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

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

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.

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.

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

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

4The perverse of heart shall be far from me; I will have nothing to do with what is evil.

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

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

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

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.

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.

7No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house; no one who speaks falsely will stand in my presence.

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

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.

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