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.
