A Psalm of David. 1 I will sing of mercy and judgment: Unto thee, O LORD, will I sing. 2 I 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. 3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; It shall not cleave to me. 4 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person. 5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, Him will I cut off: Him that hath an high look And a proud heart will not I suffer. 6 Mine 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. 7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: He that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. 8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; That I may cut off All wicked doers from the city of the LORD. |
