1A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and justice; unto Thee, O LORD, will I sing praises.
1I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To you, LORD, I will sing praises.
2I will give heed unto the way of integrity; Oh when wilt Thou come unto me? I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.
2I will be careful to live a blameless life. When will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.
3I will set no base thing before mine eyes; I hate the doing of things crooked; it shall not cleave unto me.
3I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.
4A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know no evil thing.
4A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.
5Whoso slandereth his neighbour in secret, him will I destroy; whoso is haughty of eye and proud of heart, him will I not suffer.
5I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won’t tolerate one who is arrogant and conceited.
6Mine eyes are upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he that walketh in a way of integrity, he shall minister unto me.
6My eyes will be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he will serve me.
7He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house; he that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.
7He who practices deceit won’t dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won’t be established before my eyes.
8Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land; to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the LORD.
8Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land, to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the LORD’s city.
