1 I will sing of faithful love and justice;

I will sing praise to you,  Lord.  *

2 I 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.  *

3 I will not let anything worthless guide me.  *

I hate the practice of transgression;

it will not cling to me.  *

4 A devious heart will be far from me;

I will not be involved with  *  evil.  *

5 I will destroy anyone

who secretly slanders his neighbor;  *

I cannot tolerate anyone

with haughty eyes or an arrogant heart.  *

6 My 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.  *

7 No one who acts deceitfully

will live in my palace;

the one who tells lies

will not be retained here to guide me.  *,*

8 Every morning I will destroy

all the wicked of the land,

wiping out all evildoers from the  Lord’s city.  *
