1Of David. A psalm. I will sing of your love and justice; to you, LORD, I will sing praise. | 1A Psalm of David. I will sing of lovingkindness and justice, To You, O LORD, I will sing praises. |
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 give heed to the blameless way. When will You come to me? I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart. |
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 set no worthless thing before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; It shall not fasten its grip on me. |
4The perverse of heart shall be far from me; I will have nothing to do with what is evil. | 4A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know no evil. |
5Whoever slanders their neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not tolerate. | 5Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy; No one who has a haughty look and an arrogant heart will I endure. |
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 shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; He who walks in a blameless way is the one who will minister to me. |
7No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house; no one who speaks falsely will stand in my presence. | 7He who practices deceit shall not dwell within my house; He who speaks falsehood shall not maintain his position before me. |
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, So as to cut off from the city of the LORD all those who do iniquity. |
