International Standard Version

1A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.

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

2I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect 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 wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

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

4A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.

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

5Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

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

6Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve 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.

7He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

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

8I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers 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.
