Christian Standard Bible | New International Version |
1I will sing of faithful love and justice; I will sing praise to you, LORD. | 1Of David. A psalm. I will sing of your love and justice; to you, LORD, I will sing praise. |
2I will pay attention to the way of integrity. When will you come to me? I will live with a heart of integrity in my house. | 2I will be careful to lead a blameless life-- when will you come to me? I will conduct the affairs of my house with a blameless heart. |
3I will not let anything worthless guide me. I hate the practice of transgression; it will not cling to me. | 3I will not look with approval on anything that is vile. I hate what faithless people do; I will have no part in it. |
4A devious heart will be far from me; I will not be involved with evil. | 4The perverse of heart shall be far from me; I will have nothing to do with what is evil. |
5I will destroy anyone who secretly slanders his neighbor; I cannot tolerate anyone with haughty eyes or an arrogant heart. | 5Whoever slanders their neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not tolerate. |
6My eyes favor the faithful of the land so that they may sit down with me. The one who follows the way of integrity may serve me. | 6My eyes will be on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; the one whose walk is blameless will minister to me. |
7No one who acts deceitfully will live in my palace; the one who tells lies will not be retained here to guide me. | 7No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house; no one who speaks falsely will stand in my presence. |
8Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, wiping out all evildoers from the LORD's city. | 8Every morning I will put to silence all the wicked in the land; I will cut off every evildoer from the city of the LORD. |
