| 1I will sing of steadfast love and justice; to you, O LORD, I will make music. | 1A Psalm of David. I will sing of lovingkindness and justice, To You, O LORD, I will sing praises. |
| 2I will ponder the way that is blameless. Oh when will you come to me? I will walk with integrity of heart within my house; | 2I will give heed to the blameless way. When will You come to me? I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart. |
| 3I will not set before my eyes anything that is worthless. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me. | 3I will set no worthless thing before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; It shall not fasten its grip on me. |
| 4A perverse heart shall be far from me; I will know nothing of evil. | 4A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know no evil. |
| 5Whoever slanders his neighbor secretly I will destroy. Whoever has a haughty look and an arrogant heart I will not endure. | 5Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy; No one who has a haughty look and an arrogant heart will I endure. |
| 6I will look with favor on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in the way that is blameless shall minister to me. | 6My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; He who walks in a blameless way is the one who will minister to me. |
| 7No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who utters lies shall continue before my eyes. | 7He who practices deceit shall not dwell within my house; He who speaks falsehood shall not maintain his position before me. |
| 8Morning by morning I will destroy all the wicked in the land, cutting off all the evildoers from the city of the LORD. | 8Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, So as to cut off from the city of the LORD all those who do iniquity. |
