The Psalmist’s Profession of Uprightness.

A Psalm of David.

1
I will sing of lovingkindness and justice,
To You, O LORD, I will sing praises.

2
I will give heed to the blameless way.
When will You come to me?
I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.

3
I will set no worthless thing before my eyes;
I hate the work of those who fall away;
It shall not fasten its grip on me.

4
A perverse heart shall depart from me;
I will know no evil.

5
Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy;
No one who has a haughty look and an arrogant heart will I endure.

6
My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me;
He who walks in a blameless way is the one who will minister to me.

7
He who practices deceit shall not dwell within my house;
He who speaks falsehood shall not maintain his position before me.

8
Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land,
So as to cut off from the city of the LORD all those who do iniquity.
