1I will sing of chesed ·loving-kindness· and mishpat ·justice·. To you, Adonai, I will sing zahmar ·musical praise·.

2I will be careful to live a blameless life. When will you come to me?
I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.

3I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men.
They will not cling to me.

4A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.

5I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won’t tolerate one who is haughty and conceited.

6My eyes will be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he will serve me.

7He who practices deceit won’t dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won’t be established before my eyes.

8Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land; to cut off all the workers of vain striving of iniquity from Adonai’s city.
