Of David. A psalm.
1 I will sing of your love(a) and justice;
to you,
Lord
, I will sing praise.

when will you come to me?
I will conduct the affairs(c) of my house
with a blameless heart.
3 I will not look with approval
on anything that is vile.(d)
I hate what faithless people do;(e)
I will have no part in it.
4 The perverse of heart(f) shall be far from me;
I will have nothing to do with what is evil.
5 Whoever slanders their neighbor(g) in secret,
I will put to silence;
whoever has haughty eyes(h) and a proud heart,
I will not tolerate.
6 My eyes will be on the faithful in the land,
that they may dwell with me;
the one whose walk is blameless(i)
will minister to me.
7 No one who practices deceit
will dwell in my house;
no one who speaks falsely
will stand in my presence.
8 Every morning(j) I will put to silence
all the wicked(k) in the land;
I will cut off every evildoer(l)
from the city of the
Lord
