A Psalm of David. 8,6,8,6 ^1I mercy will and judgment sing, Lord, I will sing to thee. ^2With wisdom in a perfect way shall my behaviour be. O when, in kindness unto me, wilt thou be pleas'd to come? I with a perfect heart will walk within my house at home. ^3I will endure no wicked thing before mine eyes to be: I hate their work that turn aside, it shall not cleave to me. ^4A stubborn and a froward heart depart quite from me shall; A person giv'n to wickedness I will not know at all. ^5I'll cut him off that slandereth his neighbour privily: The haughty heart I will not bear, nor him that looketh high. ^6Upon the faithful of the land mine eyes shall be, that they May dwell with me: he shall me serve that walks in perfect way. ^7Who of deceit a worker is in my house shall not dwell; And in my presence shall he not remain that lies doth tell. ^8Yea, all the wicked of the land early destroy will I; All from God's city to cut off that work iniquity. |
