1 I will sing of mercy and judgment: Unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.
2 I will behave myself wisely In 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 look And a proud heart will not I suffer.
6 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful Of 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 off All wicked doers from the city of the LORD.
