| King James Bible | International Standard Version |
| 1A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing. | 1I will sing about gracious love and justice; LORD, I will sing praise to you. |
| 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. | 2I will pay attention to living a life of integrity— when will I attain it? I will live with integrity of heart in my house. |
| 3I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. | 3I will not even think about doing anything lawless; I hate to do evil deeds; I will have none of it. |
| 4A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person. | 4I will not allow anyone with a perverted mind in my presence; I will not be involved with anything evil. |
| 5Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer. | 5I will destroy the one who secretly slanders a friend. I will not allow the proud and haughty to prevail. |
| 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. | 6My eyes are looking at the faithful of the land, so they may live with me; The one who lives a life of integrity will serve me. |
| 7He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. | 7A deceitful person will not sit in my house; A liar will not remain in my presence. |
| 8I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD. | 8Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, eliminating everyone who practices iniquity from the LORD's city. |
