I Will Sing of Loving Kindness and Justice
1{A Psalm of David.} I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.
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.
3I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.
4A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
5Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
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.
7He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
8I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

I Will Set No Worthless Thing before My Eyes

2 I will be careful to live a blameless life. When will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.
3 I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.
4 A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.
5 I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won’t tolerate one who is haughty and conceited.
6 My eyes will be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he will serve me.
7 He who practices deceit won’t dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won’t be established before my eyes.

I Will Set No Worthless Thing before My Eyes
A Psalm of David.
1I will sing of Your loving devotion and justice;
to You, O LORD, I will sing praises.
2 I will ponder the way that is blameless—
when will You come to me?
I will walk in my house
with integrity of heart.
3 I will set no worthless thing
before my eyes.
I hate the work of those who fall away;
it shall not cling to me.
4 A perverse heart shall depart from me;
I will know nothing of evil.
5 Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret,
I will put to silence;
the one with haughty eyes and a proud heart,
I will not endure.
6 My eyes favor the faithful of the land,
that they may dwell with me;
he who walks in the way of integrity
shall minister to me.
7 No one who practices deceit
shall dwell in my house;
no one who tells lies
shall stand in my presence.
8 Every morning I will remove all the wicked of the land,
that I may cut off every evildoer from the city of the LORD.
I Will Sing of Loving Kindness and Justice
1A Psalm of David. Kindness and judgment I sing, To Thee, O Jehovah, I sing praise.
2I act wisely in a perfect way, When dost Thou come in unto me? I walk habitually in the integrity of my heart, In the midst of my house.
3I set not before mine eyes a worthless thing, The work of those turning aside I have hated, It adhereth not to me.
4A perverse heart turneth aside from me, Wickedness I know not.
5Whoso slandereth in secret his neighbour, Him I cut off, The high of eyes and proud of heart, him I endure not.
6Mine eyes are on the faithful of the land, To dwell with me, Whoso is walking in a perfect way, he serveth me.
7He dwelleth not in my house who is working deceit, Whoso is speaking lies Is not established before mine eyes.
8At morning I cut off all the wicked of the land, To cut off from the city of Jehovah All the workers of iniquity!
