International Standard Version

1A Davidic psalm. I will sing of faithful love and justice; I will sing praise to You, LORD.

1I will sing about gracious love and justice; LORD, I will sing praise to you.

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 pay attention to living a life of integrity— when will I attain it? I will live with integrity of heart in my house.

3I will not set anything worthless before my eyes. I hate the practice of transgression; it will not cling to me.

3I will not even think about doing anything lawless; I hate to do evil deeds; I will have none of it.

4A devious heart will be far from me; I will not be involved with evil.

4I will not allow anyone with a perverted mind in my presence; I will not be involved with anything evil.

5I will destroy anyone who secretly slanders his neighbor; I cannot tolerate anyone with haughty eyes or an arrogant heart.

5I will destroy the one who secretly slanders a friend. I will not allow the proud and haughty to prevail.

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 are looking at the faithful of the land, so they may live with me; The one who lives a life of integrity will serve me.

7No one who acts deceitfully will live in my palace; no one who tells lies will remain in my presence.

7A deceitful person will not sit in my house; A liar will not remain in my presence.

8Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, eliminating all evildoers from the LORD's city.

8Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, eliminating everyone who practices iniquity from the LORD's city.
