International Standard Version

1A Psalm of David. I will sing of Your loving devotion and justice; to You, O LORD, I will sing praises.

1I will sing about gracious love and justice; LORD, I will sing praise to you.

2I will ponder the way that is blameless—when will You come to me? I will walk in my house with integrity of heart.

2I will pay attention to living a life of integrity— when will I attain it? I will live with integrity of heart in my house.

3I will set no worthless thing before my eyes. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.

3I will not even think about doing anything lawless; I hate to do evil deeds; I will have none of it.

4A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know nothing of evil.

4I will not allow anyone with a perverted mind in my presence; I will not be involved with anything evil.

5Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; the one with haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not endure.

5I will destroy the one who secretly slanders a friend. I will not allow the proud and haughty to prevail.

6My eyes favor the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in the way of integrity shall minister to me.

6My eyes are looking at the faithful of the land, so they may live with me; The one who lives a life of integrity will serve me.

7No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who tells lies shall stand in my presence.

7A deceitful person will not sit in my house; A liar will not remain in my presence.

8Every morning I will remove all the wicked of the land, that I may cut off every evildoer from the city of the LORD.

8Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, eliminating everyone who practices iniquity from the LORD's city.
