⁰Of David, a psalm.

¹Loyal love and justice I will sing; to you, Yahweh, I will make music.

²Let me act wisely in the blameless way. When will you come to me? I will walk in the integrity of my heart in the midst of my house.

³I will not set a worthless word before my eyes; the doing of those who swerve I hate; it will not cling to me.

⁴A twisted heart will turn away from me; evil I will not know.

⁵Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, him I will put an end to; the one high of eyes and wide of heart, him I cannot endure.

⁶My eyes are on the faithful of the land, to dwell with me; one who walks in the blameless way, he will serve me.

⁷One who practices deceit will not dwell within my house ; one who speaks falsehoods will not be established before my eyes.

⁸Every morning I will put an end to all the wicked of the land, cutting off from the city of Yahweh all who do wickedness.
