New International Version

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

1Of David. A psalm. I will sing of your love and justice; to you, LORD, I will sing praise.

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.

2I will be careful to lead a blameless life-- when will you come to me? I will conduct the affairs of my house with a blameless heart.

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

3I will not look with approval on anything that is vile. I hate what faithless people do; I will have no part in it.

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

4The perverse of heart shall be far from me; I will have nothing to do with what is evil.

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

5Whoever slanders their neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not tolerate.

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.

6My eyes will be on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; the one whose walk is blameless will minister to me.

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

7No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house; no one who speaks falsely will stand in my presence.

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

8Every morning I will put to silence all the wicked in the land; I will cut off every evildoer from the city of the LORD.
