1. 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 walk within my house with a perfect heart.
3. I will set nothing wicked before my eyes;I hate the work of those who fall away;It shall not cling to me.
4. A perverse heart shall depart from me;I will not know wickedness.
5. Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor,Him I will destroy;The one who has a haughty look and a proud heart,Him I will not endure.
