1. I will sing of mercy and judgment:
1. unto thee, O Lord, will I sing.
2. I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way.
2. O when wilt thou come unto me?
2. I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
3. I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes:
3. I hate the work of them that turn aside;
3. it shall not cleave to me.
4. A froward heart shall depart from me:
4. I will not know a wicked person.
5. Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I cut off:
5. him that hath a high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
6. Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land,
6. that they may dwell with me:
6. he that walketh in a perfect way,
6. he shall serve me.
7. He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house:
7. he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
8. I will early destroy all the wicked of the land;
8. that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the Lord.
