1 I will sing about gracious love and justice; LORD, I will sing praise to you. I will sing of steadfast love and justice; to you, O LORD, I will make music. Of David. A psalm. I will sing of your love and justice; to you, LORD, I will sing praise.
2 I will pay attention to living a life of integrity— when will I attain it? I will live with integrity of heart in my house. I will ponder the way that is blameless. Oh when will you come to me? I will walk with integrity of heart within my house; I will be careful to lead a blameless life— when will you come to me? I will conduct the affairs of my house with a blameless heart.
3 I will not even think about doing anything lawless; I hate to do evil deeds; I will have none of it. I 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. I will not look with approval on anything that is vile. I hate what faithless people do; I will have no part in it.
4 I will not allow anyone with a perverted mind in my presence; I will not be involved with anything evil. A perverse heart shall be far from me; I will know nothing of evil. The perverse of heart shall be far from me; I will have nothing to do with what is evil.
5 I will destroy the one who secretly slanders a friend. I will not allow the proud and haughty to prevail. Whoever slanders his neighbor secretly I will destroy. Whoever has a haughty look and an arrogant heart I will not endure. Whoever slanders their neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not tolerate.
6 My 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. I 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. My eyes will be on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; the one whose walk is blameless will minister to me.
7 A deceitful person will not sit in my house; A liar will not remain in my presence. No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who utters lies shall continue before my eyes. No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house; no one who speaks falsely will stand in my presence.
8 Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, eliminating everyone who practices iniquity from the LORD's city. Morning by morning I will destroy all the wicked in the land, cutting off all the evildoers from the city of the LORD. Every morning I will put to silence all the wicked in the land; I will cut off every evildoer from the city of the LORD.
