Psalms 73:13

⁶I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, LORD,

¹⁵What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? What profit should we have, if we pray to him?’

⁹For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.’

³that you ask, ‘What advantage will it be to you? What profit will I have, more than if I had sinned?’

¹⁹Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh, ²¹and having a great priest over God’s house, ²²let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and having our body washed with pure water,

⁸Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners. Purify your hearts, you double-minded.

¹⁴You have said, ‘It is vain to serve God,’ and ‘What profit is it that we have followed his instructions and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of Armies?

¹⁰Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.

⁴He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.

³¹yet you will plunge me in the ditch. My own clothes will abhor me.
