New King James Version NKJV
New International Version NIV
1 A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and justice; To You, O Lord, I will sing praises.
1
I will sing of your love and justice; to you, LORD, I will sing praise.
2 I will behave wisely in a perfect way. Oh, when will You come to me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
2
I will be careful to lead a blameless life— when will you come to me? I will conduct the affairs of my house with a blameless heart.
3 I will set nothing wicked before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; It shall not cling to me.
3
I will not look with approval on anything that is vile. I hate what faithless people do; I will have no part in it.
4 A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will not know wickedness.
4
The perverse of heart shall be far from me; I will have nothing to do with what is evil.
5 Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, Him I will destroy; The one who has a haughty look and a proud heart, Him I will not endure.
5
Whoever slanders their neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not tolerate.
6 My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land, That they may dwell with me; He who walks in a perfect way, He shall serve me.
6
My eyes will be on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; the one whose walk is blameless will minister to me.
