1I will sing of mercy and [987]justice; To You, LORD, I will sing praises.
2I will carefully attend to the [988]blameless way. When will You come to me? I will walk within my house in the [989]integrity of my heart.
3I will set no worthless thing before my eyes; I hate the [990]work of those who fall away; It shall not cling to me.
4A perverse heart shall leave me; I will know no evil.
5Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will [991]destroy; I will not endure one who has a haughty look and an arrogant heart.
6My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; One who walks in a [992]blameless way is one who will serve me.
7One who practices deceit shall not dwell within my house; One who speaks lies shall not [993]maintain his position before me.
8Every morning I will [994]destroy all the wicked of the land, So as to eliminate from the city of the LORD all those who do injustice.
