if you (G)remove injustice far from your tents,
24 if you lay gold in (H)the dust,
and gold of (I)Ophir among the stones of the torrent-bed,
25 then the Almighty will be your gold
and your precious silver.
26 For then you (J)will delight yourself in the Almighty
and (K)lift up your face to God.
27 You will (L)make your prayer to him, and he will hear you,
and you will (M)pay your vows.
28 You will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you,
and (N)light will shine on your ways.
29 For when they are humbled you say, ‘It is because of pride’;[a]
but he saves (O)the lowly.
30 He (P)delivers even the one who is not innocent,
who will be delivered through (Q)the cleanness of your hands.”
