You love those who
hate evil;
make us aware of the
evil
in our hearts and in
our lives,
not that we may hate
evil people,
but that we may hate
evil deeds—
especially our own—
and that you may
rescue us.
David thought it evil to drink water
for which his
adherents
had risked their
blood;
you changed water
into wine
and taught us to
drink wine,
remembering your
blood,
to rescue us from
evil.

Selections
Psalms 97:10
The LORD loves those who hate evil;
he guards the lives of his
faithful;
he rescues them from the hand of
the wicked.
2 Samuel 23:16b-17b
But [David] would not drink of [the water his men had
brought him]; he poured it out to the LORD, "The LORD forbid that I should
do this. Can I drink the blood of the men who went at the risk of their
lives?" Therefore he would not
drink it.
2 John 10-11
Do not receive into the house or welcome anyone who comes to
you and does not bring this teaching; for to welcome is to participate in the
evil deeds of such a person.
John 2:2-3
Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the
wedding. When the wine gave out, the
mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine."
