| 1I will sing of faithful love and justice; I will sing praise to you, LORD. | 1I will sing of your love and justice, LORD. I will praise you with songs. |
| 2I will pay attention to the way of integrity. When will you come to me? I will live with a heart of integrity in my house. | 2I will be careful to live a blameless life— when will you come to help me? I will lead a life of integrity in my own home. |
| 3I will not let anything worthless guide me. I hate the practice of transgression; it will not cling to me. | 3I will refuse to look at anything vile and vulgar. I hate all who deal crookedly; I will have nothing to do with them. |
| 4A devious heart will be far from me; I will not be involved with evil. | 4I will reject perverse ideas and stay away from every evil. |
| 5I will destroy anyone who secretly slanders his neighbor; I cannot tolerate anyone with haughty eyes or an arrogant heart. | 5I will not tolerate people who slander their neighbors. I will not endure conceit and pride. |
| 6My eyes favor the faithful of the land so that they may sit down with me. The one who follows the way of integrity may serve me. | 6I will search for faithful people to be my companions. Only those who are above reproach will be allowed to serve me. |
| 7No one who acts deceitfully will live in my palace; the one who tells lies will not be retained here to guide me. | 7I will not allow deceivers to serve in my house, and liars will not stay in my presence. |
| 8Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, wiping out all evildoers from the LORD's city. | 8My daily task will be to ferret out the wicked and free the city of the LORD from their grip. |
