wipe not   If thou wert strict to mark what is done amiss, even my good deeds must be wiped out: but, LORD, remember me in thy mercy, and let my upright conduct be acceptable to Thee!

But that he expected heaven for his good deeds does not appear; for it is perfectly clear that he expected nothing from God but through the greatness of his mercy. Neh 13:22
good deeds   Heb. kindnesses.
house   1Ch 29:3; 2Ch 24:16; 2Ch 31:20,21; Ezr 7:20,24,27; Psa 122:6-9
