1. Oh, let me sing about faithful love and justice!I want to sing my praises to you, Lord!
2. I want to study the way of integrity—how long before it gets here?I will walk with a heart of integrityin my own house.
3. I won’t set my eyes on anything worthless.I hate wrongdoing;none of that will stick to me.
4. A corrupt heart will be far from me.I won’t be familiar with evil.
5. I will destroy anyonewho secretly tells lies about a neighbor.I can’t stomach anyonewho has proud eyes or an arrogant heart.
6. My eyes focus on thosewho are faithful in the land,to have them close to me.The person who walks without blamewill work for me.
7. But the person who acts deceitfullywon’t stay in my house.The person who tells lieswon’t last for long before me.
8. Every morning I will destroyall those who are wicked in the landin order to eliminate all evildoersfrom the Lord’s city.
