1 A Psalm. Of David. I will make a song of mercy and righteousness; to you, O Lord, will I make melody.2 I will do wisely in the way of righteousness: O when will you come to me? I will be walking in my house with a true heart.3 I will not put any evil thing before my eyes; I am against all turning to one side; I will not have it near me.4 The false heart I will send away from me: I will not have an evil-doer for a friend.5 I will put to death anyone who says evil of his neighbour secretly; the man with a high look and a heart of pride is disgusting to me.6 My eyes will be on those of good faith in the land, so that they may be living in my house; he who is walking in the right way will be my servant.7 The worker of deceit will not come into my house; the false man will have no place before my eyes.8 Morning by morning will I put to death all the sinners in the land, so that all evil-doers may be cut off from Jerusalem.

1 Van Dawid. 'n Psalm. Ek wil sing van goedertierenheid en reg; tot u eer wil ek psalmsing, o HERE!2 Ek wil ag gee op regskape wandel -- wanneer sal U na my kom? Ek wandel in die opregtheid van my hart, binne-in my huis.3 Ek stel geen lae ding voor my oë nie; die dade van afvalliges haat ek; die sal my nie aankleef nie.4 'n Verkeerde hart moet ver van my af bly; wat kwaad is, wil ek nie ken nie.5 Hy wat heimlik van sy naaste kwaad spreek, hom sal ek vernietig; hy wat hoog van oë is en trots van hart, hom verdra ek nie.6 My oë sal wees op die getroues in die land, dat hulle by my kan woon; hy wat wandel in die weg van opregtheid, die mag my dien.7 Hy wat bedrog pleeg, mag binne-in my huis nie bly nie; wie leuens praat, kan voor my oë nie bestaan nie.8 Elke môre sal ek al die goddelose van die land vernietig, om al die werkers van ongeregtigheid uit die stad van die HERE uit te roei.
