A Psalm of David
. I will sing
of mercy
and judgment
: unto thee, O LORD
, will I sing
.
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
.
I will set no wicked
thing
before mine eyes
: I hate
the work
of them that turn aside
; it shall not cleave
to me.
A froward heart
shall depart
from me: I will not know
a wicked
person .
Whoso privily slandereth
his neighbour
, him will I cut off
: him that hath an high
look
and a proud
heart
will not I suffer
.
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.
He that worketh deceit
shall not dwell
within
my house
: he that telleth
lies
shall not tarry
in my sight
.
I will early destroy
all the wicked
of the land
; that I may cut off
all wicked
doers
from the city
of the LORD
.
