Verses 1-8 - Of David. A psalm.
1. I will sing of your love and justice; to you, O LORD, I will sing praise.
2. I will be careful to lead a blameless life-- when will you come to me? I will walk in my house with blameless heart.
3. I will set before my eyes no vile thing. The deeds of faithless men I hate; they will not cling to me.
4. Men of perverse heart shall be far from me; I will have nothing to do with evil.
5. Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, him will I put to silence; whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart, him will I not endure.
6. My eyes will be on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; he whose walk is blameless will minister to me.
7. No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house; no one who speaks falsely will stand in my presence.
8. Every morning I will put to silence all the wicked in the land; I will cut off every evildoer from the city of the LORD.
