International Standard Version

1 I will sing about gracious love and justice; LORD, I will sing praise to you.

2 I will pay attention to living a life of integrity— when will I attain it? I will live with integrity of heart in my house.

3 I will not even think about doing anything lawless; I hate to do evil deeds; I will have none of it.

4 I will not allow anyone with a perverted mind in my presence; I will not be involved with ^a anything evil.

5 I will destroy the one who secretly slanders a friend. I will not allow the proud and haughty to prevail.

6 My 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.

7 A deceitful person will not sit in my house; A liar will not remain in my presence.

8 Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, eliminating everyone who practices iniquity from the LORD’s city.
