[1] I will sing of mercy and judgment; unto Thee, O LORD, will I sing. [2] I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt Thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. [3] I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes; I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. [4] A froward heart shall depart from me; I will not know a wicked person. [5] Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I cut off; him that hath a haughty look and a proud heart will I not suffer. [6] Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me. [7] He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house; he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. [8] I will early destroy all the wicked of the land, that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.
