1 A Psalm of David. I will sing of lovingkindness and justice : Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I sing praises.
2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way : Oh when wilt thou come unto me ? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
3 I will set no base thing before mine eyes : I hate the work of them that turn aside ; It shall not cleave unto me.
4 A perverse heart shall depart from me : I will know no evil thing.
5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy : Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.
6 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me : He that walketh in a perfect way, he shall minister unto me.
7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house : He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.
8 Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land ; To cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.
