1. I will sing of steadfast love and justice;to you, O Lord, I will make music.
2. I will ponder the way that is blameless.Oh when will you come to me?I will walk with integrity of heartwithin my house;
3. I will not set before my eyesanything that is worthless.I hate the work of those who fall away;it shall not cling to me.
4. A perverse heart shall be far from me;I will know nothing of evil.
5. Whoever slanders his neighbor secretlyI will destroy.Whoever has a haughty look and an arrogant heartI 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 the way that is blamelessshall minister to me.
7. No one who practices deceitshall dwell in my house;no one who utters liesshall continue before my eyes.
8. Morning by morning I will destroyall the wicked in the land, cutting off all the evildoersfrom the city of the Lord.
