The Psalmist’s Profession of Uprightness.
A Psalm of David.
I will sing of mercy and justice;
To You, Lord, I will sing praises.
I will carefully attend to the blameless way. When will You come to me?
I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.
I will set no worthless thing before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; It shall not cling to me.
A perverse heart shall leave me;
I will know no evil.
Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy; I will not endure one who has a haughty look and an arrogant heart.
My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me;
One who walks in a blameless way is one who will serve me.
One who practices deceit shall not dwell within my house;
One who speaks lies shall not maintain his position before me.
Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, So as to eliminate from the city of the Lord all those who do injustice.
