1[[A Psalm (sacred song about or to God) of David [Beloved].]] I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto youⁱ, O LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], will I sing.

2I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when will youⁱ 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 (split open; cut open; divide) to me.

4A perverse (twisted) [habitually disposed to disobedience and opposition] heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked [person].

5Whoso secretly slanders his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that has 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 walks in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

7He that works deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that tells lies shall not tarry 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-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate].
