New International Version

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

1Of David. A psalm. I will sing of your love and justice; to you, LORD, I will sing praise.

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

3I will not look with approval on anything that is vile. I hate what faithless people do; I will have no part in it.

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

5Whoever slanders their neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not tolerate.

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 will be on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; the one whose walk is blameless will minister to me.

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

7No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house; no one who speaks falsely will stand 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 put to silence all the wicked in the land; I will cut off every evildoer from the city of the LORD.
