrings his way to ruin,

his heart ^erages against the Lord.
