1I WILL sing of mercy and judgment; unto thee, O LORD, will I sing. 2I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come to me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. 3I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes; I hate the doers of evil, they shall not come near to me. 4A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know not evil. 5He who accuses his neighbor falsely will I destroy; with him who has a high look and a proud heart I will not eat. 6Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in a perfect way shall serve me. 7He who works deceit shall not dwell within my house; he who tells lies shall not tarry in my sight. 8In the early morning I will silence all the wicked of the earth; and I will destroy all the doers of iniquity from the city of the LORD.
