| 1 | To David a chanting. Mercy and judgment will I sing to thee, O Jehovah: I will play on the harp. | 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 be prudent in a blameless way. When wilt thou come to me? I will go about in integrity of heart in the midst of 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 set a word of Belial before mine eyes: I hated him doing transgressions; he shall not cleave to me. | 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 | A heart of oppression shall depart from me: I shall not know 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 | Slandering his neighbor in secret, him will I cut off: him being lofty of eyes and broad of heart, with him I will not eat. | 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 | Mine eyes are upon the faithful of the earth, to dwell with me: he walking in a blameless way, he shall 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 | He doing deceit shall not dwell in the midst of my house: he speaking falsehoods shall not be prepared before mine eyes. | 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 | For the mornings I will destroy all the unjust of the land; to cut off from the city of Jehovah all doing iniquity. | 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. | |
