1 Oh, let me sing about faithful love and justice! I want to sing my praises to you, LORD!
1
I will sing of loyalty and of justice; to you, O Lord, I will sing.
2 I want to study the way of integrity— how long before it gets here? I will walk with a heart of integrity in my own house.
2
I will study the way that is blameless. When shall I attain it? I will walk with integrity of heart within my house;
3 I won't set my eyes on anything worthless. I hate wrongdoing; none of that will stick to me.
3
I will not set before my eyes anything that is base. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.
4 A corrupt heart will be far from me. I won't be familiar with evil.
4
Perverseness of heart shall be far from me; I will know nothing of evil.
5 I will destroy anyone who secretly tells lies about a neighbor. I can't stomach anyone who has proud eyes or an arrogant heart.
5
One who secretly slanders a neighbor I will destroy. A haughty look and an arrogant heart I will not tolerate.
6 My eyes focus on those who are faithful in the land, to have them close to me. The person who walks without blame will work for me.
6
I will look with favor on the faithful in the land, so that they may live with me; whoever walks in the way that is blameless shall minister to me.
7 But the person who acts deceitfully won't stay in my house. The person who tells lies won't last for long before me.
7
No one who practices deceit shall remain in my house; no one who utters lies shall continue in my presence.
8 Every morning I will destroy all those who are wicked in the land in order to eliminate all evildoers from the LORD's city.
8
Morning by morning I will destroy all the wicked in the land, cutting off all evildoers from the city of the Lord.
