1. I will sing of mercy and justice;

1. to You, O Lord, I will sing.

2. I will consider the path that is blameless.

2. When will You come to me?

2. I will walk within my house

2. with a perfect heart.

3. I will set no wicked thing

3. before my eyes.

3. I hate the work of those who turn aside;

3. it shall not have part of me.

4. A perverted heart shall be far from me;

4. I will not know anything wicked.

5. Whoever privately slanders his neighbor,

5. him I will destroy;

5. whoever has a haughty look and a proud heart

5. I will not endure.

6. My eyes shall be favorable to the faithful in the land,

6. that they may live with me;

6. he who walks in a blameless manner,

6. he shall serve me.

7. He who practices deceit

7. shall not dwell within my house;

7. he who tells lies

7. shall not remain in my sight.

8. Every morning I will destroy

8. all the wicked in the land,

8. that I may cut off all wicked doers

8. from the city of the Lord.
