1A Psalm of David. I will sing of lovingkindness and justice: To you, O Yehovah, I will sing praises.
2I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way: Oh when will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
3I will set no worthless thing before my eyes: I hate the work of those who turn aside; It shall not cling to me.
4A perverse heart shall depart from me: I will know no evil thing.
5Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy: Him who has a haughty look and a proud heart I will not endure.
6My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: He who walks in a perfect way, he shall minister to me.
7He who works deceit shall not dwell within my house: He who speaks falsehood shall not be established before my eyes.
8Morning by morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land; To cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of Yehovah.
