1 <A Psalm. Of David.> I will make a song of mercy and righteousness; to you, O Lord, will I make melody.
1
01 (Of Dovid. Mizmor) I will sing of chesed and mishpat; unto Thee, Hashem, will I sing.
2 I will do wisely in the way of righteousness: O when will you come to me? I will be walking in my house with a true heart.
2
I will study the derech tamim. O when wilt Thou come unto me? I will walk within my bais with tam levav.
3 I will not put any evil thing before my eyes; I am against all turning to one side; I will not have it near me.
3
I will set no devar beliyya’al before mine eyes; I hate the work of them that fall away; it shall not cleave to me.
4 The false heart I will send away from me: I will not have an evil-doer for a friend.
4
A lev ikkesh (perverse heart) shall be far from me; I will not tolerate rah.
5 I will put to death anyone who says evil of his neighbour secretly; the man with a high look and a heart of pride is disgusting to me.
5
The one who slandereth ba’seter (in secret) his neighbor, him will I destroy; him that hath haughty einayim (eyes) and a proud levav will I not endure.
6 My eyes will be on those of good faith in the land, so that they may be living in my house; he who is walking in the right way will be my servant.
6
Mine eyes shall be upon the ne’emenei eretz (faithful of the land), that they may dwell with me; he that walketh in a derech tamim, he shall minister to me.
7 The worker of deceit will not come into my house; the false man will have no place before my eyes.
7
He that worketh remiyyah (deceit) shall not dwell within my bais; he that speaketh shekarim (falsehoods, lies) shall not continue in my presence.
8 Morning by morning will I put to death all the sinners in the land, so that all evil-doers may be cut off from Jerusalem.
8
In the bokerim I will destroy all rishei eretz (wicked ones of the land); that I may cut off all doers of evil from the Ir Hashem.
