International Standard Version | New Living Translation |
1I will sing about gracious love and justice; LORD, I will sing praise to you. | 1I will sing of your love and justice, LORD. I will praise you with songs. |
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 be careful to live a blameless life— when will you come to help me? I will lead a life of integrity in my own home. |
3I will not even think about doing anything lawless; I hate to do evil deeds; I will have none of it. | 3I will refuse to look at anything vile and vulgar. I hate all who deal crookedly; I will have nothing to do with them. |
4I will not allow anyone with a perverted mind in my presence; I will not be involved with anything evil. | 4I will reject perverse ideas and stay away from every evil. |
5I will destroy the one who secretly slanders a friend. I will not allow the proud and haughty to prevail. | 5I will not tolerate people who slander their neighbors. I will not endure conceit and pride. |
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 search for faithful people to be my companions. Only those who are above reproach will be allowed to serve me. |
7A deceitful person will not sit in my house; A liar will not remain in my presence. | 7I will not allow deceivers to serve in my house, and liars will not stay in my presence. |
8Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, eliminating everyone who practices iniquity from the LORD's city. | 8My daily task will be to ferret out the wicked and free the city of the LORD from their grip. |
