Today's reading seems to have a lot of moving parts. We are being told to be doers of the Word not just hearers. We should be living it out and doing as it says and not just reading or listening and floating along as normal. There is no partiality in sin. Committing just one sin means that you have broken the law and there is no partial transgression. In the last part I believe it is saying that we need to show our faith. We cannot just have it but should actively show it by doing works that prove that we do have the faith in the God that we should have.
Come bless the Lord.

This reading talks alot about faith and judgement. That we should be showing our faith through our deeds and that deeds without faith or faith without deeds gets us nowhere. Also, in regard to judgment, we should not stand in judgement of others. This relates to how people look, but also other attributes they may show outwardly. There is a part also about picking and choosing the commandments that you break or follow and how we should be following all the commands, not just whatever we choose.
In this psalm it speaks of Zion, like it is heaven where God is. We should be praising the lord.
