No Lies and Deception

“If I’ve lived my life in the company of vanity,
    or run quickly to embrace deception,
let my righteousness be weighed in honest scales,
    and God will make known my integrity.
If I have stepped away from the way,
    or if my heart covets whatever my eyes see,
        or if some other blemish clings to my hands,
what I’ve planted, let another eat
    or let my crops be uprooted.”

let him weigh me in the balance of justice,
and let God know my blamelessness.
If my steps have turned aside from the way,

and my hand has clung to a spot,
let me sow, and let another eat,
and let my crops be rooted out.
