A Psalm by David.

1 I will sing of loving kindness and justice.

To you, LORD, I will sing praises.

2 I will be careful to live a blameless life.

When will you come to me?

I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.

3 I will set no vile thing before my eyes.

I hate the deeds of faithless men.

They will not cling to me.

4 A perverse heart will be far from me.

I will have nothing to do with evil.

5 I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor.

I won’t tolerate one who is arrogant and conceited.

6 My eyes will be on the faithful of the land,

that they may dwell with me.

He who walks in a perfect way,

he will serve me.

7 He who practices deceit won’t dwell within my house.

He who speaks falsehood won’t be established before my eyes.

8 Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land,

to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the LORD’s city.

2 Procurarei andar num caminho recto; para isso preciso que venhas ajudar-me, especialmente no meu lar para proceder como devo.

4 Também recusarei que o meu coração ganhe o gosto das coisas tortas. Rejeito o contacto com a maldade.

5 Serei intransigente para com os que caluniam o seu próximo nas costas dele. Não posso suportar os orgulhosos, que têm atitudes altivas, arrogantes.

8 Sem descanso, dia após dia, serei intolerante para com os maus deste mundo, a fim de que a cidade de Deus fique limpa de todos os que praticam o pecado!
