Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB
English Standard Version ESV
1 I will sing of faithful love and justice; I will sing praise to You, Lord.
1
I will sing of steadfast love and justice; to you, O Lord, I will make music.
2 I will pay attention to the way of integrity. When will You come to me? I will live with integrity of heart in my house.
2
I will ponder the way that is blameless. Oh when will you come to me? I will walk with integrity of heart within my house;
3 I will not set anything godless before my eyes. I hate the doing of transgression; it will not cling to me.
3
I will not set before my eyes anything that is worthless. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.
4 A devious heart will be far from me; I will not be involved with evil.
4
A perverse heart shall be far from me; I will know nothing of evil.
5 I will destroy anyone who secretly slanders his neighbor; I cannot tolerate anyone with haughty eyes or an arrogant heart.
5
Whoever slanders his neighbor secretly I will destroy. Whoever has a haughty look and an arrogant heart I will not endure.
6 My eyes [favor] the faithful of the land so that they may sit down with me. The one who follows the way of integrity may serve me.
6
I will look with favor on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in the way that is blameless shall minister to me.
7 No one who acts deceitfully will live in my palace; no one who tells lies will remain in my presence.
7
No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who utters lies shall continue before my eyes.
8 Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, eliminating all evildoers from the Lord's city.
8
Morning by morning I will destroy all the wicked in the land, cutting off all the evildoers from the city of the Lord.
