1  I will sing of ^csteadfast love and justice;

to you, O Lord, I will make music.

2  I will ^dponder the way ^ethat is blameless.

Oh when will you ^fcome to me?

I will ^gwalk with ^hintegrity of heart

within my house;

3  I will not set before my eyes

anything ⁱthat is worthless.

I hate the work of those who ^jfall away;

it shall not cling to me.

4  ^kA perverse heart shall be far from me;

I will ^lknow nothing of evil.

5  Whoever slanders his neighbor ^msecretly

I will ⁿdestroy.

Whoever has a ^ohaughty look and an ^parrogant heart

I will not endure.

6  I will look with favor on the faithful in the land,

that they may dwell with me;

he who walks in ^qthe way that is blameless

shall minister to me.

7  No one who ^rpractices deceit

shall dwell in my house;

no one who utters lies

shall ^scontinue before my eyes.

8  ^tMorning by morning I will destroy

all the wicked in the land,

^ucutting off all ^vthe evildoers

from ^wthe city of the Lord.
