1 Promised Faithfulness to the Lord A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and justice; To You, O Lord , I will sing praises.
2 I will behave wisely in a perfect way. Oh, when will You come to me? I will 1 Kin. 11:4 walk within my house with a perfect heart.
3 I will set nothing wicked before my eyes; Ps. 97:10 I hate the work of those Josh. 23:6 who fall away; It shall not cling to me.
4 A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will not (Ps. 119:115) know wickedness.
5 Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, Him I will destroy; Prov. 6:17 The one who has a haughty look and a proud heart, Him I will not endure.
6 My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land, That they may dwell with me; He who walks in a perfect way, He shall serve me.
7 He who works deceit shall not dwell within my house; He who tells lies shall not continue in my presence.
8 (Ps. 75:10); Jer. 21:12 Early I will destroy all the wicked of the land, That I may cut off all the evildoers Ps. 48:2, 8 from the city of the Lord .
