A Psalm by David.

• ¹I will sing of loving kindness and justice.
• To you, Yahweh, I will sing praises.

• ²I will be careful to live a blameless life.
• When will you come to me?
• I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.

• ³I will set no vile thing before my eyes.
• I hate the deeds of faithless men.
• They will not cling to me.

• ⁴A perverse heart will be far from me.
• I will have nothing to do with evil.

• ⁵I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor.
• I won’t tolerate one who is haughty and conceited.

• ⁶My eyes will be on the faithful of the land,
• that they may dwell with me.

• He who walks in a perfect way,
• he will serve me.

• ⁷He who practices deceit won’t dwell within my house.
• He who speaks falsehood won’t 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 Yahweh’s city.
