Only those whose hands and hearts are pure, who do not worship idols and never tell lies.

So rejoice in the Lord and be glad, all you who obey him! Shout for joy, all you whose hearts are pure!

Book three (Psalms 73–89)

Psalm 73

A psalm of Asaph.

Truly God is good to Israel, to those whose hearts are pure.

Did I keep my heart pure for nothing? Did I keep myself innocent for no reason?

Who can say, “I have cleansed my heart; I am pure and free from sin”?

Whoever loves a pure heart and gracious speech will have the king as a friend.

God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God.

The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith.

Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.

Everything is pure to those whose hearts are pure. But nothing is pure to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, because their minds and consciences are corrupted.

let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.
