1  I will sing of csteadfast love and justice;

to you, O Lord, I will make music.

2  I will dponder the way ethat is blameless.

Oh when will you fcome to me?

I will gwalk with hintegrity of heart

within my house;

3  I will not set before my eyes

anything ithat is worthless.

I hate the work of those who jfall away;

it shall not cling to me.

4  kA perverse heart shall be far from me;

I will lknow nothing of evil.

5  Whoever slanders his neighbor msecretly

I will ndestroy.

Whoever has a ohaughty look and an parrogant heart

I will not endure.

6  I will look with favor on the faithful in the land,

that they may dwell with me;

he who walks in qthe way that is blameless

shall minister to me.

7  No one who rpractices deceit

shall dwell in my house;

no one who utters lies

shall scontinue before my eyes.

8  tMorning by morning I will destroy

all the wicked in the land,

ucutting off all vthe evildoers

from wthe city of the Lord.
