1
I will sing of your faithful love and good judgment. I will sing praises to you, Lord.
2
I will make sure my life is blameless. When will you come and help me? My life will be one of integrity even in private.*
3
I will not look at anything evil. I hate doing wrong—I won't have anything to do with it.
4
I won't think bad thoughts—I won't even consider anything evil.
5
I will silence anyone who secretly slanders their neighbor. I won't tolerate anyone who is proud and arrogant.
6
I look for faithful people to live with me; only those who are trustworthy will serve me.
7
No one who is dishonest will live in my house; no liars will be allowed in my presence.
8
I work every day to silence the wicked in the land, to rid the city of the Lord of all who do evil.
