I will sing of mercy and justice;

Unto Thee, O LORD, will I sing praises.

2I will give heed unto the way of integrity;

Oh when wilt Thou come unto me?

I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.

3I will set no base thing before mine eyes;

I hate the doing of things crooked; it shall not cleave unto me.

4A perverse heart shall depart from me;

I will know no evil thing.

5Whoso slandereth his neighbour in secret, him will I destroy;

Whoso is haughty of eye and proud of heart, him will I not suffer.

6Mine eyes are upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me;

He that walketh in a way of integrity, he shall minister unto me.

7He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house;

He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.

8Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land;

To cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the LORD.
