1. I will sing of mercy and judgment; unto thee, O Lord, will I sing.
2. When thou shalt come unto me, I will walk in the way of perfection and understand. I will walk in the midst of my house in the perfection of my heart.
3. I will set nothing of Belial before my eyes: I hate the work of those that betray; it shall not cleave to me.
4. A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will not know a wicked person.
5. Whosoever secretly slanders his neighbour, I will cut off; he that has a high look and a proud heart I will not suffer.
6. My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he that walks in the way of perfection, he shall serve me.
7. He that works deceit shall not dwell within my house; he that tells lies shall not tarry in my sight.
8. I will early destroy all the wicked of the land, that I may cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the Lord.
