1I will sing about gracious love and justice; LORD, I will sing praise to you. | 1A Davidic psalm. I will sing of faithful love and justice; I will sing praise to You, LORD. |
2I will pay attention to living a life of integrity— when will I attain it? I will live with integrity of heart in my house. | 2I will pay attention to the way of integrity. When will You come to me? I will live with a heart of integrity in my house. |
3I will not even think about doing anything lawless; I hate to do evil deeds; I will have none of it. | 3I will not set anything worthless before my eyes. I hate the practice of transgression; it will not cling to me. |
4I will not allow anyone with a perverted mind in my presence; I will not be involved with anything evil. | 4A devious heart will be far from me; I will not be involved with evil. |
5I will destroy the one who secretly slanders a friend. I will not allow the proud and haughty to prevail. | 5I will destroy anyone who secretly slanders his neighbor; I cannot tolerate anyone with haughty eyes or an arrogant heart. |
6My eyes are looking at the faithful of the land, so they may live with me; The one who lives a life of integrity will serve me. | 6My eyes favor the faithful of the land so that they may sit down with me. The one who follows the way of integrity may serve me. |
7A deceitful person will not sit in my house; A liar will not remain in my presence. | 7No one who acts deceitfully will live in my palace; no one who tells lies will remain in my presence. |
8Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, eliminating everyone who practices iniquity from the LORD's city. | 8Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, eliminating all evildoers from the LORD's city. |
