| 1I will sing about gracious love and justice; LORD, I will sing praise to you. | 1I will sing of steadfast love and justice; to you, O LORD, I will make music. |
| 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. | 2I will ponder the way that is blameless. Oh when will you come to me? I will walk with integrity of heart within my house; |
| 3I will not even think about doing anything lawless; I hate to do evil deeds; I will have none of it. | 3I will not set before my eyes anything that is worthless. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me. |
| 4I will not allow anyone with a perverted mind in my presence; I will not be involved with anything evil. | 4A perverse heart shall be far from me; I will know nothing of evil. |
| 5I will destroy the one who secretly slanders a friend. I will not allow the proud and haughty to prevail. | 5Whoever slanders his neighbor secretly I will destroy. Whoever has a haughty look and an arrogant heart I will not endure. |
| 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. | 6I will look with favor on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in the way that is blameless shall minister to me. |
| 7A deceitful person will not sit in my house; A liar will not remain in my presence. | 7No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who utters lies shall continue before my eyes. |
| 8Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, eliminating everyone who practices iniquity from the LORD's city. | 8Morning by morning I will destroy all the wicked in the land, cutting off all the evildoers from the city of the LORD. |
