1 I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To you, Yahweh, I will sing praises.
2 I will be careful to live a blameless life. When will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.
3 I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.
4 A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.
5 I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won’t tolerate one who is haughty and conceited.
6 My eyes will be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he will serve me.
7 He who practices deceit won’t dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won’t be established before my eyes.
8 Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land; to cut off all the workers of iniquity from Yahweh’s city.
