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.”
