International Standard Version

1A psalm of David. I will sing about loyalty and justice! To you, O LORD, I will sing praises!

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

2I will walk in the way of integrity. When will you come to me? I will conduct my business with integrity in the midst of my palace.

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 even consider doing what is dishonest. I hate doing evil; I will have no part of it.

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

4I will have nothing to do with a perverse person; I will not permit 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 slanders his neighbor in secret. I will not tolerate anyone who has a cocky demeanor and an arrogant attitude.

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

6I will favor the honest people of the land, and allow them to live with me. Those who walk in the way of integrity will attend 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.

7Deceitful people will not live in my palace. Liars will not be welcome in my presence.

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

8Each morning I will destroy all the wicked people in the land, and remove all evildoers from the city of the LORD.

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