JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To you, LORD, I will sing praises.
1A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and justice; unto Thee, O LORD, will I sing praises.
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.
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.
3I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.
3I will set no base thing before mine eyes; I hate the doing of things crooked; it shall not cleave unto me.
4A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.
4A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know no evil thing.
5I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won’t tolerate one who is arrogant and conceited.
5Whoso slandereth his neighbour in secret, him will I destroy; whoso is haughty of eye and proud of heart, him will I not suffer.
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.
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.
7He who practices deceit won’t dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won’t be established before my eyes.
7He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house; he that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.
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.
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.
