¹ A Psalm of David. I WILL sing of mercy and loving-kindness and justice; to You, O Lord, will I sing. ² I will behave myself wisely and give heed to the blameless way--O when will You come to me? I will walk within my house in integrity and with a blameless heart. ³ I will set no base or wicked thing before my eyes. I hate the work of them who turn aside ; it shall not grasp hold of me. ⁴ A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know no evil person or thing. ⁵ Whoso privily slanders his neighbor, him will I cut off ; he who has a haughty look and a proud and arrogant heart I cannot and I will not tolerate. ⁶ My eyes shall upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks blamelessly, he shall minister to me. ⁷ He who works deceit shall not dwell in my house; he who tells lies shall not continue in my presence. ⁸ Morning after morning I will root up all the wicked in the land, that I may eliminate all the evildoers from the city of the Lord.
