1. A psalm of David. I will sing of lovingkindness and justice. To You, Adonai, I will sing praises.
2. I will behave wisely in the way of integrity —when will You come to me? I walk in my house with integrity in my heart.
3. No base thing will I set before my eyes. Twisted behavior I hate— it will not cling to me.
4. A perverse heart will depart from me. I will know nothing evil.
5. Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret —him I will silence. Who has haughty eyes and a proud heart —him I will not tolerate.
6. My eyes are on the trustworthy of the land, to be in my company. One walking in a blameless way will serve me.
7. No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house. No one who utters lies will endure before my eyes.
8. Each morning I silence all the land’s wicked ones— to cut off from Adonai’s city every evildoer.
