13 “If you set your heart aright,
    stretch out your hands toward him.
14 If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away.
    Don’t let unrighteousness dwell in your tents.
15 Surely then you will lift up your face without spot;
    Yes, you will be steadfast, and will not fear:
16 for you will forget your misery.
    You will remember it like waters that have passed away.
17 Life will be clearer than the noonday.
    Though there is darkness, it will be as the morning.
18 You will be secure, because there is hope.
    Yes, you will search, and will take your rest in safety.
19 Also you will lie down, and no one will make you afraid.
    Yes, many will court your favor.
20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail.
    They will have no way to flee.
    Their hope will be the giving up of the spirit.”

13 “If you prepare your heart
    and stretch out your hands toward Him;
14 if iniquity is in your hand, put it far away,
    and do not let wickedness dwell in your tents;
15 for then you will lift up your face without blemish;
    yes, you will be steadfast and will not fear,
16 because you will forget misery,
    and remember it as waters that pass away,
17 and your life will be brighter than noonday,
    even your darkness will be as the morning.
18 You will trust because there is hope;
    yes, you will search about you,
    and you will look around and rest in safety.
19 Also you will lie down, and none will make you afraid;
    yes, many will court your favor.
20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail,
    and they will not escape,
    and their hope will be as the giving up of breath.”
