A Psalm of David
I will sing to you, O Jehovah,
Of loving devotion and justice.
I will sing to you a song of praise.
I will take care to lead a blameless life.
(When will you come to me?) With integrity
Will I conduct the affairs of my household.
I will not countenance what is corrupt.
I hate crookedness; it will not cling to me.
Twisted minds I banish from my presence,
And I will have nothing to do with evil.
He who slanders his neighbor in secret
I will silence, nor will I tolerate
Those with haughty looks and arrogant manners.
I search the land for those who are loyal.
They are the ones I make my companions.
I will be served by those who lead upright lives.
No one deceitful will dwell in my house.
Nor will those that lie stand in my presence.
Every morning I will destroy
Those who are wicked in the land
And banish all evildoers
From the city of Jehovah.
