1«A Psalm of David.» I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing. 2I 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. 3I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; [it] shall not cleave to me. 4A froward heart shall depart from me: I will knowe none euill. 5Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer. 6Mine 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. 7There shal no deceitful person dwell within mine house: he that telleth lyes, shall not remaine in my sight. 8I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.
