[1] I will sing of lovingkindness and justice: Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I sing praises.
[2] I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way: Oh when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
[3] I will set no base thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; It shall not cleave unto me.
[4] A perverse heart shall depart from me: I will know no evil thing.
[5] Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy: Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.
[6] Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: He that walketh in a perfect way, he shall minister unto me.
[7] He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.
[8] Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land; To cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.
