I Will Set No Worthless Thing before My Eyes

1To David a chanting. Mercy and judgment will I sing to thee, O Jehovah: I will play on the harp.

2I will be prudent in a blameless way. When wilt thou come to me? I will go about in integrity of heart in the midst of my house.

3I will not set a word of Belial before mine eyes: I hated him doing transgressions; he shall not cleave to me.

4A heart of oppression shall depart from me: I shall not know evil.

5Slandering his neighbor in secret, him will I cut off: him being lofty of eyes and broad of heart, with him I will not eat.

6Mine eyes are upon the faithful of the earth, to dwell with me: he walking in a blameless way, he shall serve me.

7He doing deceit shall not dwell in the midst of my house: he speaking falsehoods shall not be prepared before mine eyes.

8For the mornings I will destroy all the unjust of the land; to cut off from the city of Jehovah all doing iniquity.
