A Psalm of David.
1
I will sing of mercy and judgment:Unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.
2
I will behave myself wiselyIn a perfect way.O when wilt thou come unto me?I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
3
I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside;It shall not cleave to me.
4
A froward heart shall depart from me:I will not know a wicked person.
5
Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour,Him will I cut off:Him that hath an high lookAnd a proud heart will not I suffer.
6
Mine eyes shall be upon the faithfulOf the land, that they may dwell with me:He that walketh in a perfect way,He shall serve me.
7
He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house:He that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
8
I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; That I may cut offAll wicked doers from the city of the LORD.
