1 I will sing of loyal love and justice;

I will sing praises to you, O Yahweh.

2 I will give attention to the way of integrity.

When will you come to me?

I will walk in the integrity of my heart

in the midst of my house.

3 I will not set before my eyes

any wicked thing.

I hate the work of those who fall away;b

it will not cling to me.

4 A perverse heart will depart from me;

I will not know evil.

5 One who slanders his neighbor in secret,

him I will destroy.

One haughty of eyes and ⌊arrogant⌋c of heart,

him I will not endure.

6 My eyes will be on the faithful of the land,

that they may live with me.

He who walks in the way of integrity,

he shall minister to me.

7 There will not live in the midst of my house

a worker of deceit.

One who speaks lies

will not remaind before my eyes.

8 ⌊Each morning⌋,e

I will destroy all the wicked of the land,

cutting off from the city of Yahweh all evildoers.
